Virgil van Dijk

[KingLeo10]

Liverpool under Klopp has achieved the same success as Atleti with Simeone. The only difference Simeone wasn't lucky enough to play Tottenham in a CL final, but he won one more league title, and that in a league against two of the best teams in the 21st century.

Both teams lost 2 CL finals against Real, only Atleti was much closer to winning both times. Both teams also play at their best when they are the underdog. If Liverpool is an all time great team, then so is 2014-2016 Atleti.

In fact, AM under Simeone has more signature wins in the CL.

2013-2014 Barca and Mourinho's Chelsea
2015-2016 MSN Barca and Pep's Bayern
2019-2020 Liverpool

For Pool, I can basically only think of Pep's City (great win) or Kovac's Bayern or EV Barca

That Roma team was world class.

Took prime Liverpool to the wire

So this is why he doesn't go for tackles or interceptions. He doesn't have fast reactions

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Did he even get a yellow for that? Hah

 

[Porque]

Everton guy got a red for trying to break Van Dijks foot with his shin. Despicable.

 

[fergus90]

Awful defending today for the third goal. His Liverpool form has dropped off a cliff this season.

 

[jamrock]

Impossible, he has no weaknesses.

But Klopp will never bench him.
That's the problem with him. That will be his downfall
He is sentimental and not ruthless enough in his decisions. Never benched Salah who was the worst player on the pitch for over a month.
He still trusts the finished likes of Milner, Boby Firmino and others.
No way he benches VVD...

That’s true. Konate looked very impressive last year too so more than capable to partner Matip.

The curse of the big contract with Salah.

Great game by him and Gomez yesterday.

Solid again.

What a player! Blessed to have seen every minute of his prime.

Still unbeaten in the league at home BTW. Absolute joke.

But Trent almost handed goals tonight again...
Whole Liverpool defence has to babysit him
LOL
