JAMIE CARRAGHER today claimed Liverpool's spirited second half showing at Old Trafford points to a bright future - as he held his hands up to the goal that cost them a point.[LNB]Though the Reds vice-captain was content with the way the Reds acquitted themselves for long periods of yesterday's tussle with Manchester United, his positive mood was significantly tempered by events in the final six minutes.[LNB]He failed to get high enough as he leapt with Dimitar Berbatov for John O'Shea's cross and was distraught that the Bulgarian was able to complete his hat-trick and give United a 3-2 win.[LNB]But while it will take time for the wounds to heal, Carragher is confident Liverpool will start to climb the table at speed if they can reproduce the passing and industry they showed after the break.[LNB] 'Any time you lose a big game, you are always bitterly disappointed,' said Carragher.[LNB]'To come back from two goals down was a fantastic effort from the lads but I thought we did well for the 90 minutes.[LNB]'We were not really asked too many questions and there are not too many teams who can say that after going to Old Trafford.[LNB]'If you look at the goals they scored, it was a similar in a way to what happened at Manchester City.[LNB]'Pepe (Reina) hasn't really had a lot to do yet we have still ended up conceding three times.[LNB]'The first was poor from a set piece, you have to hold your hands up and say the second from Berbatov was world class; he is capable of that.
