Virgil van Dijk reveals how Liverpool dressing room feel as Watford end Invincibles charge

Virgil van Dijk has claimed that Liverpool were not thinking of becoming Invincibles as they lost 3-0 at Watford. It’s a defeat that ends their hopes of matching Arsenal’s feat achieved in 2003/04, but the Reds are still within touching distance of the title.

Speaking after the game, the Dutchman claimed that talk of finishing the season unbeaten was only being driven in the media.

“Credit to Watford, they played well, a lot of fight, very disciplined and scored three goals – that’s the reality, we couldn’t find a way through. It was difficult and we have to do better,” he said.

“Two throw-ins… we have to look at it, there is no reason for panic. We don’t want to concede, we look at it but we don’t have to panic.

“The record and the talk of the records is all media, we just try to win every game ahead of us.

“We will focus on the next game, the cup game, and we try to win there. We have to stay humble and work harder next game.”

“We need to improve, it’s a tough one to take.

“If you conceded three goals we have to improve as a team and we will.

“Losing hurts, the records are only for the media we didn’t mention it once, we keep going. We want to win the next game in the FA Cup and then in the league against Bournemouth – I mean, that’s the only way forward.

“The whole season we haven’t lost a game like this. They did very, very well and we should have done better – we want to strike back straight away.”
