Your support makes all the difference.Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder was full of praise for Liverpool after their 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Thursday night.
United never got close to their best and their manager Wilder afterwards admitted they got off lightly with a 2-0 defeat.
“From our point of view I was disappointed because I don’t think we laid a glove on them. I think the scoreline flattered us,” he said.
“I thought Dean Henderson (the goalkeeper) was the difference between it being three, four or five.
“When you come here you have to try to get a foothold in the game and we couldn’t have got off to a worse start. It gave them a big lift and then I thought it was comfortable for Liverpool.
“If there is ever an example for young players – and our players – as to why they are world champions, why they are European champions and look like being Premier League winners as well it is the basic stuff they had to do tonight which they did miles better than us.
“We had to do that a lot better tonight than we did to stand a chance.”
