vvd is an absolute monster of a player, he's got everything! a true liverpool legend. He has all the attributes of leadership and quallity. I watch all the games and can't believe how good his passing is, his pin point long range passes from the back to salah or diaz or gakpo are just incredible and he does it week in week out.
There are some in the media who get paid to speak the opposite of what the zeitgeist is in order to create talking points in the comments sections and have mofos arguing back and forth over frivolous matters. I'm beginning to believe these things are scripted.
He didn’t see it when Virgil won 2nd in Balon d’Or behind Messi, UEFA player of the year, led a defense to 97 and 99 point seasons and won a league and CL but in the last 2 (prob the worse of Virgil’s tenure at LFC) he’s now seeing it 😂
@@sinan_3384 Van Dijk level never dropped. That's what these 'experts' like to spout in order to look like they know what they're talking about. The common narrative is that he wasn't the same after the big injury. The reality is that he came back from that injury and led FSG Liverpool during the non-Quadruple season. The whole FSG Liverpool team were poor the following season (due to FSG not seeing that the midfield needed upgrading and trying to cheap their way to another UCL qualification, which didn't work). Despite all that, Van Dijk was FSG Liverpool best player. He was FSG Liverpool best player last season as well.
to be fair, zat knight is no more random than craig burley, mario melchiot or shaka hislop. he probably has more premier league apperences than all of them.
Proper analyst that Zat Knight. Didn’t quite see where Virgil was the best defender in the world in his peak between 2017 and 2022 but the last two seasons (arguably his worst but still at a high level) he’s now seen it 😂😂 Where does ESPN find these people?
I am glad to see that Liverpool players are able to display such a amazing performance when it’s needed. They were fully focused during RM and city game and played very beautiful football ❤
Media and too many Liverpool fans: we need signings Slot: No I don't Media: he tweaked a great squad he inherited Reality: Slot turned a team with 3 key players out of contract, recipe for drama, and a midfield considered average at best into a oiled machine and made every single player play better and turned Klopps heavy metal (kick and rush 2.0) into Slot Ball (total football 4.0) in just a few months, much much more to come
Fair and I’d say we also let things take it’s course with the contracts of the three horsemen. I’ve learned to trust Liverpools management and Slot with team and contracts decisions. At least more then I trust random fans and the media.
@ Yea I know that, Slot knew that but media and too many fans forgot about that, thats the whole point, they did not think that there must be more in them, Arne did
Total football 😂 lets not get carried away in the prem barring games against city and man utd, you havent looked remotely good, palace brighton arsenal chelsea should have minumum got at least a point out of those games if not more, the other games you havent exactly been great either, its the worst PL season in a long time and slot and lpool are taking advantage of it, so well done to lpool
Halaand is on holiday already. Spent half the game laughing and joking with LFC players. He knows the season is over, and the 115 are coming. League 2 next year for Manchester Cheaty.
I think the best part about slot and our players is the versatility, he changes players and tactics every game, it makes us undpredictable, the chemistry between the team is so good too, there’s a healthy competition and it seems like the players are hungry, I love how with slot he can change it team for team, if we’re playing a low block he’ll play players and tactics better suited for that, and in the big games he makes the right decisions every time.
Is Stevie and ESPN ever going to give credit to Salah? There would have been entire segments claiming he’s the best in PL history if he had a British passport.
@pepguardiola3767 Salah is Egyptian and an Arab. People already forget how different the climate was in just 2017 when he broke through at Liverpool as an Arab. He wasn’t marketable with the Western mainstream media for years simply because he’s Arab. The bias is real in the Western media whether people realize it or not. But he’s massive in the Arab world and is a cultural icon in Egypt.
@Photosoflife Egyptians are not Arabs......they speak Arabic, but they are a different race and culture.....it's a bit like saying the Irish are English......
@@panchopuskas1 Egyptians are very much Arabs. The only true Arabs are Saudis. But the modern use of the term is equivalent to saying White or Europeans. And you’re talking to someone partnered with an Arab FYI.
@panchopuskas1 I’m very well aware of that. Most groups that are called Arab are not genetically Arab. It’s like calling an Irish person "Caucasian" when the Caucuses are thousands of miles away from Ireland. I’m very well aware of the modern use of the term Arab and the nuances of the word.
@Photosoflife If you're soo well aware, then why then call him something that he isn't? Make it make sense. You don't lose anything by just admitting you were wrong and move on.
Slot makes players go up in value. He did it at AZ, he did it at Feyenoord and he is doing it at Liverpool. He only needs a couple of months. Its really amazing.
