Rafa Benitez maintained a positive outlook following Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Everton at Anfield.
The Reds looked set to return to the top of the Premier League table when Steven Gerrard broke the deadlock midway through the second half.
Tim Cahill grabbed a dramatic late equaliser for the Toffees and Benitez admits it was frustrating not to hold on for three points.
"When you are at the top of the table and with three minutes left you are winning - then we have lost two points," he said.
"We were winning and had control of the second half and all of the possession.
"We had more control so I was confident we would score a second goal.
"But then we concede with three minutes to go."
Benitez nevertheless believes Liverpool should remain upbeat about their current situation as they are level on points with leaders Manchester United.
"It is disappointing for today, but we are in a good position," he added.
"You have to manage the press, but we are in a good position. We have qualified in the Champions League, we have a cup game next week (against Everton) and are top of the table. We must think only of the future.
"We are in a good situation so we have to be positive."
