Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers found positives in their 2-2 draw at Champions League opponents Ludogorets.
Goalkeeper Simon Mignolet's blunder allowed Dani Abalo to score in the third minute but Rickie Lambert's second in as many games and a Jordan Henderson strike turned things around before the break only for Georgi Terziev to nick an equaliser at the death.
The late goal meant little to the Reds' requirements as they would still have to had to beat Basle whatever the outcome on Wednesday night after the Swiss lost to Real Madrid.
"We are frustrated but we needed to come here and put in a performance which would give us encouragement going forward and also to have a result which would allow us to still qualify from the group and we've had both of them," he said.
"The reaction to going behind was magnificent. Of course we are frustrated because we had defended very well but we've come away with a point.
"It was always going to be a very close group. We have had a good result and should have won the game and now it is all in our hands and I can't ask any more than that.
"I am happy to rely on us to play at Anfield in front of our own supporters in the final game."
