Last updated : 09 December 2002 By Gary Purvis

"The game where it was most difficult for us to accept defeat was Middlesbrough," said thr Liverpool boss.

"We controlled their attacking movement without being in danger and then one incident in the game gave three points to the opposition.

"There is a dynamic and a momentum going on that gets broken and sometimes the players start to think they can't win any more.

"All teams go through a difficult point in their season and hopefully this is ours."
