Liverpool’s Captain, Virgil van Dijk, is upset at some – if not many – of his teammates for their 2-0 ambition-shattering loss to Everton on Wednesday.
Bemoaning the loss, he said they should search their consciences to see what they contributed to the let-down.
“Very disappointed in so many ways and I think everyone has to look in the mirror look at their own performances, did they give everything and do they really want to win the league?” he said.
“Obviously there are still games after tonight, but if we play like we did tonight, we have no chance to win the title.
“It’s a tough one and obviously we have to do much better against a side that is playing against relegation
As Reuters/NAN reports, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in a pulsating 2-0 home victory over Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.
The result could prove to be the death of the visitors’ withering Premier League title hopes.
Everton’s first derby victory at Goodison Park in more than 13 years prevented Liverpool from climbing level with Arsenal at the top of the league table.
Juergen Klopp’s men are three points behind the Gunners (77) with four games to play.
Holders Manchester City remain in the driver’s seat on 73 points but with two games in hand, while Everton’s victory has them breathing easier, eight points above the relegation zone in 16th.
