All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook page“There was a lot at stake, that was pretty obvious, so we had to show how much we wanted it together with our fans, who played a big part," said Van Dijk."I played last week in Istanbul and saw how big an impact their fans had on their performance and it was clear to see our fans played a big part in our performance. We could have scored more goals but their goalkeeper still had a very good game in my opinion."It’s a combination of performance and the fans, they play a big part in that.

It is about doing it together."This season as players we take full responsibility for a lot of performances when we have not been good enough. "In all these years at Liverpool I’ve never ever questioned them (the fans) and I still don’t."There is a reason why there is frustration this season because we had an amazing season last year; we became champions, we had consistent, good football, finding ways to win, and this season we have had so many ups and downs dealing with difficult moments and there has been frustration because we want to perform every three or four days as well."Van Dijk is adamant Liverpool have shown glimpses of the quality shown against Galatasaray this season but admits the issue has been the lack of consistency and struggle to back up such performances.The Reds have won only four of nine previous Premier League games immediately after a Champions League match this campaign and face a quick turnaround when they travel to Brighton on Saturday for the early kick-off."I think occasionally we have been showing and playing good games but not consistently and on a regular basis and it’s been frustrating for all of us and for the fans as well," said the Liverpool skipper.

We have been having good performances this season and we haven’t been able to build on it the next time."It is very hard but that’s the hardest thing in life, doing it each and every three or four days. It’s not about an individual, it’s not about one or two players, we go through the same things all of us each and every day, difficult moments especially this season, good moments, and we have to deal with everything together because we need each other."He played a good performance in the first half but missed a penalty unfortunately, which is part of the game and some people might judge him differently.
