"We concede goals too easily," Rodgers said afterwards. "It's an area we have to work on. We were very good in the first half but we lost concentration and became lazy and found ourselves 3-1 down."
The result leaves Liverpool third in Group A, a point behind Udinese and Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala after two games, while Young Boys are pointless after losing their first two matches.
"It's still very tight and there are some excellent teams in our group," Rodgers added. "For us it's important to qualify of course, but it's also an opportunity to give some of our younger players a chance."
Meanwhile, Newcastle United,26.00to win the Europa League, are on course to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition after easing to a 3-0 victory against Bordeaux, while Spurs had to settle for a second successive draw following last month's stalemate with Lazio at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham drew 1-1 with Panathinaikos and are now15.00to win the Europa League.
