"How do I sum this up? Same old story. My expectations have changed throughout the season because I expected more from us and what we are fighting for now. But it's another setback and we didn't help ourselves with this result, not at all. That [dropping points] is a concern because it is not the first time we have dropped points against teams that are in these positions."
"For a team historically known for scoring late winners, it has been a different story for Liverpool this season. They have lost five Premier League games thanks to injury-time goals - the most ever by any team in a single campaign."
"I think it is down to ourselves. It was slow, we [failed to perform adequately]. The financial impact of missing Champions League cannot be underestimated. Slot will know his side simply cannot afford to miss out."
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Wolves in a disappointing performance, conceding an injury-time winner that extended their poor run of form.
