"I personally don't think it's a foul, the Reds icon said on TNT Sports. I think he's [Van Dijk] got to be a lot stronger in that situation. I also think that Konate could have bailed him out of trouble. You are clutching at straws asking for a foul there. You are up against a big strong sub who has come off the bench."
"For 65 minutes, Liverpool were desperate tonight and really poor. They didn't create enough, they didn't play at the right speed or the right tempo. They didn't have enough quality."
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in a dramatic match. Rodrigo Gomes scored first for Wolves against the run of play, with Mohamed Salah quickly equalizing for Liverpool with his first league goal since November 1. Andre then secured victory with a stoppage-time winner, deflecting off Joe Gomez. Liverpool protested that Van Dijk was fouled in the build-up to Wolves' opening goal, but analysis suggested Van Dijk needed to be stronger physically. The performance was criticized as slow, predictable, and sloppy for much of the match, with Liverpool lacking creativity and playing at insufficient tempo and quality.
