We have to change that."That's how we want to do it. We want to be there and be on top of the table.

It's not been an easy start for us but we're doing better and getting the points."Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk agreed with his teammate's assessment of how the game panned out after half-time.Wirtz celebrates his goal with Hugo Ekitike(Image: AFP or licensors)"Unfortunately, we conceded the goal quite early on [in the second half], and that gives them a big boost and some momentum for them to crack on," Van Dijk said."I think we played a very, very good first half and [scored] two good goals. [In] possession we were good, defensively we were solid and [had] no problems."Obviously, they would come out with a lot more pressure [in the second half], and we have to try and do the same things, which [is what] we said at half-time."Unfortunately, we couldn't do that, but obviously that's also part of how Wolves did that. Overall, we found a way and that is key, especially in the season and in the moment where we are and where we have a lot of injuries and players missing."It's not an excuse for the second half, but obviously it's good that we got the win and that's very important."
