Frank on Liverpool: ‘It’s the best team in the Premier League and the world’ | OneFootball

Brentford manager Thomas Frank says Liverpool are the best team in the world after losing 2-0 late on to the Reds.

The Bees took the Premier League leaders to second half stoppage time before substitute Darwin Nunez popped up with a quick fire double to secure the visitors the win.

Defeat for Brentford means they remain in 11th place, and Frank felt his side did well against one of world football’s top teams.

“I thought we played a really good game against the best team in the world right now,” Frank. “We did a lot of things right. We defended very well. We gave the opportunities away but not too big.

“We probably lacked the final cutting edge. We had some good chances and opportunities that never became opportunities because of the last pass or touch. Their centre-backs were exceptionally good.”

On the first goal: “It’s a deflection that [could] drops anywhere else because he blocks the cross but it dropped perfectly for him [Trent Alexander-Arnold] to play into Nunez. Tough to take but pleased with performance.

“We always try to win the game from minute one despite who’s coming here. We knew they’d have the ball a bit more but we believed we could win the game.

“Yes. I think we just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool, in a short amount of time. For me they’re a level above the two teams. They’re complete. Their work ethic, the way they track back, are good indicators.

“They’re so good all over the pitch. Such a threat going forward. These are really, really good. It’s the best team in the Premier League and the world. They’re huge favourites to win it [the title].”
