Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is outraged by the behavior of the fans after the match of the 22nd round of the English Premier League against Burnley (1:1).

“Disappointment is the word that definitely comes to mind. It’s a reality, we need support. I don’t like being booed by my own fans,” van Dijk admitted.

The draw continued a disappointing run, with Liverpool failing to beat any of the three teams promoted from the lower division at home for the first time since the 1980/81 season (previously draws with Sunderland and Leeds). The loss of points pushed the Merseysiders away from the championship leaders.

However, there is good news for the fans of the Reds: Mohamed Salah will return to the team in the coming days. The Egyptian, who finished fourth at the Africa Cup of Nations, is set to bolster the team’s attack ahead of crucial trips to Marseille and Bournemouth.
