Virgil van Dijk has spoken out on Liverpool's performance following their 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Forest took the lead after a VAR check at Anfield in the 33rd minute from an Eliiot Anderson corner, which was met by Murillo, before Nicolò Savona scored the second goal less than a minute after the start of the second half.
The battering continued for Liverpool as Morgan Gibbs-White netted a third to seal the win.
Fans were seen flocking to the exits of Anfield before the final whistle was blown.
Speaking on the supporters, Van Dijk said: "I can't decide obviously what the supporters are doing. If they leave early, obviously I can understand the frustration fully.
"But I know the fans have been through thick and thin with us over all those years and that's how Liverpool is. I'm pretty sure that they will always stick with us regardless. And when we come out of this - because we will come out of this - they will be there with us as well."
Liverpool have won just three of their last 11 games across all competitions as Arne Slot struggles to find a solution to their mounting issues.
Speaking on why Liverpool are on bad form in recent fixtures, the Liverpool captain said: "We concede too many easy goals. I think in the first half an hour we were good, created good opportunities."

He added: "They scored obviously from a set-piece again; you can ask yourself if he was in front of Alisson, but it counted so you're 1-0 down.
"I think overall we were just not good in terms of the battles, the challenges, the second-ball fight. Too rushed. It's a very, very difficult situation at the moment. It was a tough day.
"There is nervousness after we conceded but not during that particular moment. You sense that you want to rush things after we conceded, trying to find the equaliser as soon as possible.
"That's human when you're in a difficult moment. I don't think there is nervousness before a set-piece, we cleared the ones before.
"In the end, obviously we're just in a very, very difficult moment and we have to get out of this."

Speaking on the squad as a whole, Van Dijk concluded: "Obviously everyone is disappointed, like they should be, because losing at home against Nottingham Forest is, in my eyes, very bad. That's the least I can say about it.
"Especially the second half, the goals we conceded [were] far too easy. It's something we all have to look in the mirror and take responsibility for.
"I've been in this club for such a long time now, we have been through ups and downs already and we will bounce back.
"But these things don't happen overnight, you have to work and do it together. It's not a one-man show, it's all together. Keep going.
"But the reality is we are in a very difficult moment and we all want to get out of that. I'm not a quitter, no-one should be, so I will keep going until the end."
