Virgil van Dijk has said the current Liverpool team is still a work in progress.
Despite having to work under a new manager, Arne Slot, the Reds currently top the Premier League table.
The Merseyside club are six points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with a game in hand.
Sunday’s clash with struggling Manchester United saw Liverpool dropped two points after a pulsating 2-2 draw.
Speaking after the pulsating encounter, Van Dijk believes he and his teammates can do better to achieve their target.
“We’re still a work-in-progress,” he said.
“We can improve and we should improve if we want to achieve our goals and dreams that we have.
“But the only thing we have to focus on is what’s ahead of us. Today was a very tough one, we got a point and we move on.”
The Netherlands international expressed disappointment following the two goals conceded by Liverpool, labelling it unacceptable.
“Obviously I think if you don’t win it’s always an opportunity missed,” he explained.
“I think we have to be absolutely honest with each other: it could have been a lot worse, if the last chance goes in.
“[It was] a game with a lot of emotions, 1-0 down, obviously a great comeback going 2-1 up, then you have to control the game much better.
“We were still sloppier than we were, losing the ball in difficult situations, where we were more open.
“Then to concede the second one was very disappointing, how easy that went in.
“We have to take it on the chin and work hard, like we always have been doing throughout the whole season, and move onto the next one.”
