Andy Robertson has admitted that Liverpool’s performances so far this season have not been “good enough” and that their performances since the turn of the year have been worse.
The Reds were knocked out of the FA Cup today after Brighton beat them 2-1 on the south coast, their second Amex defeat in just two weeks after Jurgen Klopp’s side were also beaten 3-0 in the Premier League at the beginning of this year. month.
“We were more competitive than two weeks ago, but that didn’t take long,” said the Scotland international (quoted by Express). “We created opportunities and we were more compact, but at the end of the day we are out of the cup and that is difficult to accept.
“At a club like Liverpool, the fans expect a lot and losing on the last kick is disappointing. We have to start winning games. It’s easy to say but harder to fix.

“This season has not been good enough. At the turn of the year we wanted a new beginning, we have not been, if anything we have been worse. In the league, we have not been good enough and now we are out of both cups.”
Our No. 26 also had trouble explaining what the main reason for the lackluster displays is.
Many supporters will claim that Klopp’s midfield is what is letting the team down at the moment, but the performances across the pitch have been far from good enough.
The full-back also admitted that he feels sorry for the fans who once again flocked to Brighton and stated that trust between the team must be restored as soon as possible.
The former Hull City man added: “You can’t point to one thing, it’s more than that. You can tell that we don’t have that much confidence in front of goal and in defense we are a bit open.
“We had two clean sheets today, but then we conceded two goals. We need to regain confidence, it’s easier said than done, and that’s how we’ll get results.
“We have to do it fast and we are not. That doesn’t help the fans, I feel sorry for them and the way we’re putting on a show. We let them down again.”
Next up for the Merseysiders is a trip to Molineux to face Wolves on Saturday before hosting neighbors Everton at Anfield on February 13.
