Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk didn’t hold back as he questioned his team’s commitment to winning the Premier League following a demoralizing defeat against Merseyside rivals Everton.
In a scathing assessment, he told Sky Sports,
Do they really want to win the league?”
Van Dijk’s frustration was evident as he lamented the team’s lack of effort and desire, He told Sky Sports
If you play like today we have no chance to consider ourselves in the title race.
Very disappointed in so many ways. Everyone has to look in the mirror and look at their own performance and think if they gave everything.
If you play like this overall in the game and not win any challenges and give the referee an opportunity to give a free-kick away then we have no chance to win the title.
It is a tough one and obviously we have to do better against a side near the relegation [positions].

Get on with it, that’s part of your job,…..
Liverpool team should be wanting, to be on the pitch tomorrow morning to get the next game going, because when you lose, especially in a derby, you want the next game to come quick
