“An unacceptable season”: Virgil van Dijk delivers a brutal assessment following another setback for Liverpool FC
“I’m not here to make excuses. It’s been a very disappointing season so far—one that’s simply unacceptable for us—and it’s tough,” said Florian Wirtz’s teammate.
“We shouldn’t feel sorry for ourselves,” van Dijk (34) emphasised. “We have to work hard, turn this around and make sure it doesn’t happen again next season, because that’s not Liverpool.”
Sunday’s loss was the defending champions’ 18th defeat this season in all competitions, hindering their push for Champions League qualification. Liverpool currently occupy fourth place in the Premier League, trailing United.
