My bad.
It was the League Cup (Carabao) that we got knocked out of when he played with Lovren and Matip in the CB positions and with Clyne and Moreno at the Fullback positions.
I'm still not convinced he would be any better if he played with Van Dijk.
His problem was never not having good enough defenders in front of him but rather not being good enough himself to justify their confidence or any confidence in him backing them up.
