The Reds were knocked out by the Clarets after an own goal from Djimi Traore gave them a one-goal victory in the rearranged fixture.

"If you are in four competitions you need to use your squad," insisted Benitez after the game. "Maybe we don't have the squad for four competitions.

"When you lose it's always bad news but the boys tried until the end. We have three competitions left and the only thing we can do is work harder.

"We conceded the goal from a big mistake, in the six yard box you need to clear the ball," he added.

"But we need to learn from these things. It's important to have experience and in the future we need to do the right things."
