      I read about voices that explain our recent downfall with VVD's absence. I want to remember everyone that we not only lost to Villa 2-7 with VVD, but also our engine stutters since last season after the COVID break. If there is a problem, it is much more subtle and deeper than just one or two guys missing.

      Easily explained, the whole team were sh*te, no urgency from fans, basically pandemic footy!

      Official site quoting Jürgen saying Virgil unlikely to play again this season.

      “I don’t want to say that’s absolutely impossible but it’s not likely. It’s not likely. We don’t have to discuss these things really."

      If he did become fit I wouldn't be in any hurry to play him this season.

      Even if we hadn't rectified our centre half problems this window and he became available say April time I wouldn't have put him in. Don't want any further setbacks with him and need him back to his best for next season with a good pre season behind him.

      We won't see Virgil, Joe or Joel in the team again until pre season.

      I'm still not sure about that, imagine being able to bring him in at the semi final stage of the CL, WHAT A BOOST that would be!!

      Even if he was just barely back fit for the CL semi should we reach it there is no way Klopp plays Virgil in such an intense game after 6 months out.

      Im not sure if some people live in the real world.

      Lets do all we can to get him back this season no matter what, that should inceease our chances of losing him to another injury next year!

      If we see him back on the pitch before pre season Ill bet on him being injured again, and not the same cruciate injury before Christmas

      I expect Jürgen will have spoken with his med staff and in turn would receive periodic reports of Virgil’s progress, so unfortunately we have to accept exactly what it says on the tin, the same I would imagine for Gomez and as we learnt more recently Matip too,

      It is what it is I guess and we just need to get on with it and look forward to next season with three new world class CB’s to choose from.

      VVD back in Liverpool. Definitely another step towards a return. Could mean he's 4-6 weeks away, maybe end of March or start of April.

      Wouldn't have VVD anywhere near a match day squad this season. F**k that.

      Wishful thinking 011. Very doubtful he plays again this season even for his remarkable recovery rate.

      Probably going to be back for the Euros? We might be patient and not want to rush him but doubt Holland will.

      And we have to realistic that there are uncertainties over how good Virgil and Joe will be when they do come back. These are serious injuries. Some in our current squad have come back strong (Sadio and Jordan) and others not so much (Ox).

      Your only worry really Rob is Virgil, Joe needs replacing. Correct me if I'm wrong wasn't he playing really badly for a while just before he got injured ? He's not up to the plate anymore. Your absolutely right about the injury though. In some cases I read it can be 18 months before they get back to 100%.

      You're living in dreamland, Virgil is only running in water now.

      He won't be back playing for us until he's 100% fit which will be next season.

      Joe has made mistakes but no, I wouldn't give up on him by any means. Big part of.our title push last year.
