When is Milly back? I forgot about him. This is good news.
We need to have almost fit squad for Champions league matches in 2 months.
That name reminds me of just this
The key thing to VVD getting back to his highest level will be his weight.
Any Aussie Rules fans on here will know about Matthew Kreuzer, who was a ruckman, so the biggest player out there. Like VVD, MK was a worker, and after his ACL MK spent months in the gym, put on an absolute shitload of muscle, which impacted him for the rest of his (unfortunately injury riddled) career.
VVD is a man mountain, tooā¦will be absolutely crucial that they find the right balance of lean muscle/strength etc etcā¦
Gomez did this too and looked awful when he returned.
Zlatan has a similar build to VVD, he did his ACL at 35 and returned 6 or 7 months later. Heās still playing at a high level now and heās nearly 40.
I think Virgil will be alright. Even if it takes him a while to return to his previous level heāll still be a cut above most other defenders in the game.
I should addā¦Virg looks the business in those videosā¦
Lets hope come March-April heās back out on the training pitches.
As far as Iām concerned, we wont see him until next season - so anything earlier is nice. Very much doubt the club would risk rushing him back, even if things have gone tits up later in the season.
The only thing going tits up later this season will be the lads down rippers for a boobie sandwich when they celebrate us wrapping up the league with 10 games to spareā¦
Weāll know when Milly does an interview the following day with glitter on his forehead.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
You old sailor dog, you!!!
Whereās the X-rated version with horizontal jogging with Pickfordās missus?
No no no Virg has too much class for that I know.
I didnāt want to jinx Van Dijk by mentioning this but⦠There you go. They are similarly built, though IbrahimoviÄ is a real freak of nature. Iād let this season be a write-off for Van Dijk (including Euros) if that meant he was going to be playing for Liverpool and Netherlands at a high level until, say, the end of 2025/26. Heād be 35 then if Iām not mistaken, I really couldnāt expect him to play so well after that (unless he joins Juventus on a free, of course).
Happy to see you doing good Virgil
I know Virg is a beast, but Zlatan is a different level. heās a machine.
This brings literal tears to my eyes and Iām not too proud to say that. Simply amazing seeing The Big Man in such a positive way.
Heās not though is he?
Thing is VVD had very few injuries, LFC wonāt rush him back, Klopp is one manager who seems to not rush his players back.
Itās evident elsewhere in the league.
