Manchester United manager David Moyes suggests he is a more determined figure following the weekend's 1-0 loss to Newcastle United.
The reigning Premier League champions dropped their second game in a row at Old Trafford to fall to ninth on the domestic table ahead of Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Moyes' United side are top of Group A of Europe's premier club competition but the Scotsman admits he needs the players to start performing more consistently in England's top flight.
"[Losing to Newcastle] raised my spirits," Moyes said. "[The result] made me more determined.
"I take complete responsibility for the results. They've been good in the Champions League but not so good in the Premier League. I would like them to be much better, and I've got no doubt they will.
"It is tough because we expect to win all the games. We have been inconsistent at times and we have played very well in some of the games in the Champions League, not so well in the Premier League, albeit we have lacked a little bit of good fortune at times.
"I think there is a bit of everything that could with better, we'd like to pass it better, we'd like to create more chances, we'd like to defend better when those situations arise, it's all round we'd like to improve. It's only a few weeks ago we were talking very well about the team."
