Lol
Oh stevie of liver-“poof” 😂😂😂😂😂
Ten hag is cooking man bring on city we will smash that small team
I’d say it’s about a 6’5”, 220# deal…
As a Liverpool fan I am Konate fan but he made two huge mistakes in Brentford game. I hope he steps up now
Not a Liverpool fan but Diaz, Jota and Gakpo for next season is gotta count for something.
Season is over for us. Need a massive rebuild. Too many old injury prone players now. VVD is past his best now. Seems the Red Sox fans have the same troubles with FSG not investing in the team! FSG out!
It's the biggest deal of the lot. Liverpool are royally screwed without VVD.
WE WILL MISS HIM AT EVERY GAME 😢😢
Defensively, we might let a goal or two that Virgil would have smothered, but Konate, Matip, Gomez, Phillips are capable, even if I have concerns about form.
IMHO the bigger miss is Virgil's long ball threat with both feet, which makes it easier for our wide forwards to spread the opposition back line and buys space for our midfielders to progress the ball more quickly. Slow ball progression through the midfield makes the Liverpool attack much more predictable. Given the issues the Liverpool midfield have been suffering, this is my bigger concern.
If Matip was out, would have been a bigger blow than Van Dijk. Liverpool entire backline had been poor with or without Van Dijk and Matip have been their best defender
Benz vini and rodrygo licking their lips
Matip in, Virgil has been dogshit this season
It might make someone else stand up, could be a blessing in disguise.
I don't watch all of Liverpool's games so I wanted to ask Liverpool fans. For the past few seasons, I kept hearing from Liverpool fans that Matip was the most underrated defender in the premier league and that he was arguably the second best or top 5 centre backs in England but only getting overshadowed by VVD.
But somehow that sentiment has changed at the thought of him covering for VVD while he's injured. So is it because even Matip has lost his form over the last year or so, or am I mistaken about Liverpool fans having concerns over him?
Nobody gives credit to Matip. He gets injured sometimes but I have never seen him playing below average ever !
Not to worry, we still have robertson, konate, matip / Milner or Gomez with Trent…period 😃👌🏼
The fact that I love Liverpool because of him now he’s not playing 😢
trust me i dislike liverpool alot, and i think they were strong before season start, but tbh without united eyes i can really see the downfall here and it looks ugly. aging squad and mane loss and a striker that miss open goals 9/10 times. I would want to say that i feel for them, but i can't because pool fan base needs to come down to earth again, their shining moment is over now.
Why does everyone keep talking about midfielders protecting Liverpool defense? City only have Rodri protecting Stones and Ake.
Surely, the problem is somewhere else
good luck against Real Madrid!
Make no mistake about it, 80% of Liverpool's absolute " KEY " players r out 4 long term now n hav been 4 quite some time now … Salah n Ali r the only 2 battling it n Fabinho will get injured anytime now … At tis rate they won't have anything left but with a "C" Team with Gakpo left to even line up 4 a match 💯 ..
Not to big Virgil isn’t the same guy as years ago he’s way slower and playing lax a lot lately in the back. I hope for liverpools sake whoever steps in plays well.
