Rodolfo Borrell admitted to feeling a sense of relief after seeing his side come from behind to salvage a late draw against Wolfsburg.
An own goal from Marvin Kleihs, who inadvertently sliced the ball into the Kop net after superb approach play from Krisztian Adorjan, was enough to see the young Reds gain a 1-1 draw in their second NextGen Series outing.
While pleased to see his side get a point, Borrell was far from satisfied with the overall display.
"We are grateful to get a draw but overall I was disappointed with our performance," Borrell told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"We were below par. I thought we were sloppy, especially in the first half. We improved in the second half but we need to work hard every day to keep on improving.
"The only positive for me from the night was we didn't lose the game and we need to be much better when we travel to Wolfsburg next week."
The Reds almost won the game right at the end when substitute Adam Morgan found himself clear but he was closed down quickly as the effort went wide.
"I thought Adam was going to score because he is a good goalscorer. It was a good chance but these things happen," he added.
Defender Stephen Sama added: "We made a big mistake for their goal but I thought we came back strongly in the second half.
"The manager wasn't happy with our first half performance and he told us to believe in ourselves more in the second half. I thought we did that and in the end we are happy to get the 1-1 draw."
