Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has called on his team-mates to knuckle down and improve their performances in terms of putting away their chances.
The Reds had many chances during the recent defeat to Tottenham, but scored only once as their opponents responded by coming from behind to win the game.
The Slovakia international now hopes that future performances will be better, so they don't have to suffer the heartbreak of losing in stoppage time.
"Losing that game was very difficult to take," Skrtel told the Liverpool Echo.
"In the first half we did really well and controlled the game. We scored one and created a few more chances.
"In the second half we let them get back in it and to concede again right at the end was so disappointing.
"It came down to us missing our chances. If you don't score goals you don't win games. We have to improve."
The former Zenit St Petersburg defender scored his first goal in more than a year, but insisted that it was rendered meaningless due to the result.
"It was nice to score a goal after so long without one but for me the most important thing is winning and we didn't do that," Skrtel said, as it was an own goal from him that saw Tottenham level matters.
"I might have scored but I can't be happy after that because we didn't get the result."
