The way the Reds played in their loss to the Foxes didn't impress the manager and he said they won't catch Man City if they play the same way.
Ademola Lookman came off the bench to score the winning goal for the Reds.
The wastefulness of the side was to blame for them not closing the six-point gap to City. If City keep winning, they will be 12 points behind the leaders by the time they play on January 2nd.
He said that they cannot both get the points because they play against each other.
It wasn't our plan to give City the chance to run away.
We don't have to think about catching up with City if we play like tonight. We can win normal football games if we play our normal game.
We have to see how many points we can get.
I don't have a proper explanation for tonight, but to find this explanation is my main concern and not the gap to City.
I would not have liked the game if we had won it. I didn't like much in our football game. That is not cool.
We have to do better and improve.

He said that they were not themselves tonight.
I think we started well. I didn't like the intensity at the beginning, but sometimes we have starts like this.
We crossed it too early instead of taking the extra pass. We tried to change it at half-time, but it didn't click.
We did not use the chances, missed free headers, or push hard enough. I thought they deserved it.
A guy who is complaining about playing on the 26th and 28th only plays on the 28th and loses to a guy who had to play on the 26th and 28th.
Matip misses a late chance.

Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to his team as they beat the Reds.
After a difficult December which saw them lose out on the Carabao Cup and lose out on the top six, victory over Bournemouth gave the team a boost as they moved up to ninth and five points off the top six.
They still needed the goalkeeper to be at his best, and he was, as they were able to stay in the game in the first half to get revenge for their Carabao Cup defeat.
Brendan Rodgers said the players put in a heroic effort against a team with so much power.
If everyone isn't working, you don't keep a clean sheet. The context of it was after the game against Manchester City.
"We played a diamond for an hour to keep the threat in the side and then switched to 4-3-3 and showed resilience." They had to put in a lot of work.
I just thought, let's go back to basics with our set-piece defending. An old building. Let's defend well. We did that tonight. The centre-halves were amazing, but they all played their part. We did well.
What's next?

The next game for the Reds will be against the Blues in a game that will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
