Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says it's only right to be frustrated after Sunday's 0-0 draw with Manchester United.

Van Dijk discussed the result in his match programme notes for tonight's Carabao Cup quarterfinal against West Ham.

He wrote: “It says a lot about the standards that we have set for ourselves – not just in this season, but in most of the ones before – that we can draw a game against Manchester United, maintaining our unbeaten home run in the process, and the main feeling is disappointment.

“This is not something I would ever want to change, though. Keeping high standards and always looking to be better is part and parcel of playing for a club like Liverpool. If we deliver once, we have to deliver twice. Win one game and the first question is what do we have to do to win the next? I wouldn't have it any other way.

“Yes, this brings pressure, but pressure is something that we can and do thrive upon. Some of our best moments this season have come when the pressure has been at its highest. So with the games coming thick and fast and every opponent bringing a fresh challenge, we have to do everything we can to make the most of every single fixture.

“Again, this is what being a Liverpool player is all about."
