Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has warned his teammates that their current defensive form is not sustainable. This comes following a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahce, and fans have been reacting.
Questioning the team’s concentration and tactical discipline under pressure, VVD stated that switching off at the back will keep costing the team points if Liverpool does not improve defensively.
Admitting that he was angry after the UCL loss, Van Dijk added that he had to keep his emotions in check to support the dressing room.
His words, “It’s definitely not sustainable. That’s why it’s a very disappointing night for many reasons, but definitely because of the goals we conceded and the manner we conceded them as well. There is work to do.
Three set-pieces as well. We have been very good at them so far this season, but we switched off and weren’t ready for the first and second balls. It’s a tough one to take.
I mentioned after the last game against Arsenal that we as a group have to go through good moments but also lesser good moments.
That will only form a bigger bond and it will be only beneficial. No-one wants to lose games, especially how we did, but it should only help us in the near future. We should not accept losing, especially in the manner we did.”
