How vital do you think Virgil van Dijk has been to that, and has he perhaps reclaimed his place as the Premier League\u2019s best centre\u2013back?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>Yeah, for me he\u2019s definitely claimed that position again. Obviously the season, there is still a long way [to go], but definitely that\u2019s the Van Dijk more close to the Van Dijk that we all knew in the first few seasons at Liverpool. [He] was like nobody I\u2019ve ever seen in that position to be honest with you. It was over everyone else, you know, any striker, any winger, anyone it just didn\u2019t matter. It looked easy for him.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think he\u2019s in that kind of level, but even then he\u2019s still the best centre-back in the Premier League. He\u2019s that good, you know. Definitely, he\u2019s outstanding, he\u2019s been fantastic this season and I\u2019m so happy to see him like that. Because I could imagine how it is with a surgery like his, coming back from that, always a little bit scared with things at the start, he\u2019s not him. He\u2019s a human being, all of us, I didn\u2019t have that injury but I had something pretty similar to that. And it\u2019s very difficult to come back and feel comfortable. And it looks like it feels nice, he feels completely confident and happy again.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"TTA\"><\/a><strong>HE: Trent Alexander-Arnold says he is studying John Stones and Rodri as he develops in his new \u2018hybrid\u2019 role. How would you compare him to those players?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>For me it\u2019s nothing like that. \u201cMore like Rodri\u201d no one is like Rodri. Rodri is different class. Stones, it\u2019s true that he\u2019s been doing a good job because he actually played there as a midfielder and played there as a right back as well, because Pep does something similar \u2013 well, Klopp does something similar to Pep because actually Pep started with this first. And actually, for me, it\u2019s not something I believe too much for Liverpool, because I believe that right side is very exposed because Trent does that. And actually Klopp changed the whole system just for Trent.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if Liverpool change the system maybe with three at the back consistently, not just for attacking, for defending as well, just play maybe with two holding midfielders with Trent being one of them and everything like that. I believe he will do well like this with two there. But now that like you say, hybrid role, I think Liverpool are very exposed in that right side. And now playing against Manchester City with Doku in there, I want to see Trent there. Hopefully he does amazing, but now we want to see like we\u2019ve seen many games this season. But that side, Liverpool is a little bit exposed and I think it, as well, has to do because I don\u2019t think Trent wants to play as right back anymore. He loves to play more in the middle role, because he has more control of the game, he has more vision, he can play left, right, and obviously the ability is there. He\u2019s world class with the ball at his feet, there\u2019s no doubt about that. But I think it\u2019s a little bit different because the right side of Liverpool is very exposed because of it.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously Stones played there as a holding midfielder in the past, but he\u2019s played as a right back as well. And then Rodri is no comparison. Rodri, it\u2019s his main position. Rodri, I don\u2019t think anyone can compare with him in the world right now.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [sky-bet-b5-g20] does not exist -->\n<p><a id=\"NUNEZ\"><\/a><strong>HE: At the other end of the pitch, Darwin Nunez set up Mohamed Salah for the fourth time this season with a nice pass vs Brentford. Has he convinced you he\u2019s good enough to be a title-challenging striker yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>For me, I still believe he\u2019s a good striker, 100%. If not, Liverpool doesn\u2019t pay this kind of money for a player, that\u2019s the truth. For me, I like him a lot, I think he\u2019s improved a lot since he\u2019s arrived, it\u2019s true. I still believe that, for me, I\u2019d like to play Jota and Gakpo as a striker before him. I still believe that. Now, he\u2019s doing well, yeah, no one can take that from him. And in a very, very difficult situation, he\u2019s still fighting and trying to get that. The good thing is that Liverpool fans love him, and give him that confidence, extra confidence, that he needs to keep improving on that. But for me, in a way that I believe is like Firmino was for this tema, not a chance, and I don\u2019t think he will ever be. But not him, not even Gakpo or Jota, even. But if you ask me, between the three of them, I actually believe Gakpo and Jota are in front of him as a number nine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HE: From a Liverpool fan\u2019s perspective, there are some doubts about Man Utd at the minute, with Erik ten Hag. Which potential Ten Hag replacement would make you most worried about a Man Utd resurgence?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>Well, to be honest with you, I don\u2019t know. Obviously, I believe that any manager would be proud to manage that kind of club, because it\u2019s one of the best clubs in the world, even if I don\u2019t like to say, that\u2019s the truth. Worry about that? I don\u2019t know, a lot of top managers, they are already in other teams. I think Mauricio Pochettino could have done an amazon job there but obviously he was picked by Chelsea. And Zinedine Zidane, I\u2019m not sure he wants to come back to manage to go to a project like Manchester United is at the moment. I\u2019m not sure he will get into that, I doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>For me I think last season, he was good, but many things are happening with the Cristiano Ronaldo situation. I think he handled it very well. But then Sancho, and other stuff in the dressing room that he made public and things like that, I don\u2019t think the players are very happy about it. Obviously, talking from the outside point of view, I have no information from the players. But you can see something is not working, because if you look at the players, they are good enough to at least fight for the top four. They are still not far away, it\u2019s true, but this team, they should improve from last season, I actually believe they are a worse team than last season. That\u2019s my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing, for the first time in a long time after Ferguson, they are actually believing in him and trying to give him time. Even if the things are not working as good as they believe they will, so fair play to them. But I\u2019m actually happy that he is still there because things are not going very well for them at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HE: With so many injured right now (Shaw, Robertson, Estupinan, Chilwell), who\u2019s the Premier League\u2019s best left-back currently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>I don\u2019t know, I love Zinchenko, I love him for example. Best one? I\u2019m not sure, for me, all others fit, I love Robertson to be honest with you. And not because he plays for Liverpool. I really love him, I think he\u2019s top class. But with all the injuries that you mentioned from the top teams as well, I love Estupinan from Brighton as well. But I think Zinchenko, I like Zinchenko a lot from a top team that really like to have the ball and everything like that, he\u2019s a complete full-back. I like him a lot.