Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool's chances of qualifying for the Champions League lies only with them.
The Reds were beaten 2-1 at home by Crystal Palace on Sunday which saw them miss an opportunity to stay six points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United.
The defeat now has them only three points ahead while United have two games in hand, making it a tricky situation.
But after a disappointment such as the loss to Palace, having squandered a lead, manager Klopp is not about to throw in the towel.
"I'm pretty much used to nothing more in my life than to get up after a knock," said Klopp.
"Nothing has happened more often to me than this, so that's no problem. I spoke to the boys after the game and told them that yes, it feels frustrating, it's disappointing, we made these mistakes – that's all true and we have to feel it today because that's how defeats are. But they make sense, defeats always make sense.
"You don't like it but there's a reason for them – not only what you did in the game, but also how you react after the game.
"We have tomorrow morning's training [session] and then one-and-a-half days to recover from this – and we will. Then, there is one month to go; one wonderful football month with four games, so we will not give up. 100 per cent not.
"You could see it today, we all need to get used to it much more than we already are – in a game like this, there is not the biggest possible excitement most of the time, but nobody cares usually. Obviously we [do] care; I could see it in a few faces, I could hear it a little bit from outside.
"The boys have delivered a lot of this excitement, but now it's really about serious football. Do what you have to do – and we will do. We tried to do it today, but two times they gave us an answer we didn't want."
Regarding Liverpool's Champions League hopes, Klopp added: "I've said it now five or six times, I know a lot of people around think now 'Oh my god, Champions League slips through our fingers again'… only if we let it slip.
"We have to try everything, we will try everything. Our job is to squeeze everything out of this season that we can squeeze. Obviously it is not easy for us, but that's no surprise."
Former Reds striker Christian Benteke scored twice for the visiting Eagles after Philippe Coutinho had opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick in the fist half at Anfield.
