Virgil van Dijk Tells Liverpool Fans To Be Patient After Leicester Draw

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has urged supporters to remain "very patient" with the team after Wednesday's 1-1 Premier League draw against Leicester City.

The Reds missed the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to seven points, and after the match, Van Dijk spoke about the tension in the crowd being transmitted to the players, per Sky Sports:

"Obviously you get that feeling from the crowd and I think it's not really necessary at the moment. But obviously everyone wants to win so bad and that's what we want as well, but sometimes you need to be very patient.
