Improving our set-pieces is a must: Lossl

JONAS Lossl is an angry man.

The 28-year-old Danish international goalkeeper has big enough shoulders to accept Huddersfield Town were beaten by a better team in Liverpool.

But the loan signing from Mainz was far from happy to concede from a corner in the 3-0 defeat Anfield – Liverpool’s second goal being a near-post header by Roberto Firmino from a corner.

“The second goal I’m most angry about, because that’s a part of the game where we could be better – and we are better than them,” said Lossl, who saved a first-half penalty from Mohamed Salah.

“Set pieces in general we have to be better when we play a team like that.

“In the end we lost to a better team and we can’t expect to go there and get points, even though the previous week we did really well (against Manchester United).

“All we can do now is continue, look forward, learn from our mistakes and press on.”

So what of his penalty save, after Tommy Smith had been penalised for tugging the shirt of Firmino?

“Of course it was nice to save the penalty at a crucial time, but we lost to zero and we lost to a better team,” he said.

“I thought we performed well up to the first goal (going in), but it’s gone now. We have to look forward.”

Town, of course, entertain West Brom on Saturday in front of another John Smith’s sell-out crowd.

Tony Pulis’s West Brom are accepted specialists at set pieces, so Town really will have to be on their guard.

Former England manager Sam Allardyce admits he would consider an approach from Everton to become their new boss.

Under 23s coach David Unsworth has been placed in temporary charge following Ronald Koeman’s sacking a week ago but has lost his first two matches in charge.

Ex-Town player Allardyce, out of work since leaving England after just one match in charge, has built a reputation on saving troubled teams and is being linked with the job.

“Who knows? I’d have to consider that, if that phone call happens,” he told beIN SPORTS.

“There’s no point in speculating at the moment, David Unsworth is in the chair.

“Joe (Royle) sat upstairs will have an opinion, but at the moment it looks like it’s really going to be tough for Everton to get out of that position.

“They know what the problems are, they just perhaps want a bit of guidance now how to rectify those problems.”
