Jamie Carragher says it is 'absolute nonsense' that Virgil Van Dijk will fix Liverpool's defence as Slaven Bilic insists they will be in 'trouble' if they rely on £75m defender too much

Jamie Carragher has labelled the notion that Virgil van Dijk is going to fix Liverpool's defence as 'absolute nonsense' after their 1-0 defeat at Swansea.

Meanwhile, former West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has warned Liverpool not to expect too much too soon from the £75million signing from Southampton.

Virgil van Dijk made a costly error on his Premier League debut for the club as Alfie Mawson netted the only goal of the game near the end of the first half for Carlos Carvalhal's Swansea side.

Van Dijk will be extremely disappointed with his role in the goal as the Dutch centre back headed the ball back into the danger area following a corner before Mawson struck home the winner.
