The Merseyside team went down 2-1 against the Blues at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday, after conceding a two goal lead within 52 minutes. Even though Liverpool launched a spirited comeback in the final half-an-hour of the game, a 64th minute
strike from Andy Carroll proved to be in vain as they succumbed to their first defeat against the Blues in their last 5 meetings.
The Danish footballer revealed that he was crestfallen after their final defeat, simply because of the manner in which they responded in such a big game.
He told the reporters, “I really don’t know why we played as we did for the first 60 minutes. But we didn’t turn up and you cannot afford to do that in an FA Cup final.”
The 27-year old mentioned that even though any loss is difficult to take whenever he has played for Liverpool, he was thoroughly disappointed after the final as they offered no resistance to Chelsea in the opening sixty minutes.
The Reds will take on the Londoners yet again in a league match on Tuesday, in a bid to reclaim their eighth place in the table from Fulham, and also to narrow down the gap on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 to just a single point. They will play their final game of the season

Agger called upon his side to shrug aside the disappointment of their FA Cup loss, and stressed the need of finishing the season on a high by winning the next two games, in order to renew their battered confidence ahead of the next season.
He continued, “We have got two games left in the season and we have got to try and win them. That is how we will start to move forward. It is difficult right now to think about anything else. Can we challenge the top teams next season? Yes, of course. We
have moved forward a lot this season but right now the only feelings are of disappointment.”
