Reds won't panic but must buck up, says van Dijk

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk called for improvement and an end to silly errors, after his side went down 1-0 at Galatasaray in the Champions League on Sept 30 and suffered the loss of goalkeeper Alisson Becker to injury.

The defeat was the Reds’ second in a row after the Premier League leaders lost their 100 per cent record at Crystal Palace on Sept 27.

“I hate losing. There shouldn't be panic, but there should be definitely improvement needed,” the Dutch centre-back said on Amazon Prime.

“I think it was a big step up in terms of the willingness, the hard work that we put in from the weekend, but that was not really too difficult because the weekend was just bad.

“We have to convert chances, don’t give a penalty away like today and don’t make stupid mistakes at times. It’s far too easy to say these things than to actually make it happen but it’s a process and we have to keep going.
