The visitors, who travel to Tottenham for their next encounter, went down 1-0 to the Potters, with Jon Walters scoring the only goal of the game from the penalty spot after being felled by Carragher.
Liverpool threw a barrage of attacks at Stoke's defence, but the home side put in a resilient display in keeping them out, with Ryan Shawcross and Asmir Begovic particularly impressive.
"That's the Premier League and that's football, it's Stoke's day today," said vice-captain Carragher, despite having doubts over the penalty awarded against him.
"We can probably be pleased with the way we've performed but at the end of the day we've come away with nothing.
"They defended great. They do great their keeper and the back four. They've been like that for a long time, especially at home.
"And, being a defender myself, you can only admire how they did it, especially in the second half."
Carragher was reluctant to make a judgement on the accuracy of the penalty decision against him, but certainly feels Liverpool should have had one of their own.
He added: "I'd like to see it again but at the time I thought it was a little bit harsh. It may have been or it may not have been, I'll have to have a look at it.
"One has gone against us and the others haven't gone for us, so we feel a little bit aggrieved.
"It's a disappointing day but if we can play like that at Spurs hopefully we'll get something."
