What a legend. What a player when fit.

Incredibly underrated.

[Charly]

Id have kept him on a pay as you playbackup.

[Kenneth]

That’s the same as retiring.

Makes sense, LFC legend and he’d pretty much won it all as far as the club game goes in England.

One of the best CBs I’ve seen at playing out from the back, possibly the best dribbling CB ive seen

Matip and VvD with peak Trent and Robbo. Ali in behind. Good shout for best backline, certainly since the mid 80s

Those mazy runs were great to watch but I don't think one ever resulted in a chance or goal

There was this, though admittedly he starts from just inside his own half rather than from the edge of his own box.

There were loads of times he was able to draw pressure away from players ahead of him by going on a surprise run and laying it off. Was very handy against bus Parkers.

Obviously because he was a CB, not many were creating chances or goals but he progressed play very well. He did also have the assist to Origins CL goal

It was always great to watch
