It definitely feels like a loss at this point.”We were wasteful with our chances and we gave them a lifeline.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8010903##However, that was not the end of VVD’s criticism…”Unfortunately, individual mistakes can happen in the game, but we still had so much time to put it right but we were in a rush. We were losing too many balls and too many challenges in midfield,” said Van Dijk.Old Trafford remains Klopp’s theatre of horrors, Liverpool not a leader anymoreAsked whether the result – which leaves Arsenal at the top – felt self-inflicted, he said:”Yes, 100 per cent. It feels like the FA Cup game again.”I think the first half was better because we created chances and we limited their chances. But we know that one moment can change the game if we don’t finish (the chances) off and that’s the disappointing part. We should’ve won today but the reality is that we didn’t. Now we have to make it up in all the other games.”
