Liverpool are fine without Virgil van Dijk

Jakarta –

Liverpool show an okay back line performance without Virgil van Dijk. The Reds seemed to say they could perform well when the Dutch player left.

Van Dijk picked up an injury as Liverpool were matched by Everton 2-2 on Premier League. During the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on October 17, Van Dijk was beaten by Toffees goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

As a result of the attack, Van Dijk suffered an injury to the anterior washing ligament (ACL) of his right leg. He also had to pull over for about 8 months.

Tanpa Van Dijk, Liverpool has appeared in 6 matches in all competitions. As a result, the Reds have never fallen with five wins and one draw.

Liverpool was able to record three clean sheets, all of which were achieved while competing in the Champions League. Liverpool have conceded just three goals in such a fine run.

The former Newcastle United player, Alan Shearer, praised the Liverpool rearguard who appeared solid. Joel Matip cs showed a solid performance when Liverpool drew 1-1 against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, Sunday (8/11/2020).

The English League website notes Liverpool’s defense is able to reduce City’s attacks. Pep Guardiola’s team can only hit the target twice.

“Liverpool had his main problem adjusting to a season without Virgil van Dijk, but Joel Matip was able to get back into the defense at the Etihad Stadium and they look a little bit more solid, “Shearer said in his column on the BBC.

“Their setback this season is clearly a 7-2 defeat against Aston Villa, a result that has shocked everyone – but it should be noted that they did not lose seven games after that,” he said.
