Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has spoken about the team's defensive inconsistency this season, with the Reds managing only four clean sheets in their opening matches. The Dutch defender acknowledged the need for improvement at the back as Liverpool aim to tighten their defensive record in the Premier League.
Van Dijk's comments come after a series of matches where Liverpool have conceded goals despite creating numerous attacking opportunities. The center-back emphasized that defensive solidity is a collective responsibility requiring better organization and concentration from the entire team.
The four clean sheets represent a below-par return for a side that has historically prided itself on defensive resilience under manager Arne Slot. Van Dijk indicated that the squad is working on tactical adjustments during training sessions to address the vulnerabilities that opponents have exploited.
