Brendan Rodgers insists Liverpool will recover from their Capital One
Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United by turning their focus on
attempting to embark on another strong run in the Barclays Premier
League.
Javier Hernandez's goal seconds after the restart proved
the difference at Old Trafford as the home side secured a 1-0 win in the
third-round tie but Rodgers says his players will soon be back to
winning ways.
Concentrate on the league
-The players have
made an excellent start. We were disappointed at the weekend, we were a
bit flat and subdued, and just couldn't really get going. Part of that
was because of the players we have available, but I know that the
players I have given absolutely everything, he told the clubs’ official
site.
-Now we can only concentrate on the league through to
Christmas. We have to make sure we stay up in the top six in the league
and keep fighting. Hopefully we can reinforce again in January.
Final pass let us down
On
Capital One Cup exit, Rodgers felt his charges enjoyed some good
moments in the contest and admitted he could not fault the efforts of
the visitors.
-I thought we had good spells in the game where we
got into real good areas and probably just the final pass let us down
and that final finish, but I've no qualms about the players' effort, I
thought they were brilliant in everything they gave to the game, he
noted.
Elimination from the Capital One Cup followed on from a
draw at Swansea City and last weekend's Anfield loss to Southampton
which shunned their unbeaten run.
