Liverpool winger Stewart Downing revealed manager Kenny Dalglish wasn't upset after their defeat at Stoke City.
Downing feels they can take heart from a dominant display.
Downing told liverpoolfc.tv: "The manager said to us after the game to keep doing what we're doing.
"I don't think there was a lot wrong with our performance - we played quite well.
"Stoke is a difficult place to go, but at times we played some good football and cut through them.
"It was 'one of those days' and we couldn't hit the net, but hopefully we'll be able to do it at Tottenham next week. We've just got to keep doing the same things.
"We're frustrated, but it was positive that we were able to create chances, were still passing and moving, and trying to do the right things.
"We were unlucky, but we've just got to keep doing the same things."
