\"\"Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk insists he was not being arrogant in dismissing Manchester United\u2019s overly defensive display at Anfield.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman provoked a response from former United midfielder Roy Keane when he said only one team played to win. Keane said the comments were arrogant and disrespectful, adding: \u201cHe needs a reminder himself; he\u2019s playing for a club that have won the title once in 30-odd years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Dijk insisted there was honesty but no arrogance in his words on a frustrating afternoon where Liverpool had 34 shots but failed to score for the first time since April.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like Roy Keane, if he said that then it\u2019s fine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is Man United throughout and I understand he could react like that but I felt what I said and there is absolutely no arrogance in that. \u201cEveryone who watched the game probably felt the same. We move on. We had the opportunity and we couldn\u2019t score and that\u2019s the frustrating part.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the first time since April Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side failed to score, ending a club record-equalling run of 34 successive matches, and the 34 shots they attempted was their most on record (since 2003-04) without scoring.<\/p>\n

Striker Darwin Nunez has not found the net in 10 matches, Mohamed Salah, who scored 10 in 12 league games before November\u2019s international break, has just one in the last five, Luis Diaz has scored once in the league since mid-August while Cody Gakpo\u2019s two league goals were both in September. December is the worst time to lose your form with the number of fixtures during the month and Van Dijk admits the players may have been trying just too hard against their arch-rivals.<\/p>\n
