The Brazilian got injured at the start and when he made his way into the team, he was clearly the weak link. Jurgen Klopp opted to bench him on a lot of occasions and that has eventually helped him get back to his top form.
He has got an IF card of 87 as a CB this season but that was his only stand out performance. Apart from that, he has been nowhere close to his best and should be getting a downgrade to 84, at least.
