"I said over the last months the same thing: We can't build on a good performance. That is something that has to change if we are to achieve what we are trying to achieve, and that is Champions League football."
"It's down to us and so we have to do it as players, as a group. If we change that, then obviously we can be a very dangerous force, but at the moment, we are not."
"The team's staggering inconsistency is perhaps the most frustrating part of its 2025-26 campaign. One day the Reds will show last season's quality and topple teams with a swagger fitting for the 20-time English champions, and then the next, they'll look lost, uncreative and vulnerable at the back."
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk emphasized the need for the team to build on good performances to secure Champions League football. The team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton, ending March without a Premier League win. Liverpool's inconsistent form has left them in fifth place, just one point ahead of Chelsea. Factors contributing to their struggles include injuries, underperforming signings, and Mohamed Salah's poor form. Van Dijk highlighted the importance of players taking responsibility to change their current trajectory.
