Jurgen Klopp appears to call out Virgil van Dijk following Liverpool s latest defeat

While Van Dijk has undoubtedly been an incredible player for Liverpool during his time at the heart of Klopp's defense, his performances have declined this term. The defender missed several huge chances to equalize for his team against bottom club Nottingham Forest on Saturday (22 October) as they lost 1-0. The Liverpool boss struggled to hide his frustration after the game, as he told BT Sport (per ): "The performance I can explain, the result not, to be honest. I never saw that game where one team has, not sure, four or five no-brainers from a set-piece where we have to finish it off, we were perfectly prepared for that." "Bobby [Firmino] first-half, Virgil two times, three times, you have to put the game to bed because the goal from us is a big mistake. Apart from that, all the chances we gave them because we played too often wrong passes in the centre. It happened anyway." Klopp added: "They closed the centre so much, so the wings was possible, it will not be a free-flowing performance, we knew that with the late changes and a lot of changes. It's a game you have to win by doing the right stuff again and again and we didn't. That’s why we stood here and haven’t won the game."Virgil van Dijk probably should've just headed the football into the goal, in hindsight.Virgil van Dijk probably should've just headed the football into the goal, in hindsight.
