So they are dumb enough not to partner him with Van Dijk
Virgil doesn’t like the right and he still has his well earned status. VDV has plenty of time on his side.
Great video
Micky is far superior to Ake
As an overall player you can argue that, but outside of Bastoni, I struggle to think of a better player for that LCB role than Ake. VDV still needs to improve his distribution; it’s functional, but West Ham exposed his weaknesses because they closed off Romero’s options and left it to him. In that area, Ake and Blind have him beat.
He’s a diamond, but he still needs polishing and it’s ok to admit that.
I'd be worried that the net would burst if I was behind the goal for shots like that!
Why doesn’t he like the right?
Wonder what happens when the dippers look to flip Van Dijk this summer?
They did? West Ham I mean.
I saw VDV dribble past wham players and start attack’s multiple times
He plays off the left for Liverpool. Probably used to it.
Does that mean he can’t play RCB if there is a superior athlete coming through with a left foot?
He probably can but he's the best Dutch player by a significant margin, their captain and they have good centre backs.
As good as VDV is they're not going to disrupt things just for him. I'm sure he will earn his spot in time.
Yeah most likely the case but VDV is already their second best defender. The combo of Van Dijk heading and tackling everyone with VDV mopping up behind… they could defend with a back 2
I bet he starts. VVD can easily shift to the right, two world class CB’s that would moonwalk into Southgate’s shitshow
Southgate would start VVD/Stones.
He ain’t dropping that northern oaf, Maguire
if he can improve in the air he has the tools to be a top 3 CB in the world. problem is then madrid probably come sniffing about.
Is he already more important than Romero?
we will find out when drag has to step in for romero and partner VDV. he looks like the most important player in the team right now due to his ability to get back from the halfway line so quick. lets see what it looks like when radu steps in and we lose romeros qualities.
