According to expert one Liverpool player is now a lot slower this season

This season, the Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has come under fire for playing slower than usual for both club and country.

Irish commentator Eamon Dunphy criticized the Anfield captain for his apparent lack of speed in crucial matches this season for both Liverpool and the Netherlands in a statement to The Stand.

Due to what appears to be preseason rust, Van Dijk hasn’t been at his best as a defender. And Dunphy has since targeted the defender for appearing to lose a step in his play.

Regarding Van Dijk’s alleged lack of speed this season, the Irish commentator said: “West Ham scored one yesterday, and there’s a big question mark around Van Dijk.

“You watched the game in the Aviva when we played Holland; you know even Adam Idah had the legs on him and he was very fortunate not to give away a penalty or a goal.

He lost a few pace yards, which for him were crucial.
They have firepower up front, but they are obviously weak at the back in comparison to Liverpool.

For Liverpool, Van Dijk must soon get back to his best.

There is no getting around the fact that Van Dijk has lost some of his speed, primarily because of the defender’s ACL injury, which the Dutch superstar sustained in 2020.

And even though the center back is now 32 years old and has lost some of his speed, he still acknowledges that his form needs to improve.

The defender has not been at the top of his game this year, and with Liverpool now appearing to be in a title race, Jurgen Klopp will need Van Dijk to be at his best if they are to contend with Manchester City.

More news…….

The 26-year-old has reportedly given Liverpool new life this season, “Like a new signing,” according to pundits.

This season, Liverpool is off to a fantastic start in the Premier League.

The Reds haven’t lost in their first five games of the season, and while their performances haven’t always been spectacular, they have displayed a real cutting edge in attack.

In fact, the Merseyside club has been scoring goals like crazy lately, and Luis Diaz has made a significant contribution to the Liverpool attack.

Clinton Morrison, speaking on Premier League Productions, claimed that after missing significant amounts of last season due to injury, Diaz has returned with a mission to prove.
The winger, according to Morrison, appears to be a new addition at Anfield this season.

Like a fresh signing

Morrison had nothing but positive things to say about Diaz.

“Diaz came off the bench and changed the game, that much I am certain of in that contest.
He, Nunez, and Diaz in particular.
With the injury he suffered last season, Diaz has been like a new signing for Liverpool.
He is an outstanding player and a top-tier player, according to Morrison.

Been outstanding.

Morrison is absolutely correct; this season, Diaz has been like a new signing for Liverpool, and his rise to prominence has undoubtedly given this team new life.

Simply put, the winger is a fantastic player.
On that left wing, he can conjure something from nothing, and when he’s in top form, he’s impossible to contain.

The Colombian’s main goal this term is to stay healthy, but if he succeeds, he may end up as one of the Premier League’s players of the season.

This Liverpool team has undoubtedly received a new lease on life thanks to Diaz
