- Captain says team have problems at both ends of pitch
- Klopp bemoans body language in FA Cup exit at Brighton
Andy Robertson admitted that things had gone from bad to worse for Liverpool since the turn of the year with their FA Cup defeat at Brighton on Sunday the latest setback. The captain said Liverpool had problems at both ends of the pitch as they lost for the third time in 2023 – with Jürgen Klopp, the manager, bemoaning the negative body language of some of his players.
The performance was better than in the 3-0 defeat at Brighton two weeks previously but it was still not good enough, the winger Kaoru Mitoma popping up in stoppage-time to score a stunning winner. Liverpool, the FA Cup holders, are out of both domestic cups and lag ninth in the league. They face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.
