Independent Liverpool Twitter account Anfield Edition posed an interesting question on Tuesday, and it was one that produced a surprise reaction from lots of Reds fans.

Supporters were asked who they would pick if they had to sell one of their four key defensive players in Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold or Andrew Robertson.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the big Dutch defender received no attention whatsoever when it came to being forced to move one of the quartet on, but the Brazilian goalkeeper did attract plenty of votes.

Given how important he has been following his arrival in the summer of 2018, including conceding just 22 goals in the Premier League last term and playing a major role in the Merseyside outfit's Champions League success, it was perhaps a little surprising that so many of the Anfield faithful would be ready to move him on ahead of the likes of Alexander-Arnold and Robertson.

Of course, the South American stopper is currently on the sidelines because of injury, and while his back-up Adrian was the hero in the Super Cup last week, it was his dreadful error that led to Danny Ings finding the net for Southampton at the weekend.

Perhaps the following Liverpool fans are underestimating his important a little, then.

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction...
