“As the champions we can’t be in the situation we are in right now. What are we going to do about it?

We’re going to try to turn it around and that’s the mentality everyone should have.” Van Dijk admitted there was anger in the dressing room but after the first of seven matches in 22 days he said this was no time to be turning on each other. “We have been through it together and won the league and everyone was part of it and happy and when you go through a tough time you have to stick together and not point fingers.

No, I’m going to go home and try to think how we can turn this around and hopefully that is what everyone is doing as well.” It is only a month since Van Dijk called a clear-the-air players’ meeting following the home defeat to Manchester United. “These things I don’t plan now but let’s see how I am when I think about it and hopefully the rest of the guys also think about how we can turn this around because I think the realisation is we are in a very difficult moment,” he said.
