Virgil van Dijk

[SB]

The GOAT centre back. Also nice that if anyone does somehow get through they have Alisson waiting.

The leader of the pack.

Alan Hansen reincarnate.

Better in the air than Hansen.

He's different class. I also thought Lovren was good as well tbf.

Said this before but VAn Dijk does for our defence what Suarez did for our attack and everyone seems to be up their game around him.

Can't disagree. I also can't remember catching teams offside so often.

Have we ever been in a position where we have three outstanding centre backs?

Keown suggesting VVD and Gomez could go on to become one of the best CB partnerships in PL history.

A bit before my time but it's good to know that we're back in that position!

[Liverpool]

When teams defend so deep, our centre backs are the ones setting the tempo and he's so slow and calm it can take all the intensity out of the game, was a stroll for first hour. I'm not sure if its a deliberate act to slow the game the down, and hit them later on, almost shortening the game and work required. Feels like it will come unstuck sooner rather than later.

[danperkins]

The best CB in the world, no question.

[Shaggy]

We all knew he was good but I think he's a lot better than any of us even expected. I can't get over how good he is

yeah he’s really upped his game with us. So many decent players stall when they go to a big club from the expectations & such but Virg has handled it better than most.

He is the player Lovren thinks he is
