Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said he was disappointed to leave Man City with just a point after their 2-2 draw.
The Reds have been accused of not rising to the occasion but were full of attacking verve at the Etihad and were unlucky not to win.
Rodgers said: "We're disappointed. It probably typified our season as a whole. We have played really well in a lot of games and mistakes have cost us.
"I don't want to overshadow what was a brilliant performance. It's a game we should win, we showed great character to come back and then we went in front and we should have gone on to win it."
The former Swansea boss also said Daniel Sturridge's equalizer to make it 1-1 was a 'perfectly good goal' after City protested that they should have been awarded a free-kick in the build up.
He added: "It's a perfectly good goal. If you watch both players get tangled as the centre half tries to nick in front of Dzeko and wins the ball.
"The referee clearly deems it not a free-kick and the game plays on. It's literally about a minute later that we get the goal. There was enough time for Manchester City to get organized and get back in the game.
"My players were only doing what the referee asked of them which was that there was no free-kick and obviously it got us back in the game."
