Leicester City's Kasper Schmeichel: 'We were below standard against Liverpool'

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel says that the team were below standard in Saturday's defeat to Liverpool.

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has admitted that he and his teammates were below their high standards in last weekend's match against Liverpool.

The defending Premier League champions succumbed to a 4-1 defeat at Anfield - the first game held at the stadium since the redevelopment of the Main Stand.

"We didn't quite hit the standards that we know we can and they punished us - they're a good side," Schmeichel told the club's official website. "They're very fluid and it's difficult to track the runners all the time.

"You've got to give credit to Liverpool. They played well. We weren't at our best, but a lot of credit goes to Liverpool because they were very expansive. They've got pace to burn on the wings and they cut inside a lot, so it's very difficult to defend against.

"It was a tough night, but the old cliche is to dust ourselves down. We have to get our heads on on Wednesday."

Leicester have secured just one victory in four league matches this season following two defeats and a draw.
