“We could have won the game at the end. It’s a decent result. I’m upset because if we show it against Liverpool why can’t we do it every week? I finally did a decent performance overall. We need more. More from this season. from us to obtain.”
Looking ahead in light of the performance at Anfield, Fernandes revealed he was actually more “concerned” about facing Premier League strugglers Southampton than Arsenal in the FA Cup.
“It was here but it didn’t come until today’s game,” he reflected. “Now we have an FA Cup game against Arsenal which will be really difficult again. We want to be in that final again. After this performance (against Liverpool) I will probably be more worried about Southampton.”
