Paul Merson has admitted that "nobody is scared of Virgil van Djik anymore" as he delivers a damning verdict on the Liverpool centre-back following his below-par start to the season.
The Reds have kept just two Premier League clean sheets all campaign and Van Djik's dip in form has contributed to their downturn in defensive fortunes. Arsenal managed to bypass that Liverpool back-line easily as they scored three goals against Jurgen Klopp's men last weekend - enough to earn the Gunners a 3-2 win.
Van Djik hasn't been himself this season and doesn't look up to speed compared to previous campaigns - where he was renowned as one of the best defenders in the world. The Dutchman was named in the Premier League Team of the Year last season after recovering from a serious ACL injury.
