4 reasons why 2018-19 could be Liverpool’s season

#3 Lovren finally performing to his potential

Lovren: Reaching among the best

Like the goalkeeping issue, another difficulty for Liverpool was in their defence, as Croatian defender Dejan Lovren could not replicate his fantastic Southampton performances for the All Reds initially.

But, with the arrival of his partner Virgil van Dijk earlier this year, he gradually got better, and at the recently concluded Russia World Cup, was one of the best defenders.

Lovren and Van Dijk can truly become a formidable partnership, which should make Liverpool a strong contender for domestic and European success.
