Liverpool defender Van Dijk: No reason for panic, but...

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk urged calm after their thrashing at Watford.

It marked Liverpool's second defeat in a fortnight since their return from the winter break.

Van Dijk said: "Credit to Watford, they played well, a lot of fight, very disciplined and scored three goals - that's the reality, we couldn't find a way through. It was difficult and we have to do better.

"Two throw-ins... we have to look at it, there is no reason for panic. We don't want to concede, we look at it but we don't have to panic.

"The record and the talk of the records is all media, we just try to win every game ahead of us.

"We will focus on the next game, the cup game, and we try to win there. We have to stay humble and work harder next game."
