Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers offered no excuses for their defeat to Crystal Palace.
The Reds blew an early lead to lose 3-1.
"It was bitterly disappointing," the manager reflected at his post-match press conference. "It was nowhere near the level that we would expect. We started the game as you would want, but I think you saw a team low on confidence today.
"We're not quite together as a team, which is what we pride our work on. We need to find a solution very quickly because it was very disappointing. It's my responsibility as the manager, ultimately.
"I picked the team and put the team out there, and I pick the best team I think can win us the game. We made a good start, but as you can see our passing was a bit tentative and then we made mistakes.
"We made mistakes that you would not expect to see at this level for a team that wants to be challenging. We go 1-0 up and then we fail to manage the game. Overall, there's that intensity and togetherness that's not quite there in our game. When you don't get the results, that is affected."
