Kop captain Van Dijk insists Reds need big European reaction to losing run

- Paul GORST

VIRGIL van Dijk admits Liverpool have no hiding place after a run of four straight defeats.

And the Liverpool skipper warned they cannot allow themselves to wallow in what is now the worst run for 11 years.

A 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon condemned Arne Slot (right) and his Premier League champions to a fourth successive defeat.

Liverpool have not been on a run as bad since November 2014 under Brendan Rodgers.

A fifth defeat in a row, at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League tomorrow night, could equal an unwanted record that was set in the 1950s.

Analyse

Van Dijk accepts the players must stand up and muster a response in Germany this week.

"We will analyse everything that happened but I’ve mentioned it many times, the focus now is on the Champions League," Van Dijk said.
