Thought big Virg had his best game today since his injury, defended on the front foot and also put in a proper tackle, long may it continue

He had more tenacity to his game yesterday, it seems after missing out on the Euros he didnā€™t want to miss the World cup and may have been holding himself back???

Still far away from what we know he can do.

Heā€™s marshalled defences on his own, defensively as unit last 2 games have been just as bad as the previous 14.

Took his goal nicely.

Liverpool FC ā€” In numbers: Virgil van Dijkā€™s five years with Liverpool
To mark the fifth anniversary of Virgil van Dijk officially becoming a Liverpool player, club statisticians Ged Rea and Dave Ball provide a numerical review of the Dutchmanā€™s Reds career to dateā€¦
70 ā€“ Van Dijk holds the record of most successive home Premier League games without defeat with a single club. He broke Lee Sharpeā€™s record of 59 matches and went on to set a new best of 70 before the loss to Leeds United in October

204 ā€“ He has made 204 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool, starting each and every one of those fixtures

76 ā€“ Van Dijk was ever-present in the Premier League in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, playing all 76 top-flight fixtures when Liverpool amassed a combined total of 196 points and finished second and first respectively

21 ā€“ In 2019, Van Dijk was named PFA Menā€™s Playersā€™ Player of the Year after helping the Reds keep 21 clean sheets in 38 Premier League games and also became the first defender to be voted UEFA Menā€™s Player of the Year

8 ā€“ In the poll for the 2019 Ballon dā€™Or, he went within eight votes of beating Lionel Messi to the award, receiving almost a quarter of the total votes cast

38 ā€“ Van Dijk has captained Liverpool 38 times and wore the armband for the first time in the 4-0 home win over Red Star Belgrade in October 2018

84 ā€“ Joel Matip is Van Dijkā€™s most regular centre-back partner, with the two having played 84 times together under JĆ¼rgen Klopp

Out with a hamstring injury according to Joyce.

Whatā€™s the worse we can expect on that? Hopefully back for the CL, first expected doesnā€™t mean itā€™s massively bad, as any hamstring would mean a spell.

And the hits keep on coming, what a horrible season.

Is it too late to null and void?

Least itā€™s Wednesday so wonā€™t have to wait long to know how long. Wish the press wouldnā€™t release half the information mind.

Many reports saying rest of the monthā€¦could be bit longer and up to 6 weeks.

Thatā€™s ok then, CL return.

Doubt he would have played against Wolves anyhow.

Might be beneficial for Matip and Konate to have a few games together.

Luckily we play only once a week until the end of February. We all know what will happen if Matip has to play Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday week in week out. :scream:

No worriesā€¦

Steven Caulker just became a free transfer a few days agoā€¦stars are aligning.

Rumours has it FSG would still only sanction a loan move.

God we are cursed.
