Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez had little but cliches to offer after his side were stunned by a brave Barnsley side.
Benitez is under yet more pressure after his team were knocked out of the FA Cup by Barnsley.
Championship side Barnsley caused the biggest upset in this season's competition so far as they came from behind to grab a late 2-1 win at Anfield.
"It is very difficult [to describe his feelings] you must be frustrated today," Benitez told Sky Sports News.
"In terms of work ethic we cannot say anything to the players. They worked really hard, we had a lot of chances, but again it was the same situation as in other games.
"We are controlling games but we cannot take our chances and finish games.
"So today was the same. The keeper was a very good signing, he was man-of-the-match with some great saves.
"I am really, really disappointed.
"We had chances, their keeper made fantastic saves, they score in the last minute and sometimes that is football."
Liverpool now have just one more trophy to compete for, and must overcome red hot Inter to stay in the hunt.
"All we can do now is prepare for the next game, we know it is an important game so we must put our heads up and be ready to work really hard for this game," concluded Benitez.

He should be but he is not the only one. He has to do something about it.
