But it just means we have to keep working. "We have to build. The Seagulls have outclassed many visitors to the Amex this season, but none more so than under-fire Liverpool. "After we came back from the World Cup break we wanted to go for it. "We will not fall apart, I can tell you. In the table we stay in sixth. Last game here we couldn't have won, but this today nobody would be surprised if we had won. "If we don't lose Caicedo we are ready to fight for Europe," he added. We make steps but we have to improve. "This was a different team to the last game. To become a great team you have to win this game. The result is important but the performance also.

It's magic from Mitoma as Albion beat Liverpool again (Brighton & Hove Albion)

WInger strikes in stoppage time in 2-1 win that puts Albion into fifth round of the FA Cup.

Pervis Estupinan lobbed it to the back post and Mitoma brought the ball under control, flicked it inside Joe Gomez and volleyed it into the roof of the net. As both sides went for it Fabinho’s crude tackle on Ferguson earned him a booking and the teenager limped off and was replaced by Deniz Undav. March met it but Alisson made a superb block and the ball ricocheted off the wideman and wide. Mitoma was the creator, funnelling a cross with the outside of his boot into the six yard box. A corner was half-cleared to Lamptey 30 yards out and Dunk diverted his shot through a crowd of players past the wrong-footed Alisson. But it was Liverpool who broke the deadlock in controversial fashion on the half-hour.

We will see the best solution for him and for us.” Milner then channelled his inner Alexander-Arnold with a fine cross from deep for Salah, who was unable to get a shot away despite finding himself a yard of space inside the Brighton area. “We hope he stays with us until the end of the season.

With 11 minutes left in this FA Cup fourth-round tie and the score 1-1 Jürgen Klopp could be seen racing out to the touchline, yanking the snood from his ...

And that was pretty much that for Liverpool, who never really looked like winning this game in the second half. The main negative was a lack of any obvious understanding the rest of the time. Klopp will feel it was poor defending, poor cover, sleepiness in the centre. The main positive here for Liverpool was the odd flicker of synergy between the front three. He glides, he skates, he dusts the ground. The Amex Stadium was a grey chilly place at kick off, with a low nautical drizzle creeping in under its swooping plastic eaves. On the other hand, this does not look like a team poised to mount an irresistible surge. Brighton would go on to win the game, deservedly, with a brilliant goal a minute and half into stoppage time. There has been talk of tired players, of the shadows of last season’s ghost quadruple, of recruitment mistakes made, of Klopp losing his magic dust. Elliott made a wonderful run through the centre as Salah scurried down the right. At the final whistle Klopp hugged Roberto De Zerbi and hand-slapped the Brighton bench. It was beautifully taken by Karou Mitoma, a footballer who is basically made of feathers, dandelion spurs and some kind of super-light high-tensile alien metal.

Jürgen Klopp's verdict on Brighton 2-1 Liverpool (Liverpool FC)

Jürgen Klopp saw some encouraging signs from Liverpool's display in the 2-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion but determined it not good enough to progress ...

In the end, one goal is deflected and one is in the 92nd minute, so that's a bad piece of the truth as well. We have to build on these kind of things, we have to improve, we have to do better, body language with a couple of boys has to be much better, defending in the formation has to be better from a few. You should not forget that, but we are still out and that's obviously the worst outcome of a game you can have. But we are obviously in a situation where we constantly want to make the final step, and that’s why it feels now especially bad in this moment because it didn't happen. If we are in a better situation, 10 points more in the league and stuff like this and then you lose here at Brighton, you just say, 'Respect.' What they do is really good. We closed these gaps for the majority of the time, but then all of a sudden not that well anymore. You never hear a manager sitting in a situation like this, 'By the way, we change that and then you will see against Wolves.' It doesn’t go like this and that’s why we keep working 100 per cent. We make steps but we have to improve, we have to improve further on and that's what we will do. But there were, again, steps in the right direction – you can imagine nobody wants to hear that anymore, I cannot hear it anymore, but it's still right. Obviously for Darwin it’s a bit more tricky to do all these kind of things, he is not used to it, and we have to really work a lot with him to involve him in these moments. We came here to go through to the next round, with the game a couple of weeks ago in mind, which was pretty much rock-bottom of the performances we had in my time [here]. We pretty much closed the gaps where they passed through last time, but around set-pieces that doesn't help, so you have to do different stuff, so twice we were not close enough to avoid the goal.
