'I'm not a quitter' - Captain Virgil van Dijk serves up emotional interview as Liverpool hit rock bottom
""We were not good in terms of battles, challenges, the fight, too rushed. It's a very difficult situation at the moment. There was nervousness after we conceded, but not before. We tried to rush things and that's human when you're in a difficult moment. We don't get out of it by just speaking about it. It will take a lot of hard work.""
""It's a problem. Everyone in the team has to take responsibility as well. Football is a team and everyone has to take responsibility. We have to digest this and take it on the chin. We need to work harder. We have to keep going. Everyone is disappointed, like they should be, because losing at home to Nottingham Forest is, in my eyes, very bad. That's the least I can say about it.""
Murillo, Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White scored to give Nottingham Forest a win at Anfield. Liverpool slipped to 11th, severely damaging the champions' title defence. Anfield began to empty before full-time as frustrations grew among supporters. The goals included a set-piece and were conceded from situations judged too easy, with poor battles, challenges and rushed play contributing. The team faces a difficult situation that requires collective responsibility, hard work and resilience. Fans leaving before full-time were noted alongside recognition of long-standing supporter loyalty. The club acknowledged a downbeat mood and accepted there were no excuses for the performance.
