Virgil Van Dijk

[sir roger]

I'm going to stick my neck out here and suggest that he may turn out a good buy.

Had a good game yesterday, his best in a long time.

Coming along nicely, under Phillips' tutelage.

I still have mental issues of my own, still not comfortable when his thread is bumped.

Virge is FAB,and Big Bird alongside him is some central defensive unit.

I fear for him now Big Nat's gone.

I remember when we didn't get Virgil in the summer and Jurgen waited until January to get him, even though we were in the horrors at the back.

I couldn't believe that we didn't have a backup option, and why the fuck didn't Klopp go for that.

 

Klopp is more cleverer than me.

He's absolutely terrible at being not world class

[ManéMan]

Last few games there's been a noticable change...he looks back to his very best

And world class he is, an immense footballer and he belongs here at LFC.

RoboVirgil is back. 

 

He's regained that aura that used to scare opposition forwards.

[Tj hooker]

Brilliant tonight really getting back to his very best , I suppose it was always going to take time after an injury like that but its Fabulous to see it really is . 

[Duff Man]

Yeah definitely starting to look like prime Virgil again. Love to see it.

[Anubis]

Last couple of games he’s looked fully restored. Looks like he’s cleared his head and it’s back to business.

[m0e]

We're never going to lose another game again.

[chrisbonnie]

The one v one with martinez was hilarious. 

 

For a second his eyes lit up, thinking he had a one on one with a big clumsy defender, then he cops its "the big lad" and he just goes, nah, fuck it, what's the point. 

 

I laughed my bollox off

[Elite]

Fairly certain he was made in a lab.

I want to dedicate a post to credit Van Dijk for his masterful performance. He is without a doubt the best defender right now and what a complete defender he is. He thwarted our attack after attack without breaking sweat. And although he is a beast in physicality, he rarely uses it and he relies on his game sense and leadership to defend. No wonder he was bought for 84.5 million and he won UEFA player of the year award in 2019. As long as we have 36 years old Dzeko and out-of-form Lautaro, we won't ever breach Liverpool's defence.

[Mathewbet1]

Simply purring around the pitch, wonderful is'unt it.

[clockspeed]

Best footballer in world on current form

He started the season looking like a very good PL centre back, but not quite the Virgil we know he can be. Last couple of weeks he's looked more-or-less like his old self. Last night he looked as good as he ever has - and possibly better; one of his best performances for us IMO.

 

I always believed he'd get back somewhere close to his pre-injury level in time, but he's once again surpassed what I thought he'd be capable of because he's just picked up where he left off once he's got the game time under his belt, getting better and better. By far and away the best defender of his generation.

[Numero Veinticinco]

He and Konate we’re absolutely nuts last night. 

[sir roger]

Did he ever get to go on the Big One at Blackpool ?

[Manny]

Also the little satisfied smile he did in his post-match interview when he said "the atmosphere was great - I really enjoyed myself out there." Love how much he relishes big games, big battles and big grounds. He's fucking immense.
