FT: Liverpool 2-1 Wolves
Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare, speaking to Match of the Day: "Another defeat but the second half was way better than the first. We scored, created more chances, had more of the ball and played more like a team - and I think that is the positive we have to take into the next game."
On Rob Edwards' message at half-time: "First, he said we have to get our heads into the game because we conceded two goals quickly, and then he said we have the quality to keep the ball, play football and win our duels - and that's what we did in the second half."
Did Wolves try to exploit Liverpool's weakness from set-pieces? "We worked on everything: set-pieces, playing, duels, second balls. We worked on that. I don't want to say we were lucky, it was a good cross from Andre and we were prepared to score."
On the task of facing Manchester United at Old Trafford next: "Of course it's not easy playing here at Anfield and then going to Old Trafford - but the teams don't really matter, we're going to try and go into that game how we finished this game."
