Liverpool fans think it's time for uncomfortable conversation about one player after Wolves defeat

Liverpool fans all took aim at the same player following their crushing defeat to Wolves.

Liverpool resumed their Premier League campaign on Tuesday following their 5-2 victory over West Ham United last Saturday.

The Reds played before the likes of Manchester United, Aston Villa and Chelsea as they look to secure a top four finish to qualify for the Champions League.

But Arne Slot's side failed to close the gap on their rivals following their bruising 2-1 defeat at Molineux.

Wolves opened the scoring in the second-half after Rodrigo Gomes raced onto Tolu Arokodare's pass.

Gomes squeezed his shot past Alisson despite Ibrahima Konate's efforts.

Mohamed Salah drew level just five minutes later, but the visitors succumbed to the hosts' late pressure.

In the 94th minute, Andre's deflected strike secured a dramatic victory for Wolves.

Liverpool's performance against Wolves angered their fanbase as supporters singled out Virgil van Dijk for his involvement in Gomes' goal.

He was easily beaten in an aerial duel against Arokodare, who brushed off the towering Dutch defender.

Van Dijk protested the decision but a foul wasn't given as Wolves went onto score.

His role in Wolves' opening goal didn't go down well among Liverpool fans online.

One X user wrote: "For a guy who wins most his aerial duels, Van Dijk gets beaten way too easily here in the air."

A second said: "Really poor from Van Dijk and Konate. Pathetically too easy."

A third commented: "Virgil Van Disney at it again."

Liverpool stay on 48 points following their 2-1 defeat.

They will drop to sixth if Chelsea beat Aston Villa on Wednesday.

As it happens, Liverpool return to Molineux on Friday for their FA Cup fifth round tie before resuming their Champions League campaign against Galatasaray on March 10.

Slot's team return to league action on March 15 when they host Tottenham.
