Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has called for his team mates to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to at home to Aston Villa.
The Reds went into this fixture winning their previous three matches but were put to the sword by an inform Aston Villa side who are now unbeaten in five, but Johnson wants his side to focus on next weekend's clash with Fulham.
"Any game you lose is disappointing. I think we were lacking a bit of tempo. It was difficult and it was just one of those games," Johnson told the Liverpool Echo.
"It was a great opportunity to pick up three more points and we missed out. We have to put this behind us. It's gone now and there's nothing we can do about it.
"We have a lot of games coming up and we have to look to put things right next weekend."
Johnson was disappointed to taste defeat after making an impressive start to the game, "Early on we had so much of the ball and dominated the game. They went in front completely against the run of play.
"When we were 1-0 down, we still had a big chance as there was plenty of time left in the game. But the second goal before half-time left us with a lot to do.
"You can say we needed to pass the ball that bit quicker, but sometimes it's difficult to play too quick because you have so much room. When you're in loads of room then you are supposed to move into that space.
"When the opposition are so compact around the edge of the box then your little passes have to be perfect. When you have a day like we did when your passing isn't perfect, that makes it very difficult to break them down."
