The Reds have now slumped to 12th on the league table after the weekend thumping.
The result was seen as a bit of a shock considering the Merseyside outfit had been on a good run of form, losing only once in 11 and winning three consecutive games in all competitions.
Johnson believes it is vital that they put the defeat behind them and focus on their next match against Fulham at Anfield.
"Any game you lose is disappointing. I think we were lacking a bit of tempo. It was difficult and it was just one of those games," the 28-year-old told the Liverpool Echo.
"It was a great opportunity to pick up three more points and we missed out. We have to put this behind us. It's gone now and there's nothing we can do about it.
"We have a lot of games coming up and we have to look to put things right next weekend."
The England international thought his side were in the ascendancy in the early stages of the match, and that their profligacy cost them.
"Early on we had so much of the ball and dominated the game. They went in front completely against the run of play," he added.
"When we were 1-0 down, we still had a big chance as there was plenty of time left in the game. But the second goal before half-time left us with a lot to do.
"You can say we needed to pass the ball that bit quicker, but sometimes it's difficult to play too quick because you have so much room. When you're in loads of room then you are supposed to move into that space.
"When the opposition are so compact around the edge of the box then your little passes have to be perfect.
"When you have a day like we did when your passing isn't perfect, that makes it very difficult to break them down."
