People always tend to think older is better I noticed I remember watching a Bill shankly interview a couple months ago and he said he thinks the players back in 30s or 40s are better than the ones now (1970s) and just think of all the legendry players from the 1970s.I never really understood the argument that older players are always better its ridiculous to assume the level of football would have suddenly dropped if anything the level should get better as the years go on like back in the 2000s people would have been saying the players back then are not as good as the ones in the 80s.The players back then were tougher though I will say that they could take a tackle

Numbers wise he hasn’t been great but it doesn’t always tell the story, he’s not had a proper run of games since his injury, just as he was finding form ofcourse the thing with his dad happened, i think the second half of this season he’ll secure his place as a starter and he could be the reason we win the league.

    I do personally think that Salah and Alisson were the player who had the biggest impact on Liverpool, while VVD just helped make the foundation Klopp built more secure, but last season proved that even when VVD has a stinker season, then Salah and Alisson will still keep Liverpool somewhat afloat.

      Vidic has never been considered the best CB in world football, Van Dijk has. He was 8 votes short of beating Messi to a Ballon D’or ffs, what are we even talking about

    Van Dijk is the goat. The ballon dor says it all. Was Vidic ever considered as good as Zidane or Ronaldinho?

    Van Dijk

      That's moronic and goes to show you ain't got a clue about Maldini. He played many of his years as a full back, not a center back.
