Virgil van Dijk speaks about Ibrahima Konate to BBC Radio Merseyside after Liverpool’s win at Wolves: “I think we need everyone to be at their best. He is a fantastic player who still can be better. As you saw, he is important with the goal, he is defensively solid, a bit unlucky with the goal we conceded, but obviously the qualities he has are outstanding in my opinion. He is learning, growing, getting better and looking after himself much better in order to be ready every three days as that’s what asked. And also we have a young player behind him in Jarrell, who is also doing well. We have to keep pushing each other and he is doing a good job.”

On the response to defeat against Nottingham Forest: “I don’t like to go back that far. I think we have a very good squad, a mix of experience and talent, players at a very good stage in their career. It’s good to see the way we play and defend. Especially if you saw in the last 10 minutes today how many times Mo was heading balls away, that’s the commitment we need from everyone.”
