Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp offered no excuses after their 2-0 defeat at Everton.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goals gave Everton a first Merseyside derby win in 14 years.
Klopp later said: "Nothing more to say about this tonight, we conceded two goals from set pieces and we know it is one of their strengths.
"The second one is a routine they use all season. It makes no sense. I thought we found a way into the game and pushed them back, created massive chances and didn't use one of them. We conceded a second goal then and we lost momentum. We couldn't turn it around, it just wasn't good enough. That is the truth."
On the lack of goals, he said: "I'm responsible for that and I know that, I feel that. I've never been able to put the ball over the line in my life. I'm not angry about that. It's crazy the amount of chances we have created in the last four games. There's room for improvement."
On the title race, he concluded: "I don't know about Everton's achievement, I thought they would be safe after that but Sean Dyche knows them better. We need them to lose games and historically they don't do that. Arsenal didn't look very weak last night. We have to play better, that is it. We need points. We are not safe in the Champions League. Tottenham have played a lot of games less than us."
