When Jarell Quansah howlers, Virgil van Dijk responds, revealing his real colours.

Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool has encouraged his youthful defensive teammate Jarell Quansah to recover from his Sunday afternoon error away at Manchester United.

Jarell Quansah, a teammate of Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk, has been told not to focus on the error that cost Manchester United a goal on Sunday.

When the two titans of the Premier League squared up at Old Trafford, Jurgen Klopp’s team knew that victory over their bitter rivals would propel them to the top. The best Liverpool could muster, though, was a 2-2 tie in which the lead alternated, with the Reds taking an early 1-0 lead courtesy of a Luis Diaz goal.

After two incredible goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo turned the tie around, a late penalty kick from Mohamed Salah made sure the points were shared. A Quansah mistake led to United’s opening goal, which saw their captain rifle one home from just inside the Liverpool half.

The former member of the Anfield academy made a careless sideways ball that let Fernandes beat custodian Caoimhin Kelleher. Nevertheless, in his post-match media obligations, Van Dijk emphasised that Quansah cannot be held accountable for Liverpool’s pointlessness.

“He shouldn’t,” the Dutchman responded when asked if Quansah will be affected by his error in an interview with BBC MOTD. Everyone who plays football makes mistakes; the only thing you can do is learn from them.

Van Dijk continued by talking about how Liverpool is feeling following what they evidently believe to be a two-point loss. “It feels like a loss, and it’s our fault again,” he continued.

“We ought to win the game because we had so many opportunities. Regretfully, we rushed to correct the individual error that occurred with the equaliser even though we had plenty of time to do so. Even so, despite behind 2-1, we produced a lot.”

Actually, Liverpool might have vanished from view prior to the blowing of the half-time siren. To Klopp’s annoyance, both Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai hurried at opportunities and wasted fantastic ones.

Van Dijk acknowledged that his team ought to have had a bigger lead at halftime. The captain of the Reds said: “We should have been 2-0 up at least, but in football unfortunately if these things don’t happen you give them the feeling they could come back and it happened.”

Due to the outcome, Liverpool is currently tied for second place in the table with league leaders Arsenal despite having a much lower goal differential than the Gunners. Manchester City, who is only one point behind both, is breathing down their necks in third place.

The Liverpool pair must play carefully in their next three games or risk missing two games.

The Liverpool pair must play carefully in their next three games or risk missing two games.

During a crucial period of the season, two Liverpool players could be suspended before the Premier League expunges their records once more.

According to Premier League regulations, a player receives two match bans in the same league if they receive 10 bookings in their first 32 Premier League games. Yellow cards do not transfer to domestic cup tournaments.

But for the latter stretch of the run-in, the players’ slates will be cleared following the 32nd gameweek.

There are still three games left until that amnesty, so two Liverpool players will need to be extra careful how they behave in the next games.

The suspension risk for Liverpool

With squad availability already being such a problem for Jurgen Klopp this season, Wataru Endo and Darwin Nunez are the players most at risk of receiving an unwelcome ban after receiving eight yellow cards between them for the season.

Before they may unwind a little, the two must prevent receiving two more yellow cards apiece in the games against Crystal Palace (14/4), Manchester United (7/4) and Sheffield United (4/4).

Depending on when it is acquired, a two-game suspension might mean that one or both of them miss the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on 24/4.

This season, both players have emerged as essential members of Jurgen Klopp’s squad: Nunez has established himself as the go-to central attacker when healthy, while Endo has surprised everyone by becoming the unwavering pillar in midfield.

The Uruguayan has not received a booking in any of his previous four league games, maybe demonstrating self-control in an effort to avoid getting suspended. Though Endo has only received three in his previous six, yellow cards are more of a workplace risk for defensive midfielders.

Although Liverpool supporters are anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the 32nd gameweek, positive news regarding the team’s returning stars is imminent.

On Wednesday, Klopp disclosed that four players—Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Stefan Bajcetic—are getting close to rejoining the club
