Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has debunked claims suggesting that there is unrest within the Reds squad.
Liverpool have struggled so far this season and are sixth in the Premier League. The Reds secured their first victory after five winless games in the league on Saturday as they sank Newcastle United 4-1.
In a chat with the club’s website, the Dutch international believes that there’s still togetherness among Arne Slot’s squad, despite the ‘obvious challenges’ that have come their way this season, both on and off the pitch.
“The matter of fact is we are Premier League champions, and we have not been good enough on a consistent basis.

“That’s just a fact. The criticism comes and that’s something we just have to accept. We just have to keep going. I don’t think there has been any question about (togetherness) internally.
“I don’t think there’s any disharmony. There are obviously challenges that happen and everyone is dealing with certain situations in a different way.
“It’s also about dealing with it together and how we are going to fix it and change things around. That’s something that makes you stronger as a team and if you come out of it like we should do – hopefully as we have the quality – then I think it can only improve you as a team and as a player as well.”
