Adam Lallana says Liverpool must be more "ruthless" in the Champions League | Football News

Adam Lallana played 79 minutes against Belgrade's red star

Adam Lallana admits that Liverpool were not clinically enough in their defeat in the Champions League against Red Star Belgrade in Serbia.

Jurgen Klopp's team had a slow start and was punished after Red Star's Milan Pavkov scored two goals in seven minutes to give Liverpool its second defeat in competition this season.

Lallana says that they are responsible for their actions and hope for a positive response after the last setback.

"We had opportunities and we went out at the start of the second half, which was better, but we were not ruthless enough or patient enough," Lallana said on the club's official website.

"Of course, there will be a reaction, it's not the first time we've lost games, but how you react and how you bounce, but we're really disappointed to have nothing.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it was better to play Paris against PSG to avoid a third defeat in the Champions League on the spot.

"They lost time and we lost momentum, but going 2-0 down was not like us and we have to take full responsibility and ensure that it does not happen again."

Liverpool's hopes of qualifying remain in their hands after the draw in Naples between Naples and Paris Saint-Germain, which left Liverpool tied for six points, with the Italian side leading Group C.

They will then face PSG, third with five points, at the Parc des Princes on November 28, before meeting in Naples on December 11, the former boss of Chelsea, Carlo Ancelotti.

"It's the Champions League and no team is competing to win," said Lallana.

"We knew it was going to be completely different from the match at Anfield a fortnight ago, but it was not, it was not like us, we need to move forward and improve if we want to move to KO steps. "
