Virgil van Dijk admits Liverpool were guilty of giving up during their harrowing FA Cup quarter-final humiliation at Manchester City - and are not showing the "togetherness" needed to salvage their season.

The Reds suffered their worst defeat of Arne Slot's reign when they were thumped 4-0 at the Etihad in the latest setback of a sorry campaign in which they have now lost 15 times - the most in one term since 2014/15 when they were beaten on 18 occasions.

Having started well against City, Liverpool shipped four goals inside a 20-minute period either side of half-time in which their lack of intensity was ruthlessly exposed.

Slot's side now face the onerous task of picking themselves up for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg at holders Paris Saint-Germain, who dumped the Reds out of the competition last season.
