Virgil van Dijk slams Liverpool’s ‘very poor’ performance in shock loss at Wolves

• Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat against Wolves, the Premier League's bottom club, with the winning goal scored in the 94th minute.
• Defender Virgil van Dijk described Liverpool's performance on Tuesday night as “very poor” from the outset and acknowledged coach Arne Slot's anger was justified.
• Van Dijk criticised the team's slow and predictable play, poor decision-making, and the “chaotic” nature of the game's end.
• The loss meant Liverpool, who had won their previous four games, missed an opportunity to climb to third in the league.
• Van Dijk stressed that if the team fails to qualify for the Champions League, they will not merit a place among Europe's elite, and urged focus for another match against Wolves, this time in the FA Cup, on Friday.
