Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish admits their Europa League elimination by Braga left him frustrated.
The exit is all the more galling after Liverpool's stunning win over Manchester United.
"It is frustrating when you can beat a team like Manchester United and then not get past Braga but I suppose every team has their frustrations," said the 60-year-old.
"Results are unpredictable for every club. For us we did beat Manchester United at Anfield but we never gloated or dwelt on it, we took the three points enjoyed the moment and then moved on.
"The two games since then we lost away to a penalty in Braga and we drew 0-0 here.
"We could have done with a bit of luck, especially at home, but that is the way football is.
"I don't think Braga, with all due respect to them, are in the same class as Manchester United but they never conceded a goal and we never scored so over two legs, and if you don't score, you are not going to win many games are you?
"They tried as much as they could, ran as hard as much as they could but it never happened.
"We have always tried to encourage and instruct and direct in the right way and I don't think we will change that.
"I don't know how you can change it. The players are there and they have to be helped, but sometimes we make mistakes as well.
"We have to make the minimum amount of mistakes as we can and the players have to as well and we will all work together and see where it takes us at the end of the day."
