In a third-round shock of sorts, League One Saints overcame top-flight opposition thanks to second-half goals from Lee Barnard and Guly Do Prado.
"I've always said I wanted Liverpool in the cup from day one," Adkins said.
"Blackpool have always been a bogey club for me so it is fantastic to break that bogey.
"Is it an upset? We made eight changes, we both utilised our squads. We should have scored more goals than we did.
"But our priority is trying to get ourselves into the next division and we have a massive game next against Oldham."
