Nice assist for Rashord's second.
At fault for first goal think he played rashford on side though I do need to see a replay again.Thought he had a good game today but had fires to worry about on his right where Lovren was.
Probably our most threatening player offensively today.
Based on what evidence?£30m Bailly is still a better and younger defender than £75m VVD.
Same. Our set piece delivery was poor today. I think we had something like 10 corners and only threatened with two of them.At fault for first goal think he played rashford on side though I do need to see a replay again.
Done well but not going to solve all your problems.
Is big threat at st pieces with salah delivery.
We have about 6 bodies over 6’ in our side and literally no one who can take a decking corner
I thought your delivery from corners was good today. Beats our 'hitting the first defender every time' crap.Same. Our set piece delivery was poor today. I think we had something like 10 corners and only threatened with two of them.
Some were too close to De Gea or missed the area they were supposed to hit. We were definitely aiming for Van Dijk.I thought your delivery from corners was good today. Beats our 'hitting the first defender every time' crap.
Bailly has only missed 20 more days due to injury than VVD since he came to United.Based on what evidence?
I thought Bailly spends more time on the treatment table.
Based on performances, especially taking the respective age gap and transfer fees into notion.Based on what evidence?

So basically your opinion, you were right though Bailly is younger, and in my opinion a promising centre half but it’s maybe a little premature to say he’s better than Van Dijk especially based on a transfer fee.Based on performances, especially taking the respective age gap and transfer fees into notion.
Probably considering Laporte cost 57 million and youngerMassively over paid here didn't they?
True. Although it’s hard when every day there’s a new article about Pogba costing 89 million.You guys get to hung about transfer fees. Van Dijk has improved their defense and was probably the best CB they could sign.
How do he and Smalling compare purely physically? Same height, very rare to see anyone consistently trouble Smalling in the air, happened with VVD on Saturday, though much of that is delivery and run. Who has the greater natural spring? VVD looks a little stronger in the upper body, Smalling might be a touch quicker.Is there a more dominant CB in the air?
He's a physical specimen.
Yeah, the same hight but VVD looks much bigger and I'll guess stronger.How do he and Smalling compare purely physically?

The way they move looks so similar. You know when you have watched a player so much you can identify them from their running gait alone? VVD and Smalling are very similar in how they move, that same inelegant, gangly style.Yeah, the same hight but VVD looks much bigger and I'll guess stronger.
They’ve made really good signings this year. Keita looks like he’s going to be a cracking signing too.I will be the first one in a while to open this after a good performance. Liverpool defense has looked a lot better since he joined. The transfer fee will always look insane but, he is a quality CB with all the qualities you want in a modern CB.
Best centre back in the league for me. We should have signed him from Celtic.I will be the first one in a while to open this after a good performance.

I didn't think he played very well yesterday, but he's definitely had a calming effect on the defence more generally, which has resulted in better collective performances.I will be the first one in a while to open this after a good performance.

You can't honestly be serious?:') his "mistake" vs Spurs was kicking an offside player in the leg who came from his blind side while attempting to clear the ball. Not even sure what mistake you're referring to against you guys, unless you mean not fully tracking Mata?I don't think people said he would be horrendous but he's not a 75m defender.
Someone like Smalling has been better imo. If Chris made the mistakes VVD made v Spurs and Utd he would still be getting crucified to this day.
Well it clearly was, you can even see it in the original video that he didn't see him coming. As soon as he did he was already swinging, tried to pull out but couldn't in time. Van Dijk himself even said he didn't see him coming, it's not even a question tbh. But don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative of course!@Jayus20
It wasn't his blind side and VVD wouldn't have known Lamelas big toe was offside when he booted him in the thigh.
It's all good as the talent spotting legend Van Gaal opted for Blind instead.Best centre back in the league for me. We should have signed him from Celtic.
Maybe he should have but maybe the linesman should have flagged him offside and we wouldn't even be having this discussion. As I said before, been a top CB near enough every game since he's come in. You either don't watch us much, or you're allowing your bias to cloud your judgement. He's brought a hell of a lot to this team and in my opinion he's been well worth the £75m we've paid for him for the reasons I stated above. I can only imagine how much better he'll get after a proper pre season with us and playing next to a better defensive partner than Lovren (who we will hopefully buy this summer).@Jayus20
Maybe he should have seen him coming? Is sudden, partial blindness really an excuse for not having a clue as to who is around you in the box?
Not really, VVD is his own type of defender, he seems to have decent composure although his positioning seems a bit off at times, Rio was a different entity entirely.any similarities with Rio ? They both seem commanding.
