Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is supremely confident his captain Steven Gerrard will swiftly recover from his crucial mistake in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
The star midfielder slipped at the critical moment when Mamadou Sakho was passing him the ball in stoppage time of the first half at Anfield, allowing Demba Ba to pounce on the error and steal in for the game's opening goal.
It was an uncustomary error from Gerrard, which was noted by Rodgers, who feels the England skipper will bounce back just as he has always done throughout his career.
"Steven is a boy who has picked up this club so many times and it was just really unfortunate because he slipped at a crucial moment and it was right on half-time," Rodgers said.
"He was doing everything he possibly could and we hoped there would be one or two who would step up to the plate instead of him, but we couldn't quite do that.
"There's certainly no blame because we are in the position we are in now because of him; he's been instrumental for us this season.
"It's just unfortunate that he's slipped over. It could have happened to anyone. This is a guy that is so strong mentally.
"He probably got frustrated but I thought he showed his courage because after that he still kept getting on the football, he still tried to pass; at times, he broke through and broke the line to get in.
"But he and our other attacking threats just couldn't quite make the breakthrough. Give credit to Chelsea for that; they sat in really deep."
