Liverpool defender Dan Agger says there's no point looking for hard-luck stories after their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents Lyon.

Agger, who is easing his way back into action following back surgery, insists they must rediscover their killer instinct soon.

"Now we have just got to look forward to the Birmingham game to get going. If we keep playing with the effort we did in Lyon, we hope the situation will turn for us."

Twice in successive Champions League games against Lyon, Liverpool have conceded damaging late goals, with Lisandro Lopez's equaliser on Wednesday coming with only 20 seconds of normal time left on the clock.

Agger continued: "It is always so difficult to accept when you lose two points in the manner we did so late in a game.
