Van dijk is a step above than every single one of these CBs. The fact that he is playing with kids in the backline like Quansah and Bradley and 3rd choice full back Gomez and also 2nd choice Goalie behind him and still be so dominant just shows how beast of a Cb he is. Truly an all time great.
@PaddyMcMe Ай бұрын
That season he lost out to Messi in the Ballon d'Or by like 6 or 7 points was the most impressive defensive season I've ever seen by a CB. The craziest stat about VVD's dominance was that he had a 3 year stretch where he never lost at Anfield.... 3 Years... He was basically out there replicating Mourinho's 1st Chelsea team. That back line of Trent, Matip, VVD, Robertson with Allisson behind them might genuinely have been the best 'Back 5' in the history of the league. Every single one of them was the best player in the world in their position for 18-24 months.

There's a difference between a pairing and as individuals. Vvd has had different partners this season as well has a different keeper behind him. He single handedly dragged us to a trophy with kids around him. No other cb in the world would be able to do that. Liverpool play more risky football than arsenal putting him in harder situations.

I dont understand how VVD is number one this season with 9 clean sheets vs saliba and gabriels 13 I just dont get it

Because if u talb about gabriel u will include saliba thats the difference vvd has 4 different type of cb partnership konate matip gomez and quansah whole u dont know even now 🤣🤣 r before and then vvd has 2 nd choice gk half a season and yet he leads all the individual stats for a cb that's the difference 😂😂 don't just see stats just watch the game u will understand

You could argue that Konate, when at his best, has been better than VVD this season. And the same can be said for Gabriel over Saliba.

You can't argue that, I love Ibou but everytime Virgil lines up next to someone else I see the occasional shout like this. There's a reason the common factor is Virgil.

@kwamephillips7392 Ай бұрын
I would personally put Fabian Schar on the list. Watched him and Newcastle yesterday and for me easily man of the match. Commanding, lead from the back and the main reason they won the match. Also a goal threat as well. Their best defender this season.

@PaddyMcMe Ай бұрын
Gabriel is currently a better athletic defender than VVD, but VVD's leadership, aura, the confidence he inspires, and how so many of our goals he is performs the assist for the assist. Plus his ability to come up clutch goals, assists or defensive actions is what just gives him the edge over Gabriel. For a one off game, like a Champion's League final you'd take Gabriel, but for a Premier League season you'd take VVD.

Manchester City’s players hardly ever get in these tier lists because of the argument that they never play the same role. But that’s just how intelligent Guardiola is in that instead of buying a lot of players he just buys a few but that can play multiple roles. This is also why Manchester City hardly have injuries because of the rotations Guardiola can make game per game to rest players. He has 10 players that can play more than one position Ake - LB and CB Gvardiol - LB and CB Stones - CB and CDM Akanji - CB and RB Walker - RB and CB (Back 3) Lewis - RB and CDM Bernardo - RW and CM Doku - RW and LW Alvarez - RW, LW, and ST Foden - RW, LW, and CAM
