Liverpool fullback Alexander-Arnold: FA Cup replay chance to bounce back after unacceptable Brighton performance

Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold says their FA Cup replay tomorrow at Wolves offer them the ideal chance to bounce back.

Alexander-Arnold admits defeat at Brighton was "unacceptable".

He told liverpoolfc.com: "I suppose if you try to put a positive spin on things then it's something we can use as motivation.

"We don't want anything like this to happen again and we need to bounce back – that's something that is a given at this point now. We need to bounce back in the next one."

On the Brighton game, Alexander-Arnold continued: "It's not what we wanted as a team and it just wasn't good enough, if I'm honest, in any area of the pitch – all areas, to be honest. It wasn't good enough.

"Credit to Brighton, they're a top team and they played outstandingly well. So, they deserved the three points and we didn't.

"I think there were a lot of things wrong fundamentally and we got a lot of things wrong out there. Not many positives, if any, to take from this game, but we go back and look at what went wrong and make sure something like this doesn't happen again because, like I said, this was completely unacceptable."
