Like the rest of his team-mates, the Dutch defender endured a very difficult opening 45 minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium on Monday evening, with the Reds trailing 2-0 at the interval after centre-back partner Ibrahima Konate inadvertently deflected a Bryan Mbeumo corner past Alisson on his first start since losing the World Cup final and Ivan Toney replacement Yoane Wissa later guided a header over the line after twice seeing efforts ruled out for offside.
