Topic: Virgil Van Dijk (Cpt)

[redbyrdz]

Needs to step up. He's the one who can sort our shitty defense out.

[andy07]

He plays like making a tackle and getting his knees dirty is somehow beneath him.

He seems to be strolling round the pitch functioning at 50% of his capability. Looks like the passion and drive has deserted him.  Really want him to look angry on the pitch.

[darragh85]

At his best he made his defensive partner also look world class. Not only is he not doing that but looking massively vulnerable himself.

Still disagree however with anyone that says he’s got one eye on the World Cup. You’d be questioning the man’s integrity.

not sure how else you explain that effort to block the shot for the winning goal tonight.

I think his positioning and awareness is off. He was never someone to fly into last ditch tackles, he was just in the right spot and there was no way past him.

[Chakan]

Really should have done so much better for their second.

He missed the last Euros through injury didn't he? This will be his last world cup as well

Not saying he's playing bad on purpose. He's just thinking twice before taking a risky stride or challenge

Then drop him.

He was imperious versus City but doesn’t look arsed most the time. That’s a give concern.

Totally agree.  Love to see the km stats for yesterday.  Gomez is rightly getting some stick on here but he looked like he ran at least double what VVD did.

See how he does in the World Cup with a functioning midfield in front of him and a confident defender beside him

[lgvkarlos]

All those years people were saying he doesn’t break a sweat

He had the midfield as his filter

He’s now taking on direct hits non stop same with Trent.

They aren’t superhuman.

We need midfielders who are going to do the work. Some want to but can’t anymore, some are thinking about the World Cup and some plain old don’t have the athleticism

Of course our midfield is a big problem, but it doesn't mean he is let off from basic defending.
Like Fab he doesnt know whether to stick or twist, both are so far from their normal level it's scary.

[redwillow]

Would sell in January for right price. We need cash for more hungry players, he looks as though he doesn’t wanna get his boots dirty let alone put a tackle in.

[El Lobo]

That might be the peak of RAWK. Maybe even surpassing ‘who the fuck is Baldrick?’ and ‘I heard it from a wrestler called Chris Jericho’

Maguire might be available in January.  We can't let an opportunity like that pass us by.

You're joking right? Please tell me you're joking...

You're not wrong. He doesn't want to end up like Jota.

[Ginieus]

He needs to be more aggressive. Comes across as too nice to play against and is not closing down enough.

Decision not to close down Sissoko worked in that moment against Spurs but he has got to close down more often this season.

Unfortunately not, our business model is sell to buy. Who do we have that we can sell? VVD, Trent, Salah?

We're not selling Virgil. That's insane.

Do fuck off! Sell Virgil.

And then pick up De Jong for Liverpool?

[Ghost Town]

Time to change the title.

There’s a few titles that needs changed on this forum. Mo salah- Best in the world

Fabinho goal machine is a hilarious one

I understand that being a supporter isn't for everyone.

[SamLad]

each day on RAWK I get a greater appreciation of the skills a lot of our supporters have.

not only are they world-class tacticians and talent spotters, in the last little while it's becoming clear that a whole bunch of them are able to read the minds of football players!

wow.

[jckliew]

His standards have really diminished.

[y2w902]

Let's see the reaction to the defending of that goal...

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Yeah you're both right,he's shit and we should sell him and buy Slabhead.

[Wabaloolah]

Yeah you're both right,he's shit and we should sell him and buy Slabhead.

he's on the market apparently, cheeky January bid?

[El Lobo]

I’ve heard rumours long ago that not every goal is a monumental fuck up from an individual and sometimes just a good bit of football from the opposition

[WhereAngelsPlay]

A triple A player so we have to be involved,can't just stand by and watch Everton hoover him up.

[SamLad]

cheeky as in "LFC bid $1.95" ?

sounds good to me. 

[Statto Red]

Virgil interview with Gary Neville, it's good too.

Considerably overpriced. They'd bite our hand off...
