Jurgen Klopp appeared to dig out Virgil van Dijk in the wake of Liverpool 's shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The Reds were stunned at the City ground after their former striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, bagged the only goal of the tightly-contested game to end Liverpool's resurgent run of form. The flat performance from Klopp's side left supporters frustrated, but Van Dijk still had three separate chances to salvage a point late in the game from set pieces.
Instead, the Dutch defender fluffed his lines each time and came in for criticism from Klopp post-match alongside teammate Roberto Firmino, who squandered less opportunities. "The performance I can explain, the result not to be honest," the Reds boss admitted to BT Sport. "I never saw that game where one team has, not sure, four or five no brainers from a set-piece where we have to finish it off, we were perfectly prepared for that.
