Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra had no complaints after their 2-0 defeat at Liverpool.
The French full-back was clearly frustrated when he spoke to MUTV at Anfield, and moreso at his own side than at referee Andre Marriner who booked Evra and Dimitar Berbatov and sent off Nemanja Vidic.
"The advice was to play our football but we didn't do that and I don't know why. Liverpool were aggressive but we didn't play and that's why it's so frustrating to lose," said Evra.
Evra dismissed the intense atmosphere as a possible reason for the defeat - "I'm always happy to play here, I'm not scared." And although he was less than impressed by the referee - "I don't understand why Carragher only got a yellow card for fouling Owen when I think he was the last man" - the focus of the full-back's angst was very close to home.
"I look more at the display of Manchester United and the display was poor today. Normally when United play we create at least five or six clear chances but we only had the one when Valencia hit the crossbar. It's not enough if you want to win against Liverpool.
"(Losing to Liverpool) is the most pain you can have when you play for United. There was a big silence in the dressing room afterwards and we will need a few days to recover from this big disappointment for us, for the staff, for the fans. Now I think we need to do what we did last year - win the league after losing to Liverpool. We also need to make sure we show the real United team at Old Trafford."
