Van Dijk Calls Nottingham Defeat Very Tough

"Liverpool" captain Virgil van Dijk shared his thoughts after his team's 3-0 defeat at home against Nottingham Forest. "We are conceding goals too easily.

The opponent scored again from a set-piece. Whether Alisson was disturbed or not is something that can be debated.

But the goal was allowed, and we were trailing 1-0. In duels, in fighting and being aggressive, we weren't strong enough; we rushed too much.

It's a very tough situation. After conceding the goal, we started to feel nervous, and impatience crept into our game.

This is a difficult period. We need to fix this not just with words but with a lot of hard work.

This is a serious problem. Every player needs to take responsibility because football is a team sport.

We need to accept this defeat and learn from it. We have to work even harder.

Everyone is upset, and that’s a natural reaction. Losing at home to Nottingham Forest is a very poor result.

This is the mildest thing I can say about it," said van Dijk in his post-match interview. Currently, "Liverpool" sits in 11th place in the English Premier League standings.
