Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has hit out at two Liverpool stars, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, saying that they need to go back to basics.
Ferdinand said this after Liverpool’s Premier League 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday.
The former England defender believes both Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold are a shadow of themselves this season.
“Liverpool’s defending… I don’t know what I’m seeing at the moment! I can’t get my head around it. Van Dijk has arguably been the best defender in the world for the last couple of years. He looks a shadow of himself,” Ferdinand on his Vibe with FIVE YouTube show.
“He’s lost form, obviously. He said in a [social media] post after the game that personally and collectively [Liverpool] have lost form, not playing the way they normally would. And that is fine, that is fair.
“Him, Trent [Alexander-Arnold] they have just got to get back to basics. The way you get out of a rut like that is to just get back to basics.
“I saw Jamie Carragher tweet something about Van Dijk being better than Vidic. I don’t know why, or why that was said or whatever.
“I don’t know why Vidic’s name was thrown in there. It is mad,” he added.
