It’s now back to back defeats to Liverpool, but this one will be hard to take as they were undone by a set-piece in the final minutes of the extra time and clearly the Liverpool manager was unhappy about the way his team went down.
“They got a free-kick without a foul and we conceded a goal,” said Klopp. However, he only wanted to take the positives out of the game.
“Liverpool in this moment is not the most sunny. 2-0 in the lead [against Sunderland], manager in hospital, out of the FA Cup, but tomorrow when we get up the sun will shine. If we want, all together, we can take a lot of positive things out of this game.”
The defeat means that the Capital One Cup final is the only chance for Liverpool to pick up any silverware this season and their only focus will have to shift to the league where they are in a tough run to make it to the Europa League places.
