Cant believe we gave him the captaincy tbh would upgrade him in a heartbeat me with Bastoni from Inter what a player he is.
No Liverpool fans are worried about Van Dijk. Everyone is worried about the quality of your clickbait journalism.
Liverpool will win the league. The body language of Klop, Salah and the rest of the older boys is to win the league and nothing less. City is not an obstacle for me and everyone will see it by December. Anything short of the title will be a bad season for Klop. It's a must win whether Van Dhyk steps up or not. We have the new players who are ready to support the defense to hold on to a win in every game.
These guys couldnt predict a drunk in a bar.
I think Liverpool will beat Man City this season to get the title and Man Utd will be relegated.
Guess which club I support? 😛
I disagree Steve!!!
Salah and Van Dijk contract expires in august 2025. Klopp must find another right winger and defender on 2024 for their replacement.
Dijk is not the same again, he has been struggling and not only him but the back 4
Worried about him for what? Virgil has started the season in very good form
Whoever said he washed need to shut up
Vvd has been very good this season. This is bandwagon behaviour.
I don’t know why these EXPERTS think it’s a forgone conclusion that city wins this league easily.
City having such a depth is a myth now. Arsenal have a better squad. City just added an undercooked Doku to replace Mahrez
Gundo will never be replaced. It's not the same
Why do you so called pundits,like to look down on liverpool,city got rid off players too,I don't think will be as efficient last season plus there are some teams that will cause them problems a couple draws and it will be open to two or three teams to take it.i am Liverpool and every year I think we have a chance to win.
Let's gooo.
Bad take given it's 1.5 games, but I kind of think Liverpool have played better without Van Dijk. Similar to how I also thought Brazil played better in 2018 WC without Neymar. Going to have to see a few more games to decide if the Villa game was a one-off dominance or it was the team just getting better as they play more together.
Lastly, City may very well win the tile, but for me they don't look invincible so far. They can and probably will find form and be formidable, but 2 points is nothing at this point. For me, all three (City, Liverpool and Arsenal) are in the title hunt at this point. Should be a fun season.
Its not just Van Dijk, Robertson isn't the same either as he is getting older now and its becoming harder for him to keep that engine up that he has had. Trent has been a problem in defence for a while now, but I do think he is working hard on it and I wonder if he will defend at CB more often, as he played really well there against Villa.
Liverpool’s midfield revamp has helped their defense greatly they are conceding a lot less goals
Arsenal aren't any of our worries. They had one good season and are back to where they belong. Liverpool just need to win 1 game at a time and maybe this time, the lesser quad is for the taking
I mean…they've only given up 3 goals in which 2 were bad plays by Trent
Van dijk is slower than Maguire after his knee injury.Its hard to believe how slow van dijk runs now
Jordan Prickford ruined VVD and got off scot-free.
Mark as usual delusional
Liverpool will win the PL title this season, trust me.
We have good Defense as soon as Van Dijk doesn’t play.
5th place
Be sure to eat your words come end of the season
I feel this is VVD and Salah's last season at Liverpool. Hopefully Klopp can find suitable world class replacements.
Old fart should learn how to correctly pronounce the name of the best LFC player this season
Stevie is right. I have the same opinion. Back in the days I remember no one dribbled past VVD in one and a half seasons. But now it looks so easy for other teams to get past him. It's a concern.
I still back him. Pls get up to speed!
What is Steve talking about. Two out of three goals conceded by Liverpool this season have been Trent's errors. Virgil is just being made the scapegoat because of that red card which in my opinion was a very close call. It is TAA that we should worry about more. He had a wonderful showing against Aston villa but that does not change the fact that 66% of our goals conceded this season have been because of his errors
If Endo, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai bring their international form with them, Liverpool could have the best midfield in the league.
Not everyone, just the media. I'll worry when Klopp starts to worry
Steve Nicol telling lies for what a 3 minute clip 😂
How is manc better than last season? they have weakened significantly..
Doku<Mahrez
Kovacic < Gundagon
Gvardiol < Laporte (Laporte is a proven consistent performer)
Nunes < KDB
Losing key players and still people think they had the best transfer window.
Literally not one person in Liverpool is worried about van Dijk. He’s been back to his best in preseason and the 2 full games he’s played.
Stevie complaining about the backline. They’ve conceded THREE. 2nd least in the league, behind city. With 90 mins with 10 men. My god. He’s such a whiner.
Every team gives up chances, including city.
City have lost De Bryne for a while. Lose Haaland for a few months and it could make a difference.
As a LFC fan, we're kind of in the dark about how far we can go. It's looking good for our new midfield but it's a sense of we will have to see what this team is really capable of. I think if you ask most Liverpool fans, they're probably very happy at the current moment.
Gosh i really dont like that negative old fart.
I think Liverpool still need a strong CD cover as Matip, Gomez and Konute all 3 are injury prone. As well as a right full back
Man said everyone is worried, no one is worried about our captain, you are just deluded
Interesting move here putting a basketball guy (Cuff) with the soccer guys… not bad..
VVD. 😍😍😍
