West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine was left frustrated by defeat at Liverpool.
The Baggies lost 2-1 after pegging back the Reds after halftime.
Irvine thought his side deserved a draw.
"I was a bit disappointed in the way we used the ball in the first half, I felt we needed to show a little but more self-belief and courage when we were in possession," he said.
"The goal just before half-time was disappointing because it changes the mood in the stadium.
"I challenged the players to show more courage with the ball and I felt as if we did that in the second half.
"We really took the game to Liverpool for large periods and my biggest fear was we'd get done on the counter-attack - and when you come to Anfield it is not something you expect to say too often."
