Jurgen Klopp defended an under-fire Liverpool after their 3-3 draw at Arsenal.
Goals either side of half time from Phiippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah were cancelled out by a five-minute onslaught that saw the Gunners take the lead.
Only a late Roberto Firmino strike salvaged a point for the Reds, who allowed themselves to be carved open by the hosts at the Emirates Stadium on Friday.
But Klopp rallied behind his side despite dropping two points from a winning position.
He said: “The second half was not worse [than the first], we scored the second one – a wonderful, individual goal.
“On the whole, we had more chances, so yes, of course it feels not too cool.
“We had five minutes where we were very often had obvious problems and individual problems – all the goals.
“It’s not in this case [about] the team defending.
“The first goal is why you should avoid crosses and of course when the ball is in the box it is at least 50-50, [but it was a] misjudgement obviously. [There was] misjudgement around the second goal.
“Third one, misjudgement – too deep, no offside, we let them go in the box and make it too easy.
“Then, after these five minutes, we reacted then much better and deserved in the end the point. It’s the minimum that we deserved tonight.
“The result is not what we wanted, but the performance for 89 minutes was what we wanted.
“We played 94 minutes [with added time] and the five minutes were very decisive tonight and difficult to explain, but good to learn from because we need to react differently.”
However the Liverpool manager also admitted that his team may need to be pragmatic in their approach in future.
“As individual players, we need to react differently in situations like this – you need to be much angrier than sad or disappointed,” he added.
“So we gave them [a chance], we opened the door for them in these five minutes and they, with all respect, took the chances.
“And then in this strange game, everybody probably thought first, ‘this is Liverpool’s night’ and then after these five minutes everybody thought ’now it’s Arsenal’s night’.
“Then we struck back and it’s point; usually if you go to Arsenal and get a point it is absolutely OK, we are not crazy that we cannot see that.
“But tonight it is different.”
