Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk delivered a brutally honest assessment of the team's current crisis in an exclusive post-match statement, following a damaging 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield .
It was another difficult evening for Arne Slot's side as Liverpool fell behind through Murillo's opener, before second-half strikes from Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White sealed all three points for Forest. The result compounds a worrying slide in form, leaving Liverpool searching for answers after a string of sub-par performances.
Softfootball earlier understood that Van Dijk had taken full responsibility for the humiliating 3-0 loss to Manchester City , vowing the team would respond strongly. Instead, Liverpool produced another flat display, raising even more concern within the squad and fanbase.
