​Minamino frustrated with Liverpool contribution

Japanese star Takumi Minamino has admitted he is frustrated at how little he has played for Liverpool.

The winger joined from RB Salzburg in the January transfer window as first team competition.

But he has failed to dislodge any of the Reds front three for important games, and has got very little playing time since arriving.

He got seven minutes of extra time action in their UEFA Champions League exit against Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday.

"I can't say it was a good experience for me," he told reporters after the game.

"I'm not that young anymore.

"I wanted to produce something.

"The knockout stage is so different from the group stage – quality, intensity, tactics.

"Now I just want to contribute to winning the Premier League."
