The club legend believes the Reds' rearguard is in great shape, while he has picked out one forward player in particular to watch
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has heaped praise on centre-back Virgil van Dijk, explaining that the Netherlands international is the style of defender his former club have needed “for years”.
In the eyes of the 43-year-old, who played 236 times in the league for the Reds and scored 120 goals, the Anfield outfit needed someone to take command of their rearguard.
And Fowler says that not since Jamie Carragher retired in 2013 have they had a player with such leadership capabilities.
