Virgil van Dijk spoke after our 2-0 win over Brighton, and his words focused less on momentum and more on how we respond when things are not perfect. The Liverpool captain was speaking via BBC Sport after Arne Slot's side followed a Champions League win away at Inter Milan with a second clean sheet of the week at Anfield. Much of the focus post-match centred on Ibou Konate, who has faced criticism at points this season but delivered a dominant performance against the Seagulls. "Everyone at his best helps the team " that's why it's a team sport," Van Dijk said.Ibou is a fantastic defender. "When the team is not performing as a collective then obviously we as the last line could be…...

The English defender will enter the final six months of his deal in January, and his future remains shrouded in a cloud of doubt.

1+ hour, 43+ min ago (354+ words) The derby day defeat to Sunderland was bad enough but Newcastle United fans have had to endure some pretty brutal digs after the game. Newcastle United had hoped to put Sunderland back in their place after a season that has so far seen the Black Cats sitting above the Magpies in the table.

It leaves Newcastle now four points behind their bitter rivals and spoils the four-game unbeaten run they had going in the league. Obviously, a derby day defeat will sting. But, for Newcastle fans, the little things Sunderland…...
