Virgil VAN DIJK: 2021/22

How big of him to recognize that he might have been wrong.

Yeah took him just three years, 149 games, and two major trophies.

It’s the way its used. Meant to be understated but slightly self disparaging at the same time.

Some of the replies to that tweet are simply awful.

Though he was poor last night, you simply can not stand still and look how your opponent takes a shot in the box. He was understandably not like he was before Prickford took him out this season but to me, he was getting better every match he played and then he got fucking COVID. :rage:

Pre-injury he would have slid in and blocked that shot, not shown the attacker where to shoot. It was an odd thing to do in that situation. I also can’t remember the last time he won a header at a corner. He’s lost a lot of the spring in his heels from what I’ve seen this season.

He was a bit lucky with that tackle on Insigne.

That night was a really close one also with the save right at the end.

You just know… when we just about qualify in the last group game after complicating our lives in previous games, we are on our way of winning the CL.

:joy:

Before his injury I bet he looked at big to any attacker. I remember some games strikers just moved to the other side as not to go up against him. Great video.

He’s becoming the unbeatable giant he was before the injury. The presence and the aura combined with his game reading and speed to get to the ball first, just fabulous!

The Diaz intro video where he mentions how tall Virgil is…

Maybe part of the reason why forwards want to sign for liverpool is they’d rather play with Virgil and not against him

Best CB I’ve seen play for us in my life time…

Maybe 1 or 2 who are a few years or decades older…:P, would be able to say if he’s the best ever CB for us?

I’d agree. I’ve been watching liverpool play since the late 90’s. He easily is the best CB for us from what i’ve seen
