Jurgen Kloop has expressed his disappointment over Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton Hove and Albion in their FA Cup fourth round game.
The result means that the reds have won just one of their last six games-a testament to their struggling form.
Speaking to BBC after the game, the German tactician said their performance was below par, saying conceding two goals from set- pieces wasn’t acceptable.
“We came here after a game a few weeks ago when we weren’t even close to ourselves’.
‘Today we played a better game but we concede two goals from set-pieces and that is not allowed in any way.’
Analysing the match further, Kloop noted that Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t get the support he needed at the right flank- thus leaving him with many troubles with Mitoma.
“On the left side Robbo was ok because we helped him but on the other side Trent didn’t get the support’, he said.
‘Mitoma is really good so, of course, it was tough. We could have defended both goals better. The first is deflected but we can probably block the shot.
‘It doesn’t feel great. In time we might see the positives but we wanted to get the next round. Congratulations to Brighton.’
Liverpool will now face Wolves in their next league game at the weekend before the Merseyside derby against Everton the following week
