Virgil Van Dijk commented on Liverpool's defeat to Nottingham Forest

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk commented on the team's performance after their 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League's 12th round home match.

"We conceded too many easy goals. We were really good in the first half hour, creating some great chances. Then they scored again from a free kick. You might wonder if he was standing in front of Alisson, but the goal counted. Ultimately, we just weren't good enough. In the fight, in the one-on-ones, we were too hasty. It's a very difficult situation now. It's a difficult day."

After conceding a goal, you get nervous. It was obvious that we were in a hurry, trying to equalize as quickly as possible. We are in a really difficult situation, and we need to get out of it. I prefer to talk about this in the locker room, not here with you. We have to take responsibility. Football is a team game.

"We have to overcome this, accept the blow and work harder. I have said this many times this season, it is not going well, but we have to continue. In my opinion, the atmosphere is very bad. We have to look in the mirror," Van Dijk was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.

Let us remind you that Liverpool is in 11th place in the Premier League.
