Jamie Carragher has apologised to Liverpool fans after the Reds' ignominious FA Cup exit at the hands of Reading on Wednesday.
The former England international could offer no explanation as to how his side had managed to throw away a 1-0 lead going into injury time at the end of the game.
Instead, he branded the display "unacceptable" and insisted that the players would be doing their best to turn round what has been a pretty disastrous season for the Anfield men so far.
"It was a very bad night for Liverpool and we can't disguise that - we had to do more against a side from a lower league," Carragher told The Liverpool Echo.
"We have to apologise for the way we performed. We have to give credit to Reading, hold our hands up. We all like to win but when you don't, you have to be a good loser.
"We have to accept they deserved it. But, at the same time, we have got to look at ourselves and the way we performed was not acceptable.
"We've got a massive game coming up against Stoke now. It will be very tough, as we played extra time and we have got to show enormous character to come back.
"But that's what we have got to do. We have got to move on but, at the same time, we have to say sorry to the fans who came to Anfield and all those watching on TV."
