was at one of the Dutch u17 games in the eurod last month as it was literally on next door to me, they had an animal ofa striker brobery I think he was called, wouldn't be surprised if he made the step up in the few years.

Brian Brobbey? Seems to be generating some attention from his youth team numbers at Ajax. Scored 26 in 24 U17 games then stepped up to the U19s and scored 34 in 36

[oxenstierna]

You dont punish someone dutch or otherwise for that

[Dim Glas]

Winjaldum isn't getting booed is he? Actually met a few in Porto as I am here after being in Madrid, some look like they just come out of prison!

Gini's low key, and generally un-appreciated outside of Liverpool and the Netherlands!  Those idiots wouldn't appreciate how good he is. But they know that Virgil is the best, and he plays for the team they hate. There is no logic to their stupidity though of course!

[vicar]

Is that really a yellow?

[Magix]

Only basing off the CL semis and this game so far, but De Light looks ropey against pace.

[cdav]

Don't think that was as bad a tackle as Neville is making out, just came together in the air and landed awkwardly. Was a foul and not much more

[Upinsmoke]

This England team is shit

[smicer07]

Booing Van Dijk 😂 😂

“Closing his eyes...get him off”
I suspect that may have been part of the test Gary

[Reese]

Geez. Gotta love the intelligence of players there.

Just wiped out, then takes the free kick AND heads the ball.

[Dim Glas]

Frenkie De Jong looks the part, he really does. But yeah, so far from limited viewing De Ligt is looking a bit ropey at the moment!

Gini's having a good game in that midfield too, he's all over the pitch.

[jillcwhomever]

The Dutch are awful in the final third.

[vicar]

I'm sure they were booing Gini too

[The 1989 Brit Awards]

Feel bad for Van Dijk, Gini and even good players like F. De Jong or De Ligt: it seems they're stuck with an unadulterated shite player like Depay up top.

[Bincey]

I'm sure they were booing Gini too

They definitely were earlier on.

apparently we want to buy him...

[phil236849]

This booing shows the jealousy towards #6.  We are going to have some fun!

[Yosser0_0]

I can understand if it was was Everton, United or desperate city fans. But why would Burnely, Portsmouth or Brentford fans want to boo Virgil? Makes no sense. Thankfully, it also confirms that no Liverpool fans support England and are at the game.

I've seen flags with Shrewsbury Town, Torquay United amongst others ffs. 

I mean, talk about Village of the Damned, I'm surprised they know how to leave the country in the first place!

[elsewhere]

So how do you like De Ligt thus far?

That’s getting a bit Bonnie Tyler like

I don't really get why you're surprised. A lot of the England support has always come from the lower division teams. They are also the ones who probably see less foreign players, so they don't get the attachment that we get with them.

Neville and his organ grinder reading from the script.

[jillcwhomever]

I think he's pretty overrated myself, he was never the Ajax player I was most impressed with.

[10 years on]

yeah that's the one, massive unit.

Robin Bairner: No Liverpool move for Memphis Depay, according to L'Equipe. Everton more interested but not prestigious enough for him. Could stay in Lyon as a result.

[Dazzer23]

I’ve watched De Light quite closely in the last few months and I would say there is probably only Delli Alli that touches him in the ‘worlds most over rated player’ category.

Also,  but with Big V and Gini out there playing against a Man City/Leicester combined 11, I am the only one that is finding themselves quietly cheering on the Dutch?!

[elsewhere]

I think he's pretty overrated myself, he was never the Ajax player I was most impressed with.

That's what i feel too, he seems a bit careless and he may struggle in the PL. Still a very good young player but not for that crazy amount that's being talked about.

[Peabee]

I think he's pretty overrated myself, he was never the Ajax player I was most impressed with.

He’s got a lot of potential.

Not prestigious enough? The blues were the first club to have undersoil heating Memphis.

[Dim Glas]

I don't.

And even if I did, I don't see the need for Liverpool to go for him.   

[jillcwhomever]

He’s got a lot of potential.

So have other young footballers though, for the amount of money he will cost this summer I think there is better value out there.

[Peabee]

Not prestigious enough? The blues were the first club to have undersoil heating Memphis.

And ham sandwiches.

[12C]

I don't.

And even if I did, I don't see the need for Liverpool to go for him.

Not a patch on what we have in Gomez Matip or even Lovren

[DelTrotter]

He's good in the air and shouts and points a lot, so stuff to work with for sure but I'm certainly not seeing what's meant to be a "generational talent" about him.

[Andar]

Brian Brobbey? Seems to be generating some attention from his youth team numbers at Ajax. Scored 26 in 24 U17 games then stepped up to the U19s and scored 34 in 36

Gravenberch is another one with a bit of hype behind him.

[The 1989 Brit Awards]

So how do you like De Ligt thus far?

I'd love it if we got him, save for the fatty c*nt Raiola.

[Tesco tearaway]

The Dutch with three current and ex LFC players on the starting XI as well, compared to none for the England team. Oranje!

Boom! 

[jillcwhomever]

Exactly, when you think of how good Gomez looked with Van Dijk earlier on I see nothing that would make me take the leap for him.
