Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has said his side lacked an end product and failed to defend aggressively enough as they lost 2-0 at Premier League leaders Leicester on Tuesday.
Mignolet, who made a fine stop from Shinji Okazaki's effort to keep the score goalless at the break, was beaten twice after it by Jamie Vardy, the first a spectacular volley from distance.
And he told Liverpool's official website he felt the Merseysiders had failed to take chances to put Leicester under pressure.
"I think we didn't start the game well -- we let Leicester come into the game and didn't defend aggressively enough," he said.
"I was happy at 0-0 at half-time. You can always score a goal on the counter so we were in the game still at half-time, which was positive.
"Unfortunately we didn't manage to create the chances we wanted to or score a goal. The end product hasn't been there -- we didn't create enough chances to score a goal."
Mignolet urged his colleagues to bounce back from the midweek disappointment when they host struggling Sunderland, one of his former clubs, on Saturday.
"The only thing you have to do is learn from the mistakes you made and take the positives into the next game," he said.
"When we play at home against Sunderland, we have to take the three points."
