While Gerrard admits they were unlucky in the game, he also feels they can learn from the ruthlessness of their opponent.

He said, per Express and Star: "From a defensive point of view, in the second half, it was not good enough individually or collectively. Without naming names, we have a lot to learn. Their world class players destroyed us in the second half.

"The easy way out is to say it was a bad day at the office. We have to look at why. How and why opposition individuals are allowed touches in our box with no-one laying a glove on them.

"We will analyse it with more detail than just saying it was a bad day at the office. That is the easy way out. I don't want to do that. Defensively, we have some issues."
