Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has offered a blunt assessment of the season, even after a morale-boosting Merseyside derby win over Everton at the weekend. "We've got five more games left against teams that are also fighting for the Champions League spots. Every game is a big one. We are very disappointed as a whole for the season that we're having, because of the quality we have. It's below standard," the defender remarked. "But we have to keep fighting, keep going, and make the best out of this poor season we're having... [The situation] is definitely not Liverpool-worthy, but it is the reality, and it was important we got the win. I'm glad we did."
