Steven Gerrard after Liverpool’s draw against Brentford at Anfield:

“I’m honestly furious watching that game because that should never happen at Anfield.
No disrespect to Brentford, but Liverpool allowed them to go band for band, attack for attack, transition for transition like they were equals for 90 minutes at Anfield.
That’s not the Liverpool standards people are used to.
What frustrates me most is the lack of control.
I genuinely don’t understand what the tactical plan was because the structure looked completely open every time Brentford broke forward.
Under pressure, Liverpool used to suffocate teams physically and mentally at Anfield.
Now it feels like every opponent believes they can come here, play freely and create chances without fear.
And honestly, that’s dangerous because once teams stop fearing Anfield, you lose one of the biggest advantages this football club ever had.
The crowd looked nervous, the players looked exposed and defensively the organisation was all over the place.
For a club with Liverpool’s standards, drawing like that at home should never feel acceptable.”
