John Aldridge reassured that Liverpool are still in the driving seat to qualify for the knockout stage of the Europa League despite suffering a loss against Toulouse.
The Reds missed out on moving into the next round of the competition as they fell to a humbling 3-2 defeat. Although Jarell Quansah had a late goal disallowed following a VAR review, Jurgen Klopp’s men deserved nothing out of the game.
However, Liverpool remain top of Group A with two fixtures remaining. A win against LASK at Anfield later this month will secure a spot in the last 32 while they can go straight into the last 16 by finishing at the summit.
And although the Reds had an off-day, Aldridge believes it was better in the current circumstances than chasing the rest of the pack. Posting on X, he said: “If you’re going to have a bad day at the office it’s good to be top not bottom of your group league folks.”
