Hope the report is true. Would be very sensible of Van Dijk to sign a 2yr deal where everyone wins.

We've been talking about Van Dijk's contract but forget that he has been immense this season (bar 1 or 2 games).

TBF, that's why we've been talking about his contract...because he's been immense.

Definitely need to get his contract sorted.

He is the Key for me.


Keep him fit till the end of the Season and we be winning everything with any luck!

In Supreme form.

Salah is the key for me. Saka out months. I dont think we would survive without Mo, his goals, his assists and influence.

Virg obviously is the lynchpin at the back. Captain and leader. Need them both to stay fit and play every game.

You look at Virg and say, who can be as cool and composed and controlling in that backline as Virg? Not Quansha and I love Joe but can't trust his body.

Look at Mo and you think, who could at least do a job out there?  ...u have Elliott, u have Chiesa, can swing Jota, Nunez, Lucho or Gakpo in there. Options I know that are no where near what Mo provides, I get that, but look at the differences in options we have, if God forbid, one of those 2 got injured.



EDIT: I'm going to wash my mouth out now aftyer typing that last sentence.

Virgil is the glue keeping this team together...if he doesn't play they're all over the place.

The greatest!

Class.

This isn't true, even without Virg we are among the best in Europe, in no way would we collapse without him. And I think VVD is the best CB of all time.

He's a cheat code.

After he felt the force from him early on, he didn't want to know and got himself subbed....the stupid tw*t.

It is my opinion, and so it's "True" to me...you not sharing my opinion doesn't make it less true. He's definitely the best CB we've had since Hanson....of all time?.... truthfully how would it be possible to ever know?

You haven't said why we would fall apart. Since he plays in almost every game the evidence is very thin anyway.

Of all time is a big claim, I know. Beckenbauer, Baresi, Nesta, Bobby Moore etc - I just think VVD exceeds them all in physicality, and he doesn't have a single weakness. Baresi and Nesta played in very defensively orientated teams, and the others are too far back for meaningful comparison. The closest in the modern game is Rio Ferdinand, but Virgil is better in every single metric.

I think he's indispensable as a player and leader, so just grateful he's fit and able to contribute as regularly as we need. When he was subbed off before the end tonight I thought great, the big man has another 5/10 mins rest!

The way we play is helping to reduce the risk of injury, but so is his own individual intelligence about when to exert energy, when to urge other players to keep the ball a bit better, how to avoid unnecessary situations. Control of the ball, of the rhythm of our play and the kind of situations we put ourselves in affects injury risk/longevity and we are managing that very well so far.

Class that he came off so he could get that ovation from the crowd. Not sure he’s had that before?

He is some player this man.

Our greatest ever CB?

Our skipper….👊🏼
