Virgil van Dijk's reaction
We worked so hard to get back into the game and then conceded a very sloppy second goal. That’s the disappointing part. If you look at the game overall we were far too rushed, making rash decisions at times, and we were too open when we lost the ball.
We still created many opportunities to score and win the game. But the reality is that we lost. It’s an interesting time now and we have to stick together – not only us as players, but together with our fans and everyone who wants us to win.
[What do Liverpool need to do to get back on track?] First and foremost stay humble, keep working and try to keep your confidence as high as possible. It’s about staying very calm. We’re coming off a season when everything was positive and we became champions; when things get tough it’s important to keep that mentality of being there for each other. It’s still a long season.
It’s easy to get dragged into a negative spiral. You have to put things in perspective – we’re in October. But the reality is we want to turn it round asap.
