Topic: Virgil Van Dijk (Cpt)

[paulrazor]

There is no one like that around, and isn't Lovren and Matip back soon anyway?

Matip due back early january per klopp, no return set for degsy yet

[Red Beret]

It's hard to tell when someone's ripping the piss out of you over not being very funny when you're not very funny.

"Klopp’s options in defence were severely limited with Virgil van Dijk missing through illness. The influential centre-half did some fitness work on Thursday but not a proper training session and is being monitored. "

He had a session today

[Clayton Bigsby]

Tomkins should lighten up a little bit. We still won afterall.

[Jm55]

Jesus.

Someone needs to chill the con carne out!

[ToneLa]

Phew!

Good news on Matip at least.

[duvva 💅]

Great news that Virgil will be fit tomorrow. Makes a massive difference especially when you’ve only got one other fit CB

[macmanamanaman]

He's alive.

Practicing his punching.

Maybe him and Alisson swap places in the final, showcase their tactical flexibility.

[Eeyore]

He had a session today

Unfortunately it was a Paul McGrath session.





 15 pints and 11 whiskey chasers.

[Peabee]

The usual "It was just a joke" response is the blue ticked Twitter equivalent of putting up a fishing rod out when they've just got owned.

Yep. He wasn’t joking. He was just making a lazy comment with little thought.

[Ghost Town]

Yep. He wasn’t joking. He was just making a lazy comment with little thought.

He was clearly joking and if anything it was a compliment to Van Dijk.

Christ, the absurd sensitivity of you lot sometimes !

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Lineker is a bitter c*nt

[Rhi]

There's literally nothing wrong with what Lineker has said, there. Our fans are embarrassing sometimes.

  Virgil still wouldn't match up to big Paul 

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Lineker is a jug eared crisp twat

[aw1991]

And he ended up being the bigger man in this.

It was a painstakingly obvious joke.

[davealexred]

It’s no coincidence that since he signed we have now become world beaters.

Colossus and our most important player by a margin.

[Sinyoro]

It wasn’t a joke, he was having a dig and got called out. Tough

[Fromola]

Lineker posts these winds ups knowing they'll get a response. With his millions of followers they become parroted as fact by the masses like Keys and Gray used to.

It was a bit ignorant because it wasn't just Van Dijk missing, we had our DM missing as well as every other centre back option bar Gomez. We had midfielders at centre back and right back. No Henderson, Fabinho, Milner or Wijnaldum in midfield. We had little prep time for the game in a different climate with a completely patched up team. Tomkins was right to add context to an easy narrative.

[Samie]

The fuck is Virgil doing when Bobby got the winner? 

[elbow]

The fuck is Virgil doing when Bobby got the winner? 

Stick to be being the best defender in the universe Virgil lad. Bobby will take care of the karate kicks thank you very much!

Fuck's sake. It was a gag. You really go around adding context when your mates make gags? Great fun you must be. I can hear the Mr Bean voice you use...''Actually, I think you'll find...'' 

[The 1989 Brit Awards]

Lineker seems an ok dude. I don't think everyone outside Liverpool is hellbent staining us at every minute.

Virgil doing an impression of Mane doing a Bobby!

[BarryCrocker]

Mowing down the opposition yet again.

[jooneyisdagod]

I know this is early as 2019 just ended but on his current form, I think he could be in the running for the Ballon D'or again. He's just that impervious at the moment. He's definitely the best defender I've seen in my lifetime.

[MNAA]

Imperious. Stupendous. Fabulous. Ridiculous.

Smith. Hughes. Thompson. Hansen. Lawrenson. These were our great central defenders during our dominant 70's and 80's. But Virgil top them all. The greatest Liverpool central defender ever. The greatest signing ever.

The "great" Jamie Vardy swatted like a fly in both games ...

[Ray K]

It is now the 2nd anniversary of the club announcing Virgil's signing and all our lives started to improve immeasurably.

If we had stuck a 1 to the front of his transfer fee it would still have been cheap.

[kasperoff]

Still remember thinking it couldn't be true when it broke that he'd chosen to join. What a coup it was to sign this fella.

[RedSamba]

two years ago today.. he's been alright

Imagine Van Dijk next to Hansen in either era. I doubt they would have to make more than a couple of tackles each in a game. They'd both just be in the right place at the right time.

One of my favourite things about watching us play the last couple of seasons has been watching the way Van Dijk conducts events around him. He's constantly talking, pointing out the danger, pointing out the opportunities.

He's like a swan gliding effortlessly around the pitch because out of site his brain is paddling like fuck.

[Ziltoid]

That fucking backheel yesterday though.

[rowan_d]

His reading of low crosses into the box is unbelievable

[Tesco tearaway]

Mowing down the opposition yet again.

He's big!
He's fast!
He'll even cut yer grass!
VVD! VVD!

He must go down as the best signing we ever made. At the time many opposition fans said that he was over-priced but now they would all love him on their team.

I think in the premier league era it is not a discussion.

Not old enough to talk about before then

Plus football didn’t really exist before this era anyway.

I was just thinking about the likes of King Kenny, Souness, Rush etc. Unbelievable signings.
