Liverpool fans here in the Tavern are excited about the prospect of welcoming some fresh legs in for the January transfer window.
As ‘You’ll never walk alone’ rings around Anfield, fans are in jubilation after an emphatic 4-1 win over The Hammers. Having battered Slovenian side Maribor midweek, they decided to dish out yet another as a rampant Liverpool attack tore apart the London based side.
After a lacklustre run of form in the Premier League of late, this is exactly the response the Reds needed. After the disappointing thrashing at the hands of Tottenham, Liverpool have responded in fine voice as they look to chase European football for next season. However, as they top their group in the Champions League, they can’t be banking on getting in via winning it as this seems so very unlikely.
A central defender is something that’s been missing this season at Anfield, as criticism is forever being thrown around at Klopp and his failure to have signed a central defender in the summer months. But perhaps we could have found the solution to their worries, Brazilian David Luiz is currently out of favour at Chelsea and has the Premier League pedigree.
Having been pushed out of a back 3 with the signing of Rudiger, the Brazilian will be looking for some consistent game time. With Liverpool in the central defender crisis that they’re in, it wouldn’t actually be too bad of a coup.
Here’s a look at 2 reasons as to why David Luiz would be a good signing for Chelsea…
Experience
Having been with Chelsea for a combined total of years, the Brazilian has shown from time to time that he has the potential to be one of the best. But, having played in the Premier League for so long, this poses as a great attraction for a club like Liverpool with Ragnar Klavan currently at centre back with no experience whatsoever.
Not having knowledge of players, the way teams attack you and the pace of Premier League football can all affect how you perform. David Luiz is used to the flow and everything that comes with it, as a Premier League winner maybe he can pass on some advice on how to bring the trophy home for themselves.
Aggression and Passion
Liverpool’s defenders of late all lack one thing and that is a passion for their club. They don’t fly into tackles and give everything they can for the team as legends of the past have. But this man Luiz, although he can be liable to a red card, he gives his all for the team and is proud to wear the shirt. Whether it’s sliding into tackles or using his aggression to bother the opposition’s strikers, this man will get it done.
So for a missing avenue of defenders that really want to become a hero in the shirt, this man could fill the potential void. As all he wants is to be a part of a successful team.
So Liverpool fans, is this the man to lead your defence?
