Virgil Van Dijk

[Elite]

If you designed the perfect centre back I'm not sure you could create anyone better than Virgil. He's a physically perfect for the role, he's also quick, intelligent, composed and very good on the ball. If you could add an extra ingredient to improve him I'm not sure what it could be.

 

I know fans have a penchant for hyping their own players but I think it's universally accepted how immense he is and that's coming from Mancs and Bitters too.

He needs to be given the direct free kicks.

Above all he is a leader. Good ingredient

He’s a banker for Players’ player of the season because, unlike the Writers’ equivalent, there’s no politics or narrative to serve by pontificating over it.  

 

Just fellow pros voting who the best player they’ve come up against all season is. He’s been head and shoulders the best and most important player in the league for the past 18 months.

 

Sublime footballer.

I don't understand the need to try and play off who is the best from different era's. It's impossible to do because it's a team game and those around influence your view of each individual. And also because it's arguable Hansen wasn't even the best center back in the team he played in. I prefer the idea Virgil is boss. So were Hansen, lawro, Yates, thomo, sami, carra etc.

I blame Tony Barrett.

You can see with VVD as others have said, the time he has, pace, intelligence, reads the game. Very rarely anything last minute or rash unlike others over the years. Last ditch defending isn’t always great defending, out of position? Not reading the game? Not quick enough?

Not Virg enough.

As good as VVD is he is not our best centre half ever, yet. People saying he is never watched our 70/80’s sides, or didn’t appreciate what they were watching.

 

 

I did. I do. I disagree.

He needs the armband and licence to go after the refs.

 

That's the one thing that he could (be allowed to) do better.

 

I'm not advocating Mourinho-era Chelsea (first edition), but having Virge swearing at you on a regular basis might just cause you to hesitate a bit here and there.

 

And he clearly knows the game, so not just swearing, but making intelligent points, arguments, etc.

[TheHowieLama]

THE BENCH!!

Big sexy bastard was in training today and keeping goals as well.

Fries.

That's more of a side than an ingredient. Plus you wouldn't see big Virg eating anorexic chips.

[TheHowieLama]

Taters are a sound component, almost more than a side - but, agreed, not really an ingredient.

 

And yes, there is zero chance that the thick, juicy entree that is Virgil van Dijk would be served with fries.

 

As if.

I reckon he'd go with fries, to be honest, and I'm not being biased.  There's science.

 

For the same serving size, french fries contain about half the fat and calories, and a bit more fiber, than potato chips. And because they have a higher water content,fries fill you up faster.

Fair point but he's not a nonce, so he can't possibly eat fries.

If being a nonce is wrong, I don't want to be right.
