I have compelling reasons not to do the research (ie I couldn't be arsed) but Robbo replaced Morono at about the same time as VVD arrived. Good as he is, I doubt if he would be as much of a stand out if he was playing alongside Morono

He’s amazing, but Scottish football doesn’t count. Some of those teams probably dragged a few lads out of nursing homes to make up the numbers. Think Hibs were fined for playing a stray dog at left back for four games that season too.

Should have been made captain this season.

He doesn’t need to wear the armband, he’s already got it tattooed on his soul.

Terrible post. Awful.

[Joe Strummer]

Colussus. He also takes a mean free kick, don't know why he hasn't taken more.

I'm an idiot. That's Barcelona he's bossing at the age of 22. What a player.

 

Great buy by Celtic too. Crazy that he went to Southampton rather than somewhere bigger after that.

Why was no one else in for him last summer?

 

Did he tell them "Liverpool or nothing"?

 

City paid 47.5 for Stones, so clearly price is no object for them, even for defenders.

After Blackpool and him coming back with a sign me quick, hat. There was only one destination for him.

Nah!

[Numero Veinticinco]

Deffo wanted by City. Fuck off, I’m Kloppo’s man.

Ha. I thought you were just being your usual sarcastic self.

[Joe Strummer]

City baulked at the price in that new documentary. They ended up paying £20m odd less for Laporte instead who is nowhere close to Big Virg.

[Aventus]

Since making his Liverpool debut, no player has kept more clean sheets in the Premier League than Virgil van Dijk.

 

The Reds haven't conceded a league goal at Anfield since February.

 

182 days and counting.

 

Boss.

Don.

[Section_31]

I like to imagine Big Virg re-enacting the police station shootout scene from Terminator (politely) but with the 70s Brazil team instead, while Tim Lovejoy and a bunch of 90s footy fans sit at home watching it on the telly and cry. Meanwhile me and Rafa watch and nod approvingly.  

 

An anti-football force of nature, where football comes to die.

[Chip Butty]

Bloody rubbish, and I'm writing a very stiff letter to my local Lollipop Lady and Military Police

Quite obvious Mane should have won that tbh.

Or Gomez. 

 

 

The cockwombles in here must of rigged the vote

Fully deserved

It was night and day with him out of the side last night.  I know it was Lovrens first competitive game in a while but the difference was painful to watch.  You have to give the players some leeway I think because it’s not like one or two of them coming into a settled side.  Most of the side was changed but we just looked so weak contesting for balls in the air.

 

I remember Carragher saying one player can’t fix that because one player can’t just go and win everything.  I agreed with him at the time.  He was wrong though because that’s exactly what Van DIjk has done.  Last night was a reminder of just how important he is.

[Numero Veinticinco]

You could certainly see why we changed the entirety of that back five.

[Chip Butty]

Whole sale changes last night so it wasn't a true reflection on the question of - what would we do if we lose VVD for a period of time.

My gut feel is, we could get by and whilst we wouldn't be at our strongest, we wouldn't be as tragic as we have been historically. 

 

The bigger worry, is if we lose Robertson, that worries me more than VVD, as Moreno is far too erratic and inconsistent to be let lose on this team for more than 90 minutes at most.

Just play Milner left back next to Van Dijk and we’d be okay.
