VVD is fucking boss and most of the posts on here are batshit mental.

It's the obsession with shiny new things. I'm more of a 'wait until it's permanently broke' type of guy.

I too hope we sell him. 

[Mathewbet1]

He's the best young CB i've seen in years, he could reach VVD peak levels pretty soon.

Also known as the FSG Way.

Van Dijk has been better in the last few matches. He's having a strange season. 

Himself and Konate work well together. The Man City game aside, Gomez has really struggled in the middle this season and Matip's been injured for a fair while now. 

[HBenn]

He is brilliant at the back. Think once we have sorted the midfield people will really switch on to how good he and Virgil are fir us.

I know I have said it before though but once Matip is fit, if we are still getting overrun in midfield and are unable to bring in a midfielder I would be inclined to have a look at him in the holding role as a short term fix.

I think the defence would be ok with Matip in their but his physical presence and ball winning ability could be huge in midfield. Not forgetting his ability to stride forward with it. Put it another way, I don't see it would make them worse in there. I get that we are playing a high line but the echo have just done an article saying that a lot of the fires he is extinguishing are coming in the midfield area anyway.

[The Golden Eel]

So he's going to the World Cup.

Just had to go to page ten to find his thread which is shameful. This lad is a colossus and absolutely superb. Not the silky skills of VVD but an absolutely superb defender. A bargain at any price. Makes the odd mistake but so what? He prevents so much. Our best CB for me nowadays.

[TheHowieLama]

One of the few bright spots this season. Him and Bajcetic showing like he can play at this level are really the only two tbh.

Top class CB.

[Denny Crane]

This is woeful news. No Konate or Van Dijk.

 

 

 

[Denny Crane]

More Gomez my prediction.

What the fuck is going on at this club? This lad is the only decent,currently fit(until this!) CB at the club. We are getting snotted frequently from now on until May. This is a disaster.

[Anubis]

Nat Phillips going nowhere then

[joe_fishfish]

Nat Phillips to get a chance to gain some revenge on Real Madrid?

[Tj hooker]

This season can just fucking do one as far as I'm concerned a total write off , do we ever get a fucking break on injuries. 

[Captain Howdy]

In fairness this lad seems to be made of Sturridge. It’s not boding well for him 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Questions need asking of Ljinders coaching sessions if we keep getting training injuries 

[manwiththestick]

Can we get Ben Davies back.

 

Or Stephen Caulker, didn't Kolo sign him at Wigan?

Just fuck off.

 

2/3 weeks isn’t that disastrous, unfortunately our 2/3 weeks actually means 3/4 months. 

[LFC 6 Times]

This is pure misery. What a fucking cunt of a season.

[VladimirIlyich]

I think that a big part of FSG's 'smartest guys in the room' policy is to buy players with dubious injury records. Since the halcyon days of the largely uninjured Wiji,Mane,Salah,Alisson et al,we've just signed a conveyor belt of crocks. Matip on a free was worth a punt but seemingly since Jota most have been wounded players. Maybe this was why deals were negotiated to FSG's liking?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

OK, so we're now depending on Gomez and Matip to stay fit. And half of our forwards are still injured. And our midfield is shit.

 

But apart from that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... sorry, I've got nothing.

[VladimirIlyich]

At least if Alisson is injured Kelleher is decent.

Probably sold now on deadline day.
