With so many defensive injuries, Liverpool's season has really suffered.
It'll take no level of footballing comprehension to know that without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip for most of the season the Reds have suffered in a defensive sense.
But so many absences in their back-line has hurt the Anfield club elsewhere.

Joe Gomez has now been a Liverpool player for almost six years, which doesn't seem possible.
In fact, he is now the fourth-longest-serving player at Anfield, behind Jordan Henderson, Divock Origi and James Milner, yet is still only 23 years of age.
Gomez's Liverpool career has been a curious one, with endless moments of promise, exceptional...
Virgil, Joe Gomez & Joel Matip represent a core defensive unit of players that have for the most part been unavailable this season. The ramifications of not signing a Dejan Lovren replacement, in the form of Wesley Fofana or an earlier acquisition of Kabak to add required depth now looks foolish. The system, the...
Liverpool went from having no centre-backs to potentially having an abundance of them. Per The Athletic, the Reds are in advanced negotiations to sign Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig. If all goes to plan, he’ll be the eighth senior centre-back within the squad. Â

At 20 years old, footballers are going to have peaks and valleys in their form. Nowhere is this truer than in the case of defenders.

Now, instead of what we all thought would be a season where Liverpool would make a stern defence of the trophy that had alluded them...
Liverpool have been linked to innumerable players throughout the course of the transfer window.
The spotlight of speculation has mostly focused on the defensive compartment after the serious injuries to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. The uncertainty over Georginio Wijnaldum's future, however, has lead to several midfielders being linked to the Reds.
Among the...
Sour grapes. That's what any rival supporter will tell you. But it's not, is it?
Liverpool started the season as reigning Premier League and world champions, as well as recently dethroned Champions League winners, looking primed for another dominant campaign.
No key players departed, those below them in the table didn't look remotely scary and silverware...
Remember during the first couple of seasons under Jurgen Klopp, when Liverpool would perform well, but an individual mistake would cost them? I’m talking about Alberto Moreno against Sevilla in the Europa League final, Simon Mignolet in the Carabao Cup final, Dejan Lovren on multiple occasions, and Loris Karius in the Champions League final.

It looks as if Liverpool, barring a late plot twist, will stick with what they have in the centre half department of the team.
After injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez -- both of which are serious enough to keep the duo out for most of the, if not all of, the season...