Sure, it has been a little frustrating that he has been uneven this season, but when we consider that his peak is likely 3-4 years in his future...the situation looks a little different.
Zack whoooooo talking s*** VVD wasn't the best in the world before injury, it took you the last 2 years to say yes. First, who are you again? Second, never mind.
I agree with Pep Gravenberch would be a monster in the 10. Get Zubi as our 6, and have Zobo, Jones and Mac fight for the two 8’a and put Gravenberch in the 10. Or Rayan Cherki in the 10
This is a message for Mario Melchiot. Kijk naar Rondo van maandag 2 dec. Alex Pastoor verklaart op een uitstekende wijze waarom Arne Slot de absolute top is en vertel dat in deze show. Succes
Every rival says "see how Liverpool fair when they start picking up injuries"......... Liverpool have injuries now..... Konate out, Tsimikas out, Alisson out, Jota out, Elliot out Bradley out and until the City game, Trent out.
Liverpool will still beat barcelona trust no team will comtend with this Liverpool team. They are scary good and will demolish Barcelona when the face each other.
ESPN FC-We already had a match reaction to Liverpool beating City yesterday. Including already getting Stevie’s thoughts. Why are your producers constantly recycling the same content day after day on here? Do you guys need new ideas? Because there are so many options to talk about that you all keep ignoring.
@TK-xt1it False assumption. I greatly enjoy watching Liverpool and have for years. I’m talking about this show constantly recycling the same stories for days at a time. Their producers need to have a serious rethink about the format of this show. You’re bantering nonsense at the expense of me talking about something very different
@@Photosoflife Because milking the same popular contents is an easier, safer, and effective enough way to generate views. This video is also riding the city-is-falling bus, so it is even easier and safer.
People from Amsterdam, like Monkou, are really not interested in anything but from Amsterdam. Gravenberch is from Amsterdam so there you have his opinion. Van Dijk is from the southern city of Breda.
This team is good more composed but they still not lethal enough and not clinical enough the the final 3rd, the 18/19/20 Liverpool were abut better in that department with Mane Booby and Salah.. they smacked a top form city 3-0 before halftime and that was peak city, this city team right now is bang out of form and confidence
If you let him go. This will be your last title for at least 3 years. Bcz you gonna lose the team shape. He has still ability for three years service for Liverpool.
VVD can play 4 or 5 seasons more cause remember he has no pace so isn’t like he’s can lose his pace and he’s going to slow down, he plays with intelligent player who uses his head simply
Yet still no mention whatsoever of the man involved in over 70% of all Liverpool goals this season... They must've been all falling from a tree or sthing!
Vvd missing two good headed chances he needs to score more, but then again as a CB his been programmed to head the ball away from goal not towards the goal, so can see why he doesn't take the headed chances he gets that often, his having to get away from all his basic instincts as a CB not easy at all, unlike a CF who has been mentally programmed to hit the ball towards the goal.
Abit OTT with the reactions, lpool facing one of the worst city teams in recent memory, lets not forget spurs won 4-0 at the etihad a few weeks ago, sporting a week before that 4-1
Everything at liverpool is down to the slot machine he's doing everything It's clear u guy only get time to watch highlights slots DNA all over this team
@SteveNicol is so anti arsenal and its very obvious....suddenly he can say that the reason why city is loosing is because they have injury crisis forgetting how much they have invested in that team, he said Arsenal shouldnt use injuries as excuse for underperforming when odegaard and likes were out injured or when arsenal players were down to 10men....so why should injuries be an excuse....Pep is the best, he should fins a way, play differéntly, get creative.....and stop being stubborn by playing the same way......he should look inwards.....teams have always prepared for such scenarios from the beginning of the season and thats why city invested in depth....its just simple, they have been found out......pep should improvise ...he is the best afterall....😅
😄😄😄 Liverpool have been good but not quite sure if Arsenal had Odegaard, Caliafori, Saliba and not Partey right back, they would have been beaten that day. They conceded 2 goals against a weakened Arsenal
How can you genuinely watch virgil van dijk play football and not come away thinking hes the best. There has never been a defender ever with his attributes frame mentality all at once..
It's like arsenal I thought it was suppose to be their season star 🌟 boy saka go MISSING against Chelsea what did he do fraining injuries limping off donkey 🫏 he's shite 🤣

Imagine Maldini and VVD in their prime in the same defense…that side would start the match up 1-0.
Moving Gravenberch into the DM position was a masterstroke. He looks like a 100ml signing. That is not a tweak, its a masterstroke. 👌
