Liverpool lacked the 'belief' required to pull off comeback at Atalanta, says Peter Crouch after his former club crashed out of the Europa League as he insists Reds were 'disappointing'

Peter Crouch accused Liverpool of running out of ideas after they failed to pull off a comeback and crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Atalanta on Thursday night.

The Reds entered the second leg of their quarter-final tie needing a miraculous result after losing 3-0 at home to their Italian opponents last week. They made the perfect start when Mohamed Salah put them ahead on the night from the penalty spot inside seven minutes.

But Jurgen Klopp's men struggled to create many clear-cut chances after that and succumbed to a 3-1 aggregate defeat.
