"We had to work so hard to even get the ball," said Curbishley. "We could not get going and we gave the ball away as soon as we had it. That was much to do with the way Liverpool played and how they pressured us.
"Our away form suggests we are going to get beaten every time. Last season we were very good away from home, but I am becoming worried and we are just not doing as well away this season. Liverpool have played very well, they look formidable at home and a few sides will struggle at Anfield.
"We have now been beaten at Arsenal and Liverpool in successive away games and maybe that is not too bad, but we are also losing at places like Bolton and Manchester City and results like that have to change. We cannot hide behind things, this is not good enough.
"Liverpool asked us questions and we didn't have enough. That could be the same for a lot of clubs playing at Anfield this season. But we are just not giving ourselves a chance with our defence under pressure all the time. Our attitude away from home has to change. We need results and quickly. We have got to alter the way we approach away games because it is totally different.
"As for Liverpool, they are very good and they will be competing for everything they are in right to the death this season. This is a very impressive team now."
