      Didn't stevie miss a pen v portugal in the euros once ? By your logic iker casillas was a sh*t captain for spain, puyol for Barcelona etc because they didn't take pens. I am becoming more convinced you actually enjoy winding people up
      Gerrard was a good penalty taker most of the time, most good captains usually take good penalties with the exception of goalkeepers and defenders.

      flipping the bird at the goalie before taking the pen helps.

      VVD is as contagious as his hideous name suggests!!! I cannot express my admiration for this guy anymore than posting my first comment on this forum dedicated to the big man. I haven’t felt a signing have this much impact on our team or for myself personally in a long, long time! The debate on him being a worldie isn’t even fair on him...Crack any CB pairing in the world and he’d take either position...he’d walk straight in and improve it instantaneously...withou t ego and with full ethic....Top,top world class professional

      How many challenges did he win today against those two Orcs up front?

      The way he marshals the back 4 to win so many offside decisions.

      What a colossus, Johnny Cash could only dream of being as cool.

      cool on the ball, cool in defense and strong at everything else.

      Proper leader.

      Didn't think VVD had a MOTM game, but seems like a lot are talking up his performance! Will definitely re-watch and keep an eye out rather than concentrate on the midfield!

      Klopps judgement on going with Ragnar Klavan for half a season in wait for this player could be his best as a manager

      If he could just add a little scoring to his toolbox he'd be the complete defender.

      Coolest cat I've seen strut round at centre-half at Anfield since Hansen.

      And he's knocking 40 yard balls around like Alonso in his pomp.

      Rolls Royce of a player.

      2 assists in 2 games and spraying passes all over the pitch like Gerrard and Xabi. He’s suddenly become our Coutinho replacement and CB.

      Anyone noticed that VVD rarely gets carded?

      last season just 1 yellow card.

      This season so far just 1 too.

      a testament to his positional ability and his defensive prowess.

      I hope I'm not jinxing him now!!! :laugh:

      Varane, along with Ramos, deemed the best defender in the world apparently, probably because if you win the Champions League or World Cup, it automatically makes the player of each position the best in the world it seems. Both kept less clean sheets and been weaker at the back than Virgil in the last year. Doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
