Being in No Man’s Land has a way for making a steady player look pedestrian. You’re literally helpless in that position, and if it isn’t being fixed, you can’t just stop and fix it.

Virgil has not regressed in fundamentals, that I can assure you of.

He will look better when his support is better.

That header back to Ali was routine and just lazy…

I agree, and he agrees. I think I remember seeing a post or interview where he acknowledged it and took responsibility.

Honestly, if we can pull a comeback like that while we are clearly shorthanded and not having a great time defensively, we’re in pretty decent shape moving forward.

Interested to see what happens in the winter transfer window.

I think VVD has always had an effortless quality to his game (if that makes sense) and it’s still there even after he’s gotten a step slower…. It still works 85% of the time…. But when it doesn’t, it’s costly…

I get that feeling too. He has had solid partners a lot of the last 5-10 years, so the drop off around him really highlights what he has made seem “automatic”.

That said, it is absolutely his responsibility to help out the situation and either adjust his game or help others adjust and rise to that level.

Obviously hope we play but could be a blessing in disguise considering the incredible form Brighton are in

Wirtz has a special trait of losing and beaten to every 50/50

Really good player. Injuries have always been the issue with him.

When I saw him head the ball clear from the ground in our 6 yd box, that's when I knew it was time to activate his clause.The man is becoming a cult hero.

I wonder if we can get the fee down from Barca? I would love to keep him, as well.. he is just entering his prime.. I do want a proper RB in the team though, but I think if the money is right, having him in the top 3 CB rotation and a spot starter at RB, it would be worth it..

What's funny is what he is being revered for at Anfield is ultimately what cost him his spot in the Barca 1st team... But we have needed a no nonsense defender for quite some time..
