So enter Nat Philips.
All the calls to sell him, Yeh, let's just piss away our supposed "strength in depth" and let's sell Nat
Just don't play such a high line please.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

Well you can't just instantly go out and buy a replacement every time.
The worry is the other CBs are all very injury prone.
Did it go during his woeful attempt to sprint back that time? Looked like he'd lost all his pace.Comment

Without sounding too much like FB, i think i'm there with this team. It's the lack of effort that grates and a midfield well beyond its usefulness unless Thiago turns it on. Plus life sapping free time.
Although Gakpo will probably hit the ground running and we'll be edging games 7-6 or some ****.

He's been part of the problem this season and has been at about 60% of his usual level. He's been backing off attackers and failing to get blocks in or react quick enough. Maybe a spell out will do him some good.Always borrow money from a pessimist. He wonComment

He must be still recovering from that Pickford assault as he has been nowhere near his old levels. Getting older of course, but some of his 1 on 1 defending has been Traoresque at times. Still, not helped by zero protection from midfield...Well documented elsewhere on here, but all about the midfield imo.Substance > StyleComment

I do think his decline relative to the ridiculous standards he set is also part of the problem.
3-4 years ago he single-handedly stopped so many 1 on 1s and could recover quicker off the mark.
Still a very good player, still key to the squad but the rest of the defence don’t have the luxury of having that Virgil anymore.Y.N.W.A!!!!!!

This could be his downfall. He looks like he has never hard to work at being World class, Like Messi it's just all so natural to him.
As he naturally declines will he put the extra effort in to keep at the top?_____________________________________
Weak willed, Wank or do they have a masterplan?

I'd have thought he'd have kept a high standard until a decent old age but not sure now.
Given his age, big wages, ACL injury, 2 years left on his deal I don't think we can even flog him for a load of cash.
We just have to accept whatever version of him we are given.Comment
