Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has insisted his squad will not “fall apart” as their troubled form continued with an FA Cup defeat to Brighton.

The Seagulls sealed their second victory over Liverpool in as many weeks on Sunday, while a 92nd-minute winner from Kaoru Mitoma sealed a 2-1 win that propelled Klopp’s side out of the FA Cup.

Now out of both domestic cups, ninth in the Premier League and a fixture with Real Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool’s campaign is in danger of collapsing, but Klopp has been adamant the Reds will not give up.

“We had our moments again,” he told the press after the game. “We are making great strides, but we have to improve. “You have to respect what [Brighton] is doing, it’s really good. There were steps in the right direction. From there we have to move on.

“We will try. We have to build. Body language – a few guys did much better. We couldn’t have won the last game here, but today nobody would be surprised if we had won.

“We’re not going to fall apart, I can tell you that. If it looks like that, I’m sorry. It’s not that we parted ways late, it was frustration – players get yellow cards, it happens.” “After coming back from the break for the World Cup, we wanted to give it a try. So far it hasn’t gone well. But it just means that we have to keep working. We had some very good performances today.

“I’m not thrilled with this performance overall. But this was much better. Two weeks ago it was awful.

“I 100% understand when people say we are not happy with the match. I feel sorry for the Liverpool fans. We paid back a little today but we are still out and this is the worst result of the match.”

Speaking to beIN Sports, Klopp confirmed he doesn’t expect any new signings to help his cause. “Nothing will happen in this transfer window, that’s all,” he said.

Luis Diaz completes Anfield move

A year ago, Liverpool completed the signing of FC Porto winger Luis Diaz.

After a late chase from Tottenham Hotspur to the Colombian, Reds officials – led by Julian Ward – moved quickly to deal with the Portuguese giants.

Diaz would make his debut against Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup, wasting no time in making a name for himself on Merseyside by overcoming Takumi Minamino minutes after coming on.

In 38 appearances for the Reds, Diaz has so far had 10 goals and six assists. Not bad Luis.

,How come?’ – National media reaction to Liverpool’s FA Cup exit at Brighton

Liverpool faltered after Brighton’s FA Cup exit on Sunday.

The Reds suffered a 2-1 defeat at the Amex Stadium as their cup defense ended in the fourth round. Harvey Elliott opened the scoring but goals from Lewis Dunk and Kaoru Mitoma put Liverpool out of contention.

Jurgen Klopp’s side only have the Champions League and Premier League left to compete for the rest of the season. Next up for Liverpool this weekend is an away game against Wolves in the league.

Many national media were present to follow Liverpool’s defeat on the south coast. Here is a summary of what they had to say.

“Liverpool are sick of the sight of Brighton. You’ll be sick of this season too. “Things are going from bad to worse for the club who were on the verge of clear trophies last season.

“Just two weeks after a 3-0 penalty here at Amex in the Premier League, Liverpool were once again knocked out by brilliant Brighton as they exited the FA Cup.

“How did it come to this? Jurgen Klopp needs answers as Liverpool’s season is unraveling before his eyes.

Now all he has left is the Champions League and a top four finish. “The way they are playing it is highly unlikely that either challenge will be successful.

“Their defeat here at Brighton is the latest disappointment in a burgeoning run of crushing lows this season.”

“Just when Jurgen Klopp thought things couldn’t get any worse for his Liverpool and especially here on the south coast. They last played Brighton two weeks ago, the 3-0 Premier League defeat, to paraphrase the manager , an all-time low Klopp couldn’t recall a worse performance, Liverpool’s traumatic season suffered one of its deepest cuts.

“It was a big reason why this FA Cup match was so important. And yet, in a position of strength, a goal for the good of Harvey Elliott, they were overtaken by a Brighton team who invent new superlatives every week.

“Lewis Dunk made it 1-1 before half-time and it was Brighton who carried on in the final 20 minutes of the second half, feeling the vulnerability of a Liverpool side who had been just that for much of the season.

“It looked like Liverpool would hold their own. Alisson had thwarted the superb Solly March from close range, the rebound coming from the Brighton winger and missing, while Ibrahima Konaté had thrown himself into a block to clear Evan Ferguson away. .

“Liverpool got away with a few, not the least of which was a challenge from Konaté to Alexis Mac Allister that looked like a last-man foul. Konaté already had a reservation after going through Ferguson’s back. Fabinho, who came on as a substitute, did the same to the 18-year-old striker, who was clearly forced into anguish: he allegedly left the stadium on crutches; Fabinho was lucky to see yellow instead of red, while Andy Robertson was booked in stoppage time for a nasty hit on Mac Allister.

How Brighton made him pay. From the free kick, Pervis Estupiñán – in the space behind the far post – cleared the ball back and after the substitute, Deniz Undav challenged Robertson and served to clear him, there was Kaoru Mitoma in the far space beyond the post. different message”.

“Kaoru Mitoma is not the kind of footballer who seeks the limelight. On an off day, the Japanese striker can be found far more often at home on the sofa, analyzing videos of his performances than in the trendy neighborhoods of Brighton. “And even when he does venture out, Mitoma isn’t the best-known character. With his slight build and floppy bangs, he usually goes unnoticed. Well, he has so far – and that will change. definitely soon.
