By Dakir Mohammed Thanveer Modified 21 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk has been criticized for his performances this season Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has admitted that Virgil van Dijk is not at his best for the Reds this term, but backed him to regain his form soon. Liverpool spent a whopping £75 million to acquire Van Dijk's services from Southampton in January 2018. The defender has since been a key player for them, making 190 appearances across all competitions. The Netherlands international has been pivotal to the Reds' domestic and European success in recent years. His importance to the side was further highlighted when they struggled in his absence in the 2020-21 season. Van Dijk made a successful return from injury last campaign and helped Liverpool win the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. However, the 31-year-old has largely been criticized for his performances this term. Assessing Van Dijk's displays this season, Johnson conceded that the centre-back is not performing like he used to. However, the former Liverpool right-back suggested that the player is a victim of his own success. He told Genting Casino: "Van Dijk has set the bar so high that he’s always going to get criticized after a few bad performances. He’s certainly not hitting the heights he used to but it could be the personnel around him."
