The FA has fined and banned Van Dijk for his outburst at the referee against Newcastle, and Liverpool supporters have pointed out that if there is any consistency, Jordan Pickford should receive the same punishment. https://twitter.com/Kloppholic/status/1703438775181832393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1703438775181832393%7
