Gareth Taylor on West Ham draw: ‘You have to give the players great credit’


On whether Liverpool will appeal the red card…

You have to be careful with appeals. Sometimes if they go against the appeal, they can make the ban even longer, so I’m not too sure. This is where we would like the officials to be able to express themselves with the decisions they make afterwards and stand in front of a camera like we do. We all get things wrong… we just would like a bit of a better understanding. Of course, if we had the technology, we would look back on that today straight away and see it’s not a red card situation.

On Beata Olsson’s goal…

It was a really good finish. When you have a lot of time in front of goal like that – and she had a lot of time because she worked the situation well. It was a loose pass from West Ham and she made the time for herself and they’re really difficult when you have time because a lot of things go through your mind. For her to finish it off shows the confidence that she’s bringing. She has a lot of goals, and I also thought it was really good for Mia (Enderby) to get her first goal in the WSL, which is hard to believe because she’s a really talented player. But I think she’ll take a lot of confidence from that. Again, that was a very good left foot finish.

On the importance of the winter transfer window with injuries piling up…

It was important before the game. Nothing has changed during that game. Of course, we’ll have to see how the troops recover over the next few days. Regardless of what happened today, we’re really clear on the things we have to improve on for sure. Both on pitch and off pitch it’s trying to increase numbers and get increased quality into the team, that is always going to be at the forefront.
