Liverpool’s clash with Shrewsbury Town in the fourth round decider of the FA Cup was nothing short of sensational as the Reds fielded a team fully made up of youngsters and still managed to win.The 1-0 triumph was also not orchestrated by Jurgen Klopp – who was absent along with the rest of the senior team – but rather Neil Critchley.And many Liverpool fans were impressed by one player in particular – Sepp van den Berg.
Can you name the result these iconic Liverpool images belong to? Give it a go now…
The 18-year-old defender had an exceptional game and it didn’t take long for the Anfield faithful to take note and heap praise on the teenager on Twitter.
Some called him extraordinary while others commended his composure and promise.
But the biggest compliments arrived when some other fans started comparing him to Virgil van Dijk. One fan also noted that this must be the result of van den Berg spending time with Liverpool’s main man in defence…
And finally, there were also some fans who weren’t afraid to admit that Dutchman proved them wrong with his display.
They said improvement can already be seen in the way he plays following what was perceived to be an underwhelming start to his career at Anfield.
This, in many ways, was his first good display for the Reds and some fans were quick to recognise it.
