  1. people (mostly liverpool fans and pundits) still say he is the best ever. but
    real convo:
    friend: "He is the best defender in PL history!! media says so"

    me: "hmm I am repectfully disagree, Terry, Ferdinand, Vidic, Thuram, Stam were better imo"

    friend: "they were not!!"

    me: "they faced prime Henry, Drogba, Rooney, Torres, etc. who are the striker he faced?"

    friend: "Haaland, KDB"

    me: "fair enough, who else?"

    friend: "ugh… Kane, Son"

    me: "good one, who else?"

    friend "uhhh"

    me: "rashford, martial, lukaku? pffft yes I don't think I will change my mind, Van Dijk is overated because he made liverpool got their long awaited league trophy since 1990"

  2. so a defender can not jockey and who says he does not put in a tackle every defender has their style was it not working well for him this years not every oen would be sliding like deligt or being aggressive as rudiger

  3. you should only do that when youre 1v1 and wait to get near youre box so if the the attacker dose make a ugly dribble then youre goalkeeper will be able to run and make a tackle of get the ball but also when you want to slow the guy down so that youre teamates can get back into their position so then you can do the tackle

  4. Maldini: if i had to make a tackle that means i made a mistake.
    VVD has been terrible this season but to say he hasn't been one of the greatest defenders the prem ever saw is just dumb.
