#4 Virgil Van Djik’s command at the back
Liverpool were in the hunt to sign Virgil Van Djik last summer, but things didn’t go well with them and Southampton and after a controversial end to the summer window, Van Djik was still left at Southampton.
Eventually, in the winter transfer window, Van Djik did sought a move to the Reds, making him the most expensive defender and it is safe to say that since then, Liverpool have looked way more stable at the back. The Dutch center-back has indeed brought some calmness and leadership at the back, something that the Reds definitely lacked.
Alongside World Cup star Dejan Lovren, Van Djik can form a formidable partnership and help Liverpool defend better than what they did last season. Liverpool conceded 38 goals last season, the most among the top four last season and if they are to win the title this season, they sure have to concede much less goals.
