The best ever in PL era. Just straight facts
I would say in terms of ability and individual quality, he is the best in the PL and probably the best the league has ever seen. In terms of ranking him against the best in the league, it’s difficult because he hasn’t won the league enough. Football is of course a team sport, and Terry, Ferdinand etc had better teams around them for longer periods and were in the dominant teams of those eras. I would say he is in the top 5 best defenders because of that. In terms of overall ability, however, he is probably the best.
And people don't believe us fans when we say he's just as good or even better than these Prem legends. The facts speak for themselves.
Community Shield does not count.
Vir-gil Van is a big Dutch man… 😁
Robertson
The best. Period.
He’s honestly the best CB of all time, how can anyone argue against that?
2:40 we all know that turn by Mane for the goal against Bayern Munich
He is perfect. The only problem is his age. He should leave Liverpool for real madrid and try get some more trophies before he retires
VVD haters shock me, if you know the game and how its played. You can tell he is the best.
Terry VVD Ferdinand kompany Stam Vidic is my order. And VVD is only one not finished yet
Absolute monster of a player. Need to keep him after Klopp leaves just to ease the transition
Player of the season so far for me
He's one of the best CB in premier league history but he isn't THE best.
vvd had one of the best peaks ive ever seen on a cb hes def top 15 all time
The GOAT
Van dijk signed in 2017 not 2019
Many people praising VVD were writing him off last season
"They thought I was finished" 🥶 🥶 🥶
Not sure you can argue that he’s not number 1 in the premier league. Stats and subjective appraisal with awards and rankings between other players positions (second to Messi) no one else can boast that
Not one the best the best Terry Ferdinand maldini vvd took it to new level not basied genuine best I have ever seen
Facts don't lie.
You'll never get people to agree on individual rankings so take it like this if we took the whole history of football and all greatest defenders of all time and put them into lets say a tier forget individual ranking but a tier VVDs in the very top tier where maybe 10 players or so are he's that good elite doesn't do him justice once in a lifetime player.
Had a slight dip after the ACL (still baffled why Pickford wasn't sent off) but he's certainly back to his best this season. Imagine he never had that injury, his numbers would be even better!
Rolls Royce
The best ever in the premiership for sure
Pundits still haven’t figured out that EVERY Liverpool player is as important as the other….its a team game. That’s why Man Utd are so bad nowadays….
I was really worried about how we would cope without the leadership of hendo and milly but virg has proper stepped up as a great captain!
Greatest premier league Cb ever its not even debate.
It’s funny we’ve had about 7-8 “most important players”, it’s VVD, then it’s Salah, then it’s Alisson, then it’s Trent, before that it was Fabinho, it was Mane, it was Firmino 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🐐
He is already the best premier league center back ever. No Debate. Stats back it.
Klopps kids!!!!!
Yes I think he’s the best CB in EPL history
