[liverpool echo] Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi made a mess out of the corner at the near post which found its way to Matip and he tucked it in. Hassenhuttl said, as quoted by : “Then you go deeper again and try to keep the game open for as long as possible but you concede a very easy second goal. You can clear the ball at the near post. The plan is to clear the ball at the first post, this is the plan. If he clears it at the first post, we don’t have to speak about it." Hassenhuttl has claimed that he cannot blame his keeper Alex McCarthy for the goal but regrets going down to such a goal. He added: “We flicked the ball to a player who then heads it from 12 yards, off the back of our head, over our goalkeeper and into the goal. I cannot blame the goalkeeper. It’s the only really frustrating thing for me this evening, that we conceded a goal like this.We know we are not the tallest but the team we played today also are not the tallest. They have two good centre-backs who are coming but it was too easy how we conceded.”
