Liverpool are currently sitting on the fourth spot of the premier league and are already 20 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Already, they have been ruled out of the title race despite having one of the best attacks right now in the premier league.
The defenders are to be blamed. Klopp has a shaky defense and it has cost his side lots of points in the premier league this term.
However, despite being ruled out of the title race, the German manager is still expected to sign a new defender in January – he must earn a Champions League ticket for next season to make the fans happy.
Recently, it was reported Liverpool have agreed on a payment plan to bring Virgil Van Dijk to Anfield in January.
At Liverpool, the duo of Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren have been Jurgen’s first choice central defenders this term, but opponents keep scoring.
Virgil Van Dijk, on the other hand, has evolved into one of the best central defenders in England since he moved to the St Mary’s Stadium a few years back.
If the former Celtic player joined Liverpool, he will definitely become a first-team regular at Anfield and kick Lovren out of the starting XI.
Dejan has been the most inconsistent center half this season, and we expect Virgil to replace him and partner Joel in the back line.
