Loris Karius has apologised for costing Liverpool a point in their 4-3 defeat against Bournemouth last Sunday.
The German goalkeeper, a summer signing from Mainz, spilled a cross late in the game at the Vitality Stadium which Bournemouth's Nathan Ake pounced on and forced over the line.
Karius has since faced plenty of criticism but, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, he is sure he can bounce back and prove to be an asset for Jurgen Klopp's side.
He said: "It was my mistake, no doubt about it. I wanted to catch the ball and didn't.
"I think it looked a bit easier on TV than it was. The ball was flying weird and went by the side of Nathaniel Clyne so I didn't have much time.
"So it wasn't easy but I should have caught it and I don't need anybody to tell me it was bad... because I know. I am sorry that it cost us a point.
"I think sometimes people think we are like robots because we get paid good or whatever. They think we have no emotions or feelings, that we can never have a bad day.
"That's not how it works, we are still humans. We make mistakes. We have better days, worse days. The fact we get paid well doesn't really change that.
"It's always good to have support from the fans. It really helps the players. And it's right that they expect much."
