Defensively, Liverpool's performance has been below par this season and they have managed to keep a clean sheet in only five outings out of the 18 games they have played thus far. Against Wolves, the Reds conceded from a corner, an issue that continues to trouble the Premier League giants this season.
On being unable to defend properly against set-pieces this season, an upset Van Dijk said: "We have defended so many set-pieces very well. But the fact is we've conceded too many goals like that and it hurts. We have to improve that. It's about repetition, training, analysing..... it's something we have to improve. I'd say at least 75 per cent of the time - or even more - it's not even about the first contact, it's the second phase that is the killer."
