Liverpool have improved in the last two weeks but still need to get better, manager Juergen Klopp said after the FA Cup holders were knocked out of the competition by Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
The defeat followed Liverpool's exit from the League Cup in the last 16 and underlined their poor form this season, with Klopp's team currently ninth in the Premier League at the halfway stage. "Look, I am not over the moon about this performance but, again, the only thing that happened really is that we lost against a good side, who we lost two weeks ago in a horrendous game," he added.
Klopp said his team had closed the gaps for the greater part of the game but were guilty of conceding from set pieces as Brighton came from behind to beat the six-times European winners.
