Virgil van Dijk Player Thread (D)

With the performances he and Robertson turned in, should have had a clean sheet to go with his goal. Loved the strength to hold off Niasse (I think) in the last few minutes when the ball was played across our six yard box. And the fist pump after it.

Great debut.

The lad's a F***ing Roller.

Just come away from the ground

I'd pay 75m for just that

👏👏👏👏👏

The way he kept screaming at Karius being an idiot during play turned me on.... future captain.

After 1st game

Call me Vvvd.

Well done lad

 

Honestly just give him the armband already

About time we had someone in our back line with a voice.Toure did it part time, been a bit quiet otherwise, since Carra left.

Just seen his stats from the game, only on Twitter so might not be completely accurate.

5 Aerial Duels won (more than anyone)
79 Touches (Second most on the pitch)
2 Shots on target (More than anyone)
1 Goal.
2 Interceptions (Most for Liverpool)
62 Passes (More than anyone on the field)
4 Long Passes (More than anyone for Liverpool)

Fantastic that. Didn't spot that but that is exactly what we need...

as well as scoring a late winner at home, in front of the Kop against our city rivals.

Was cracking me up.
Giving our own keepers nightmares.

On their goal, is it me or did he tell Karius where to go? Looked like he pointed to the side Sigurdson put it

Owned it!

Owned it!

Yeh but it really looked like he was trying too hard.......

To stay awake 🤘

Spare a thought for Dejan Lovren must have hated Van Dijk winning more headers in one match than he has all season.

On the Karius thing he done with a few times, just shielded the ball so he could come and kick it but he was a bit too slow every time haha

With Can apparently on his way and underperforming since his head was turned by Juve ... then Virgil for El Capitano is a No Brainer.

This.

75 m ?   A steal.

Really looked the part didn't he, and we got to see his leadership qualities right off the bat. Interesting to see Matip get the nod alongside him and it looks like they will be Klopps number one partnership. However, I still think Klavan might be a better foil. A few have suggested Gomez but for me the lad is still a bit too casual on the ball to be trusted at centre-half as yet.

Scoring the goal will do him the world of good and immediately releases some of the pressure that comes with the fee. He'll score a few more if Ox can keep delivering them like that as well.

What dreams are made of.

Score the winner against the Bitters in front of the Kop in your first ever LFC game. Brilliant.

May there be many, many more goals from him to come.

We look different at attacking set pieces already.

He's alright this guy, ain't he?

Forget the header and the defending, the way he camd in here and was like “follow my lead and get in line” is what we have been missing. Damn I’m pleased for this signing. 

Cheers to the start of something beautiful, boys....
