“There were a lot of moments, especially in the first half, where we needed to score the second and third goals and maybe the game could be completely different.

“There were two or three moments in the second half where we weren't precise enough, we lost 50-50 duels and were perhaps a little affected by the atmosphere.

“It’s so important to experience and learn these things in order to get the result you deserve in the end.”

Asked how Brighton could address the Anfield crowd problem, Hurzeler added: “We can solve this by calling Jürgen (Klopp) and asking him!”

“It's a hard moment, I've only experienced it on TV before, but now I've experienced it myself. These are the little details.

“Be loud, great atmosphere, maybe a wild environment, in these exact moments you have to stay calm and still play from the back. They were the solutions and we couldn't find them in the second half.

“Then Liverpool’s dominance became greater and they had more crosses from outside the penalty area. They didn't have much chance, overall we defended pretty well, but we have to take responsibility for not playing as precisely with the courage we showed in the first half.”

A much-changed Liverpool had beaten Brighton in the fourth round of the League Cup on Wednesday evening.

And about the second defeat in a row against the Reds, Hurzeler said: “The performance was good, but we are a club with ambitions and we have to get results from games like this.”

“It's the third bad experience in a week, we gave away a 2-0 lead against Wolves, we played a very good game against Liverpool at the Carabao and again today, but it's three games and only one point. “

“We could have been more ruthless, but we also needed more luck. If you want to win at Anfield you need a bit of luck and if you saw the cross for their first goal then luck was on your side. You also need a referee to give you 50:50 duels, and we didn't have that in the second half
