Liverpool FC captain Virgil van Dijk had a not-glowing assessment of the team’s performance in the wake of a 2-1 defeat away at Wolves, to a 94-minute injury-time winner by André.
I think it’s down to ourselves. We were slow, we were predictable and sloppy in possession and wrong with decision-making. Obviously we didn’t concede chances, but if you perform like that then a result like this could be the result of that. That’s the fact and that’s disappointing from tonight.
When asked how this defeat changes Liverpool’s chances of securing a top-five finish and securing Champions League football next season, the Captain replied:
The whole season is not easy. It was always going to be an ups-and-downs season for multiple reasons. The league is strong and the league is demanding every three or four days and it’s a big battle.
We need everyone at their best and we need a big squad in this sense. We need results and in the last couple of weeks we had the results and today we didn’t. It says that we still have work to do and that’s pretty obvious and that’s what we should focus on.
Liverpool FC will play… Wolves next on Friday night, again at the Molineux, this time in FA Cup competition. Fingers crossed for a better result.
