Virgil van Dijk has admitted Liverpool let their standards slip against West Bromwich Albion but is adamant Roma will prove a welcome and contrasting proposition at Anfield on Tuesday evening. Liverpool squandered a two-goal lead at the Hawthorns after struggling to cope with set pieces late on but Van Dijk is confident they will rise to the occasion in the semi-final first leg. Van Dijk said: “I think so. To concede two goals from set pieces as well where we have always the same roles to do and we didn’t do that. “It will be hard work and we need to be ready for anything and then obviously the tough game in Rome,” Van Dijk said.
