VIRGIL VAN DIJK admitted Liverpool's form is a "problem" after the Reds suffered their heaviest home defeat in almost five years.

Defeat to Nottingham Forest was Liverpool's sixth league defeat in seven matches and leaves their Premier League title defence in tatters.

Van Dijk said: "We're in a very difficult moment. We don't get out of it by just speaking about it. It will take a lot of hard work.

"It's a problem. Everyone in the team has to take responsibility as well. Football is a team and everyone has to take responsibility.
