QPR manager Harry Redknapp stood by his players when asked if they had not tried against Liverpool.

Luis Suarez went past QPR’s defenders at will and Liverpool should have had more than their three, but Redknapp would not condemn his men.

“It’s difficult,” he told Sky Sports. “It’s easy to sit there and say there’s no fight. It’s easy to say that. We got moved about by better players. Suarez... What can you do when he does that to Clint Hill?

“I think it’s easy to say it was a lack of effort. We started the season getting beat five by Swansea. You can only get the best out of what you’ve got.”
