Liverpool manager Arne Slot said the team's 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion "hurts a lot" and acknowledged that his side's performance this season has fallen short of expectations.
The Liverpool boss admitted his team's form this season has not been good enough, according to reports.
The defeat represents a setback for Liverpool, who suffered the loss at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion in what proved to be a disappointing result for the Merseyside club.
Slot, who took over as Liverpool manager, has been tasked with maintaining the club's high standards following their recent successes in both domestic and European competitions.
Liverpool Football Club, based at Anfield, has historically been one of England's most successful clubs, having won numerous Premier League titles and European trophies. Brighton & Hove Albion, meanwhile, have established themselves as a competitive Premier League side in recent seasons.
The 2-1 scoreline suggests a closely contested match between the two Premier League sides, with Brighton managing to secure all three points against Liverpool.
