Liverpool lost 1-2 to Chelsea in the seventh round of the Premier League this season after conceding goals in both halves, suffering their second consecutive defeat. However, Isaac said the team had discussed details on pressing and ball possession, and encouraged the team to work hard to rebound and return to winning ways.
In the 14th minute, Gusto passed the ball to Caicedo, who then scored from the top of the penalty area with a long shot, giving Chelsea a 1-0 lead. In the 63rd minute of the second half, Soboslai made a back pass, and Gakpo received Isaac's pass and shot in, helping Liverpool tie the score at 1-1.
In the second half stoppage time, Cucurella assisted Estevan William with a cross and scored, helping Chelsea take the lead again with 2 to 1. In the end, Liverpool lost to Chelsea 1 to 2 away.
After suffering their second Premier League defeat of the season, Liverpool has dropped to second place in the standings with 15 points, one point behind first-placed Arsenal. In addition, Liverpool lost to Galatasaray in the second round of the Champions League earlier this month.
Liverpool striker Isaac said in an interview, "I think we didn't play well at the beginning of the game, but gradually got back to the feeling. In the second half, we tried our best to get a good result, but we lost the ball in the last minute, which is of course difficult to accept. We discussed some details in pressing and controlling the ball, as well as how to find space to hurt the opponent. I think we created enough opportunities to score, but it was not enough in this game."
"Winning in the final moments is of course the best feeling, and losing in this way is the worst. This is normal, and we can only continue to train hard and bounce back as soon as possible to get back on track to win."
Isaac also said, "I think the team's confidence has always been there, and we have proved it many times. Of course, it is never easy, but we still have this belief through hard training, continuous improvement in details and returning to our best form."
"I'm always working hard to get back to my best and it feels good to be playing again. I just wish the result was different, but we'll keep working hard."
Isaac added, "I'm really looking forward to the upcoming schedule this season. If we want to achieve our goals, we have to improve ourselves game by game, and I'm excited about that."
