Wijnaldam has been impressive for Liverpool so far this season.
#1 Van Dijk and Alisson's importance
Ad
He has sensational since his arrival from Roma.
The Brighton game was another spectacle of defensive and goalkeeping brilliance from the new look Liverpool's back line. All these years, Liverpool got the bashing for their goalkeeping and defensive frailties. Last season Champions League defeat against Real Madrid was a final coffin in Klopp's patience which made him sign Alisson from Roma this summer and what a signing he was proved to be. He is commanding in his box and always communicating with his defenders. His distribution and positional skills are phenomenal.
The contribution of Virgin Van Dijk cannot be undermined. After his arrival in the middle of last season, Liverpool's looked a whole lot different side. The stability he brings in the backline allows the midfield and forward to play freely and at will. What seemed like an over the moon price for him in the transfer market is looking like a bargain now. Klopp needs him to be fit and performing which will be crucial if Liverpool has to win the league.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
