THE FUSE

Gerrard also spoke about the game and wasn't happy with the actions of some Galatasaray players. He told TNT Sports: "People came here tonight wanting to see a fast paced match and they were rolling around the floor. They were an embarrassment tonight from start to finish. The performance in general was poor, pathetic really. Then you've got players rolling around. They got a couple of genuine injuries tonight, wrist injuries which you respect. As a professional you don't want to see that. But then you see people who aren't really touched and are rolling around on the floor. You get punished for it because they played five minutes at the end of the first half and you get punished even more. There were 11 minutes (in total) at the end of the game. The game could have been 11-0 or 12-0 tonight. Liverpool won at a canter. Liverpool were excellent tonight, they made Galatasaray look bang average. But I thought their performance was pathetic."
