Van Dijk Urges Composure After Boos as Liverpool Draw 0-0 With Leeds

Slot describes a constant battle, judging fourth place a fair return given defensive gains despite limited chance creation.

Overview

  • Liverpool were held to a goalless draw at Anfield, extending an eight-match unbeaten run as boos were heard at full-time.
  • Virgil van Dijk said he understands supporter frustration and stressed his comments were not an attack on fans.
  • The captain called for a quick reset before Sunday's trip to Fulham in London, noting the team must improve in the final third.
  • Liverpool managed only one effort on target in the second half, and it came from outside the box against Leeds' deep 5-4-1 shape.
  • Arne Slot said fourth place is fair at this stage, with the champions six points off third and 12 behind leaders, highlighting defensive solidity but a shortage of chances.