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"EDDIE-HOWE\"><\/a><strong>HE: With so many players injured, will Eddie Howe prove himself as a world-class manager if he steers Newcastle through their next six season-defining games? They\u2019ve got Chelsea, PSG, Man Utd, Everton, Tottenham and AC Milan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>We have the ratings of world class, things like that, everyone has them different. For me, world class is Pep Guardiola, Klopp, Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane when he was at Real Madrid. You know, that kind of world class manager for me. To put Eddie Howe in that kind of level without having done anything really for Newcastle. Yeah, he put them in the Champions League again, he\u2019s doing a fantastic job don\u2019t get me wrong, I love Eddie Howe, I really believe they should stick with him, I love him. I really believe he can put Newcastle like he did last year. This season they are struggling more because of the injuries, and I don\u2019t think the squad is strong enough to compete for everything. And he\u2019s proving that now with all the injuries that they have. But I really like him as a manager.<\/p>\n<p>Now, world class, you cannot put him in the standards of Klopp, Guardiola, this kind of manager, at least not yet. In the future, you never know, but not yet. No chance. I think we have to respect Klopp and Guardiola for everything that they have done. Even, again I repeat myself, I love Eddie Howe and I really believe he\u2019s the manager for Newcastle. I love him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/betuk-sign-up-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BetUK Welcome offer<\/a>: Bet \u00a310, Get \u00a330 in Free Bets<\/h2>\r\n<p>\u00a0You can get \u00a330 in Free Bets when you bet \u00a310 with Bet UK by <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet-uk?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CLICKING HERE<\/strong><\/a> or on the image below.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;18+ GambleAware.org\\n\\nFull T&amp;Cs Apply.

It\u2019s going to be tough, because they have probably the most difficult group in the Champions League this season. But if they don\u2019t, and they get into the Europa League, they are able to fight in the Europa League as well with other big teams like Liverpool and teams like that to try to win it. Still, European football, they\u2019ve not been in this part for a very long time, and I\u2019m sure the fans will be very, very happy about that. Obviously they will want to stay in the Champions League because, as well, it gives more money to the club, the fans.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously it\u2019s not the same to play Champions League or Europa League, it\u2019s not even close. But fair enough, if they can finish third and play in the Europa League after the group, I think it will still be massive compared with other teams they have in the group. It\u2019s crazy that they are able to even get into the Europa League, if they do, I think it\u2019s an achievement as well.<\/p>\n<p>But even if they go to the Champions League, if they go through to the next stage, it will be amazing for them, for the fans to be more excited about what is coming. But it\u2019s true that, maybe, they will put the Premier League to the side a little, for the manager as well, because he will want to get as far as possible. So let\u2019s see, but I think what they are doing is amazing. The group is very difficult and whatever position they finish, it\u2019s great because they deserve to be there and it\u2019s the toughest group. You can\u2019t compare what these kinds of clubs have, for a very long time as a club, with Newcastle at the moment, they need to keep growing and growing and growing.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"NEWCASTLE-SIGNINGS\"><\/a><strong>HE: If they do get into the Champions League knockout stages, or Europa League, what signings do you think they would need to make in January? What additions to their squad to actually contend for those titles?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JE: <\/strong>The problem for me, I like the left-back they signed, I like the right-back they signed, but you cannot always rely on signing young players. Because at the end, maybe you get one of the starters and you put a young player in, it\u2019s okay, nothing happens. But when you have four or five injuries, to put them with, like for example Lewis Hall. I think he\u2019s a good prospect, I think he can do well, obviously it depends on him. But he\u2019s not been doing well, it\u2019s all the pressure on him, all of a sudden from nothing, \u2018Okay, let\u2019s go and play\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, for me, I believe in the signing of young players, yes, but not all your subs can be young players. And obviously they\u2019ve been unlucky with the striker situation as well because both of them are prone to injury. Both of them were out, Anthony Gordon was playing in the last game. But what they should sign, I think they need a midfielder, because with Tonali because now you have a big problem. 100% they need a midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>I think you need someone top, for Almiron, as well on that side, left footed, someone that can compete with Almiron for the starting position. And probably centre-back as well. That\u2019s what I believe they could do, you know centre-back maybe they can delay the problem a little bit, because Lascelles is there as a third choice. But even then I believe they need a centre-back as well, you know. But the other two definitely are a midfielder and a right winger, 100%.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Jose Enrique was speaking to Squawka on behalf of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grosvenorcasinos.com\/sport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grosvenor Sport<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex-Liverpool and Newcastle defender Jose Enrique has spoken about the situations at his former clubs.
