John Aldridge explains what was 'good' about Liverpool's humbling loss to Toulouse

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."
