Liverpool once again let valuable points slip away this Tuesday on the lawn of Nottingham Forest (2-2) in the Premier League. Already at the beginning of January, the Reds had been held in check against Manchester United (2-2) who had not been very successful this season.
Currently, the Liverpool team, with a match in hand, has a lead of six points over Nottingham Forest, its provisional runner-up, and seven over Arsenal, third. But this margin could start to melt in the event of a victory for the Gunners this Wednesday against Tottenham.
Van Dijk confident for the future
Despite a decline in the Reds’ performance, after an impressive start to the season, Virgil Van Dijk was keen to defend Liverpool’s away record in the league, with only three wins in seven away games. Note that Arne Slot’s team remains, for the moment, the best at home (7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss) and away (7 wins, 2 draws) in the English elite.
“So, are we in crisis now? The result at Forest only confirms that the Premier League is a very difficult championship where you play against opponents who are very good,” assured the Dutch defender.
“Forest have always been a tough opponent, as have (Manchester) United at home, with their new manager and the game plan they have shown, especially against the bigger teams, we have seen that before. »
Van Dijk is aware that Liverpool struggled to get into their match at the City Ground, but he was optimistic about the performance in the second half: “We have to find a way to win and I think if we play like we did in the second half and we keep fighting, trying to find chances, I’m very confident we will score goals as we have done all season. I think we’ve been very, very good this season. We have to keep working and fighting and if we play like we did in the second half today and take our chances we will be fine. We will continue. »
