LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho lamented his team's lack of physicality -- and their problems with injuries -- after they suffered a 3-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. United were forced to draft centre-half Eric Bailly into the starting line-up moments before the game after Chris Smalling suffered an injury during the warm-up. Mourinho said the club's difficulties with injuries had been a long-term issue. "I am really, really happy with the players I had on the pitch with their attitude, with their effort, I am more than happy. Because I am more than happy I assume the responsibilities of the defeat and I want them to be hidden behind me," he said.
