Liverpool conceded a 90th-minute equalizer at Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday, missing out on a morale-boosting victory after being dumped out of the FA Cup by lowly Reading in midweek.
Robert Huth grabbed the late equalizer for Stoke after Sotirios Kyrgiakos had scrambled in his first goal for Liverpool in the 57th minute.
"It feels like a defeat," Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt said. "We aren't playing the best football at the moment but I thought we fought really hard for this result, and to concede in the last minute and even miss a great chance in the last minute is unbelievable."
Kuyt could have won the match in the final seconds of injury time, but headed against the post.
Liverpool, which remains seventh in the league, also conceded a late goal to Reading on Wednesday, forcing the FA Cup third-round replay into extra time when the second-tier club produced a winner.
"Confidence isn't very high at the moment," Kuyt said. "But we have to keep going and work really, really hard and come out of this as quickly as possible."
