Liverpool U18 coach Steven Gerrard was frustrated after their 5-2 Champions League semifinal win over Roma on Tuesday.

Gerrard believes Liverpool should've "killed off" Roma when the first-leg score was 5-0.

He said: “When you go 5-0 up, you've got to kill it off.

“You've got to be professional, keep focus right to end. Liverpool have come down the gears towards the end and paid for it, given Roma a glimmer of hope.

“I think the Roma manager has to take full responsibility for the result tonight.

“It's not often you sit here and say a manager is at fault completely for a team's performance.

“I think today he let his players down, the way he set them up. He set them up almost certainly to lose this game, the way they played - a high line at the back against a team that play quick football.

“I question whether he's even seen Liverpool play this season, the way he set them up."
