Liverpool let a potential victory slip in Istanbul after edging ahead again between the 69th and 79th minutes, failing to close out a game they had looked close to winning.
On the overnight flight back from Istanbul there was disappointment at how the side failed to finish the contest after recent signs of genuine progress.
The visitors were on course for a fourth win in four in the competition but could not see the job through, leaving them open on the counter-attack in a manner that has become a recurring concern.
The frustrating part for Liverpool fans is that we all know what the problems are, one assessment ran. Liverpool don't have the ability to do that at the moment, and that is what is really frustrating.
The biggest issue for Liverpool, according to the coverage, is that this keeps happening: the team looking as if it can concede at any moment.
Kuyt, who wore 18 at Liverpool, said the club would remember the night for a long time. He added that the team had told each other to stick together and stay united. Although we are in a very difficult situation, we have a chance to bring another miracle in Istanbul, Kuyt said. If you get that miracle, things can change in a positive way.
