Van Dijk Accepts Responsibility For Liverpool's Poor Form

Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has accepted responsibility for the team's poor start to the 2022-23 season.

The Reds have struggled for form at the early stage of the season, winning only two out of six Premier League games.

Van Dijk and his teammates suffered a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Napoli in their first Champions League game of the season.

The former Celtic defender has been criticised for his poor performances this season.

"If we do well, I obviously get praise, and if we don't, then I don't," said Van Dijk.

"But I still think I need to improve, and that's fine."

The Dutch defender has revealed that the only way to improve is to learn from the mistakes.

"The only way to do it is to play the games, learn from the mistakes, don't listen to the outside world too much, and speak to the people close to you.

"I've said it many times, we are all human beings, and we all want to do as well as we can, and the same goes for me.

"I know for a fact I can do much better, but we all can do better.

"I feel very hurt if we concede goals and don't keep clean sheets, and I feel that responsibility, but that's a good thing.

Liverpool needed a late goal from defender Joel Matip to beat Ajax 2-1 in their second Champions League match on Tuesday.
