Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has admitted to his sadness at Al-Ettifaq's recent result.

The club have not been enjoying the best of campaigns, with a few of their games only attracting 700 fans.

Gerrard is managing the likes of Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, along with many Saudi Arabian domestic players.

"The dressing room was full of sadness on my players faces because of the draw," Gerrard stated after a draw with Al-Ittihad.

"We are disappointed with the result. We were closer to getting the three points.

"No player deserves to be changed, to be honest. That's why we did not use the bench for this match."
