Yet some EPL fans believed he is better than Ramos, Vidic etc.
I am glad he is being exposed,
Rock of ages ko, Rock of rabies ni.

He probably hed critics saying he doesn't mark,instead he runs away from players and wait for his team mates to cover up,he decided to give marking a try and he is nt finding it funny

Let me go and catch d video on YouTube sef,na only pix I don dey c since yesterday

Why so much ado about Van Dijk getting dribbled?




Maybe because there was so much ado about him not being dribbled.

CAPdan21:


bar ronaldo nd messi hw many peole re able to drop 40+ goals a season...dat season he scored 43 goals in all competitions 4 Liverpool...even Neymar dat barca fans love to hype his best season was 39 goals...nd dat was when he was being spoon fed goals by messi

Check well, Neymar has exceeded that limit. Still doesn't change the fact that Salah has lived up to the hype.

kendrick93:

You are an iidiot.... typical illerate Nigerian...
Racism....is Van djik a white man?
Are you black than vvd?
I won't even bother replying to the salah jibe... You lack sense bro

You had to bring racism into this?
You are obviously senseless if you can't discuss with your emotions in check.

If we get better partner wey young n dey faster n a bit more physical, Pique won't be exposed everytime. Singlet isn't good, na condition make crayfish bend.
No better CB for the club at the moment apart from aged Pique, we all know what injury has done to the once impressive umtiti.
On a norm, Singlet suppose be bech player for barca. He isn't even as good as Gabby Milito that was sitting in the good old days.

Well, let just call it happenstance.

Hahahahaha, so much for the next best thing after slice bread. Imagine comparing him to Ramos, Vidic, damn those guys were really insulted by that comparison.

Honestly if I see any barca fan come up and talk shiit about Vidal again,

We're going to have beef!

I nt even bothered about him being dribbled, wat am insinuating is dat a lot of pple discredited Alison saying van dike been d 1 preventing dem from conceding, Alison has been injured and Liverpool have only kept 2 or 3 clean sheets all season if I'm nt mistaken.

The only player who came out of that Liverpool humiliation with a pass was Vidal.

In addition to numerous good performances he's had for us, this guy leaves blood, sweat, and tears on the turf.

But you still hear some of our guys here say stuff like;

"he's not barca material"
"he doesn't have barca DNA"
"he doesn't play the barca way"

I mean WTF!

U neva grab my point, dey said van dijk did everything,meaning dey could do without Alison, but can't do without van dike,

Compare d number of clean sheet dey have nw to wat dey had at dis tym last season, if nt for dia blazing attack, where will dey b on d EPL table?

Leave people who don't know anything about football, I said on this thread, there is a reason even Guardiola never benched Vidal when he is fit... Arthur, FDJ and Busquests may have the class and suave movements needed in Barca but that grit and mad determination to win the ball and always always make a difference, no player in our midfield has it like Vidal. Even aerial balls with players taller than him he will contest, if you like dribble him 9 times, he will still mark you. The guy is good jor. Still expect some clueless Barca fan to come and say he is wrestler. The guy is gold and at least Valverde knows how to use and keep him motivated

If Allisson comes back and Van Dijk goes on injury, they may still be conceding all those goals. Defence is partnership not always talent, that's why Liverpool's defense last season was good, everyone that played with Van Dijk seemed to do so well from Lovren to Matip to Gomez. It wasn't just Van Dijk even Allisson, Taa and Robertson. But Van Dijk was the crucial member, he brought everone together. Then he and Allisson had a stellar understanding. That's why when Allisson was around, Van Dijk didn't full on mark players, he runs back at an angle allowing Allisson to cover the other side. This keeper isn't Allisson, and he may not trust him or he may not trust Van Dijk. That's why Van Dijk marks more. Watch whenever Allisson returns and Fabinho starts, Van Dijk will not run to mark anybody.

Vidal was arguably our best player at anfield and any coach with a half atom of sense would've removed Coutinho and blocked that attacking lane with Vidal and we would've simply won that game

We were so bad in the 2nd half that everybody forgets we were actually very good in the first. Kloop simply saw Alba was having a bad night and decided to flood his position in the 2nd half. Adjust to that by playing Vidal to cover Alba and Liverpool won't have any other attacking root. Instead he removed him instead of removing Suarez and putting Arthur to choke that midfield

This is simple textbook coaching.This is what Mourinho would've done.Simply apply same technique we did against Madrid by bringing in Vidal to totally nullify Vinicus who was having a field day against Semedo and Madrid didn't have any way of attacking us.That match still Dey pain me as our errors were so glaring and coach couldn't control his team

Arthur was brought in to slow the tempo of the match and Coutinho is only removed for Dembele, that one looks like board instruction (even at Bayern, Coutinho is never benched even though Thiago can play that wing well). If we had this team against Liverpool at least Griezman won't leave Alba isolated time and time again.
And do you know why Barca fans hated Valverde at first, negative football which he used in his first season and that's why Man utd fans started hating Mourinho. Now you are advocating for it. Just forget the match, it pains us all because we were so close, so so close.

We are still saying d same tin,d partnership between d defence and d goal keeper carried dem last season, but wen Messi won d FIFA best, dey decided to kuku sweep Alison efforts away,someone even told dey could do without Alison but dey can't do without van dike

Like I said, dey have dia forwards to thank for where dey are on d EPL table dis season

How can you slow down the tempo while being 3 goals down away from home. Liverpool had all the momentum and it was the most stupid substitution a coach could ever make

Using the excuse of benching Coutinho has no meaning. He was equally terrible in that game and when a player is playing poorly, you remove him irrespective of what the board thinks of not.

We had the perfect team at anfield.We contained the game perfectly at half time even missed a couple of chances. But Alba was our weak point and his error gave out the first goal.He played poorly in the first half of that game.In fact I told my friend that this was the first time I was seeing Alba play this bad since I started watching him They attacked through Mane in the first half which Vidal and I think Semedo did a perfect job in containing.

Klopp saw this error in our team and then directed every attack to Alba's position in the 2nd half. Vidal was playing excently and I expected him to play in that position instead he was confined in a position Liverpool was not attacking from. What was the need of having him in that game if he was not doing the dirty jobs

I thought the Roma game was bad until I saw that Liverpool game. The bad thing about it was that Liverpool was missing Salah and didn't even give us a comeback game. They simply attacked and won us all because we have a useless coach that I don't know what he's still doing at this club

We are saying the same thing;

Allison and Matip were both very good but all the credit went to Van Dijk alone.

Not only missing Salah;

1. Missing Firmino.
2. We had extra 7 days rest than Liverpool.
3. We were 3 goals up.

Getting eliminated by Liverpool was not football,

It was crime.

The day we win the champions league will be the day I stop wailing about that Liverpool catastrophe.
