It’s a big deal if you take a lot more chances, like in the summer. It can be a bumpy road but I didn’t see losing four consecutive games.Van Dijk echoed Roy Keane’s criticism by admitting that he, his team and himself need to examine ourselves. Keane pointed at Van Dijk as the culprit for the Champions’ defensive issues following their loss at Manchester United on Sunday. Van Dijk, the skipper of Liverpool, was left searching for answers after a nine-game streak without a cleansheet. We didn’t have a clean-sheet for nine matches! It is easy to point the finger at a specific person, or the backline, or set-pieces. It’s ultimately a team effort. All of us, including myself, have to look into the mirror. I am confident we will overcome this.”But we will not do it by just talking about it. We will improve. We need to be together, we need support. We need those who celebrated with us last Christmas to be there with us even more this year. We can win this game because we are both offensively and defensively strong.Keith Andrews, Bees manager, said: “We were aware that it would be a tough game and we are really happy with the way we displayed our character and personality.It’s the second time in a week that we have conceded just before halftime, but our start to the second half has been excellent. The clubs are very happy to have beaten the Premier League champions.”Join Mirror’s new WhatsApp community to receive your daily dose. Football content.
