Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists his side do not have any issues with attitude or character.
The Reds lost 4-3 to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday despite leading 3-1 as late as the 76th minute.
Asked if he has concerns about the character of his players, the German said: "No. We have no attitude problem. We have no character problem.
"Nobody is born as a winner; it's not in the first few months of your life that you are a winner, you need to learn it.
"We came from position nine last year and there was a lot of criticism, a manager change, blah, blah, blah, and now we try to be much better. In all these ways, it's always clear something like this can happen.
"You don't like it, but you know it already before – but when it happens, it still feels bad. I would say you know about the problems in life, it's easier to handle them – I knew that it could happen, now it has happened and now we have to deal with it."
