After a long injury, Van Dijk has returned to the field, but his strength as an international center back has not been fully restored. Alisson, once known as the "Messi of goalkeepers", has also failed to reproduce the solid performance of the championship season. Once Liverpool's backline is breached, it will be difficult for the team to ensure that they don't concede a goal by relying only on Van Dijk and Alisson.
In the offensive end, the "Red Arrow Three" although the name is loud, but if the tower joined did not improve the overall efficiency, the real stable output is Salah one. Once Salah performance is low, Liverpool's offense will be difficult to open the situation.
This season's Premier League is highly competitive, and outside of the BIG6, teams like West Ham United and Leicester City have the potential to win the title. Who can continue to play stably, who may eventually win the title.
For Liverpool, the critical period in January 2022 is made even more difficult with Salah and Mane set to miss out due to their participation in the African Cup of Nations.
According to renowned journalist Romano, Liverpool are actively seeking a new winger and are interested in bringing in Dutch winger Dan Juma from Villarreal's squad in the winter transfer window.
Danjuma, 24, has made 11 appearances in La Liga this season, contributing 5 goals and 1 assist, and has made 15 appearances for Villarreal in all competitions, scoring 7 goals and delivering 2 assists. In the second round of the group stage of the Champions League this season, Danjuma had a solo game against Manchester United, facing De Gea's excellent play, and came close to tearing through the United defense several times, creating a killer opportunity for Crowe.
Romano pointed out that Liverpool do have an interest in Danjuma, but Villarreal, for their part, are not willing to sell the young player.
