Ross Barkley

Yeah, so close.

It's one of those things in football.

He was taking them really well in training all week, penalties, and it happens, so we had to move on and kind of got the crowd going for Liverpool, really, and we had to dig in right at the end because those sort of moments in games can go both ways.

could have been a goal and the game could have been over.

Like it was, we didn't score and they could have gone and got a late goal at the end, so we had to keep our heads and keep switched on, but I think it's progress from last season, great progress, how we competed against them.

They're a top team and to come to Anfield and get a clean sheet is something that us as defenders are really proud of and I'm proud of all the team with how hard they worked.

It was such a physical battle today, I thought,

Everyone put the shift in and did the job for the team.

Yeah, I've literally just started celebrating that we got a penalty.

It's a great opportunity to go and win the game.

not taking any notice who was taking the penalty so I thought it was just decided between the boys and as I said, Riyad was taking them really well in training all week and I had the courage to step up.

How was he in there?

Yeah, he's deflated and

I think if it was me, I'd be the same.

I think he feels he's let us down.

But how he played for us today was, you know, he gave everything, kept the ball and he was top.

And I thought if he scored a goal, it would have made his day.

You know, as I said, those things happen and I'm sure he'll score another one.

Yeah, as I said, it's clean sheet at Anfield.

It's not something that you can do very often.
