Kenny Dalglish would not be drawn on the red cards for Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel as Liverpool were hammered 4-0 by Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
Referee Mike Jones had little option but to dismiss the pair for two bookable offences, with midfielder Adam departing from the action in the first period after pulling down Luka Modric and then catching Scott Parker.
Skrtel followed after the break for his second foul on Gareth Bale but Dalglish, who voiced his concern over decisions going against the Anfield outfit in the wake of their 1-0 defeat to Stoke last time out, kept his opinions to himself.
Modric had already fired Spurs 1-0 up before Adam departed and the home side ran riot following Skrtel's exit, with Emmanuel Adebayor bagging a brace and Jermain Defoe also on target.
"All we can do is try to improve what is within our scope," Dalglish told Sky Sports.
"There will be a lot of controversy and a lot of comments made about what happened during the game.
"I thought Tottenham started better than we did, I thought they played very well. We never reached the level that we are capable of.
"For us, it's been a bad day on the football side. It's a horrible result. Probably the best performance from anyone at the football club was the fans.
"We gave ourselves a difficult start because we never started properly and if you don't do that and go a goal down then you are going to be in a bit of trouble because Tottenham are a good side.
"Everything else that you probably want to talk about - the controversy and the sendings off - I think we will just leave it."
