Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish feels his side has simply not recorded the points they have deserved in the Premier League this season.
The Reds remained eighth on the table after the weekend's 1-0 home loss to West Bromwich Albion but after that match, Dalglish felt his side were harshly marked for a good performance which he suggests has been the case all season.
"But it is hard and it is great credit to the players they keep persevering and pushing on.
"We are not trying to say we are happy with what has gone on but there is nothing drastically wrong with what we have done - we have just not got the points we have deserved.
"You can say the result was not right but you cannot say it was a bad performance.
"It may sound repetitive but it is pretty accurate. We wouldn't use it as an excuse.
"We just have to keep going, take another blow on the chin and come out again.""You don't create the opportunities we created and the panic we created if we are not doing something right," he said.
