Greatest centre back i've ever seen. A genuine guy too, one of a kind.
Wisely and logically good ?
No worry, VVD will be back to his best! But at the moment, Matip is playing better than him!
Can we try this combination at the back, Matip (CB), Ibu (CB), Tsimikas (LB) & Joe Gomez (RB). Trent has been particularly bad, below average even! VVD, I understand, he's still in recovery mode and Robbo is just bang average these days.

VVD is such a well spoken player
Virgil u a looking for golden bol that way u don.t give sallah what it's worth
Come on VVD. In recent matches, you've been caught sleeping at the back. You let Griezmann put you in his pocket and against Brentford as well, you let them run riot at the back. You'll be better and stronger. Just believe in yourself. YNWA
Simeone is so rude run from klopp and no shake ? hands f@ck atletico madrid
Not sure why they have to ask these recycled questions week in, week out. ??
YNWA ❤❤❤
Fuckn same question after fuckn same question we all love Mo but let's talk about the game
The number of goals he has scored at the moment one of the top goal scorers this season so far nice YNWA
Coming back from a near career ending injury was never going to be easy.
Ballon D'or? really? For 2 beautiful goals? Why you're so disrespectful against other players in other leagues?
I´m Improving.
The best player in liverpool after mo. Salah.
One week your the best and the next week you're not…Respect for dropping some truth. Pure class.
ball… on d… or what? oh the trophy from those ?
Defenders don't real peak until 32 this guy could play till he's 38 40
…. BEST o'luck tomorrow lad, ??luv ya all! ♥️♥️♥️
Hey Virgil. I don't know if you read the comments on the channel but if you do. Yes there are eyes on you mate but that doesn't matter because we believe in you and you know yourself . Good hunting.
You're awesome.
You think your self a great defender but not
Sergio Ramos is 100% beter than you.
Questions are terrible, klopp interview is the same
Big Virgil Mo Salah Liverpool best forward Virgil Liverpool best defender it makes massive different Van dyck in team LFC ynwa
We really need to best Atletico, they've been our bogey side for a long time. Honestly hate getting drawn against them.
Wat a Charmer ✨? ..
I like how he is trying to avoid potential internet lash back by emphasizing "Opinion". Smart lad
