Liverpool senior player James Milner says that the Reds need to keep pushing hard after the disappointing defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the FA cup tie.
The loss was a frustrating result for Jurgen Klopp’s side after losing to Burnley in the Premier League three days earlier.

James Milner was asked about the mood of the players after the game and he told the media, “Ultimately disappointment. It’s a cup game and the result is the only thing that matters in a cup game, so that’s disappointing.
“I think the boys can be proud of how they played. Disappointed to give away the goals we did, which could have been stopped.
“But we reacted better today to disappointments in the game, better than we have done in recent games, and I think that’s a positive for us going forward.”
When asked about the team’s confidence levels, the Milner added: “I think when you’ve been on the run we have in the last few years, winning game after game – at times maybe when we didn’t deserve to win – and things are going your way, everything is easy.
“And obviously when results aren’t going your way, things that went your way before don’t seem to. That’s what we have to keep pushing, keep working hard, reacting the right way to disappointments.
“I think the boys did well today; they worked hard up front, created some good chances and I thought some of the play in the final third was a lot better today, we carved out some good chances.
“Ultimately today is a cup game, but hopefully it’s the first step of us getting back on a good run.”
