Virgil van Dijk

Sheer coincidence, but yesterday I said to someone Van Dijk has to be considered ahead of likes of Ramos at this point.

For me he has been for years(Ramos pure on defense overrated imo), but I mean that that should be what the general consensus should have arrived at by now. Really not many I can think of that should still be ahead of him. Only the Italian bloke comes to mind.

Exactly like Nesta says his consistency is insane. Same story with national team. Rarely catch him on mistake. Usually whoever else is near him.

Imagine he didn’t have what many thought would be an injury he could never come back from.

I've always found much much harder to separate defenders because I cant see the G&A numbers.

And as a biggest stat merchant,that instantly kills my potential.

Heard he is criticised a lot in Netherlands. Is it true? How good has he been for the NT?

There was a period if I recall 2 years ago where he was getting some criticism.

But since a while, no. They recognize he is WC and possibly best at moment.

Only his post game interviews are annoying as hell. Too politically correct. But think very solid captain on pitch.

What's the strongest 11 currently? Which players would you start?

The one against Malta with Memphis instead of Weghorst is our strongest XI, maybe not counting De Vrij

I always opted to try Timber as Van Dijk’s partner. He was central defender during Ajax. He got to play last game on CB and think he will become first choice if he continues to develop way he has been doing.

Van der Ven was poor on the ball tho, needs to improve there.
