Virgil VAN DIJK: 2020/21

:joy: No way. I know Adrian isnā€™t filling us up with confidence, but whatever we have is way better than whatever we had. :partying_face:

gomez is up & down, but with alisson back, weā€™re fine

vvd is quite possibly the most important player in the world, but the trouble really doesnā€™t start until, inevitably, matip gets hurt in training & vanishes for another three months

So, this had to happen at some point.

I was delighted and even surprised how long he managed to stay fit.

Weā€™ll see now, Gomez looks like heā€™s afraid of his own shadow, Matip even when heā€™s in form is not a great leader, Adrian is both a liability and has lost more trust from people around him and the public.

I just hope they donā€™t sink further mentally because of the whole new situation we have. Stick together, react, be alive and donā€™t shrink.

To be honest that looks a bad knee injury. Could be 6 or 7 months if it is an ACL. awful tackle on him and nothing done. Time for the rest of the defenders to step up and own that position now

The way he left the pitch was encouraging though, but stillā€¦ weā€™ll see how long.

Its inevitable he would be on crutches though. Might be serious, might not. The signs are not encouraging though.

Knowing Virgil heā€™s done his ACL, but is still playing on Wednesday night.

Possibly 7-8 months out, oh boy.

I can sense a stupid megalomaniac deal in Januaryā€¦

Fabinho now needs to train full time as a CB, knowing the situation of both Matip and Gomez with their injuries/form.

4 CBā€™s: Matip, Gomez, Fabinho, Hendo
6 CMā€™s: Thiago, Gini, Keita, Millie, Ox, Jones

If Ox is dead, Takumi goes even deeper. :joy:

So far itā€™s from beIN Sport.

Weā€™ll see when other sources find out more or the club makes an announcement.

Not sure where he has that info from. Can not see anything on social media.

If true his season would be over.

All the doom mongers on twatter saying 7-8 months.
