Steven Gerrard admitted he and his teammates failed to live up to their usual
Champions League standards in the 1-1 draw against Porto on Tuesday night.
However, the skipper warned the club's Group A rivals to expect a totally different proposition in the remaining five games.
Gerrard told
Liverpoolfc.tv: "A point away from home in the
Champions League is a good result but we're disappointed with the way we played. We didn't start well and never really recovered.
"We've built a successful team in Europe on starting well, making it difficult for the opposition, being good in possession and very good on the counter attack. All these things never went well here.
"We've got to two finals in the past three years but we never reached those standards this time.
"Having said that, before the game maybe we would have taken a point because Porto are a good side with really dangerous attacking players.
"But they can expect a different
Liverpool at Anfield, and if we can take four points off them it will stand us in good stead in the group stages."
Gerrard made his 80th European appearance for the Reds on Tuesday night, but the 27-year-old was not in celebratory mood come the final whistle.
"Stats like that are always good, but the team has come here to win so I'm disappointed," he added.
