Liverpool have not had the best start to this campaign and Virgil van Dijk has been discussing what the Reds need to do to return to the impervious form of recent years.
Speaking to the club’s website, the 31-year-old said: “We’ve been doing it for four years, five years consistently and we have to get back to that consistency, all of us. And we have to stick together.
“You have to be in the moment and that consistency is the hardest part of football. You have to do that together, face setbacks together and keep doing the same things you want to do.”

Confidence and consistency are two words that get thrown around a lot in football but are also very hard to get back once they are lost in a team.
Jurgen Klopp himself said in his post-match press conference after Brighton that “momentum is the most fragile flower on the planet” and that seems like the perfect analogy.
Getting the entire team back to the performance levels we had in recent years will take a lot of soul searching and hard work.

Despite many observations and comments from experts and supporters alike, there has been no definitive answer to what is wrong with this campaign.
We need to make sure defensively and stop conceding goals, with our attackers providing more than enough firepower up top, and that will go a long way in helping to restore our form.
Our No.4 hopes he can help lead the team on a run of positive results and hopefully it starts with a win over the Rangers.
