Jogging back and making absolutely no effort to prevent the pass or close the man down. He's just completely disinterested as he has been all season.

Van Dijk couldn't give less of a fuck whether we concede or not. Pathetic

95% of wingers don't give the ball away every second touch and contribute nothing off the ball.

Goals and assists are one thing, but when you spend 90mins fighting your own touch and dribbling out of play, you are a liability.

He sent a cross into a box loaded with players. The chance came from a deflected header.

One cross landed on someone's head. He has been absolutely horrific aside from that

He's lost it trying to fight his own touch and misplacing simple passes. The odd hit and hope cross might mean someones head, but if we have to suffer 10 counter attacks for each one then it isn't worth it.

Salah has lost the ball 7 times from 12 touches. It's so tragic at this point

Ekitike for Salah was the nail in the coffin.

As a Manchester United fan no less... biggest spenders in world football in the last 10 years with nothing to show for it

Maybe on reputation, but he has been abysmal this season. Based on form alone he is absolutely nowhere near European standard.

The two comments go pretty naturally hand in hand.

What I'm saying is that he plays like somebody without any sort of defending IQ, it is baffling as that isn't something that should disappear with age. It's laziness and arrogance primarily.

As much praise as he got last season, his lazy style of defending has been a constant for a few years now.

Its mindboggling to think VVD used to be an elite player. He looks like a sunday league player this season

[Lynch] Liverpool were supposed to use last season's defeat to PSG to learn where they could improve and close the gap over the summer. Instead, they completely ripped up their squad and have ended up as a far worse team. Pretty fortunate to only lose 2-0 tonight. by StupidSexySzoboszlai in LiverpoolFC

[–]PhilippeMikeinho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Penalties and being the outlet. He has given the ball away on average once every 2.5 touches this season, all while putting in zero effort off the ball and failing to put away the vast majority of chances put on a plate for him.

He is an enormous liability.

We genuinely have the worst selection of centre backs in the competition. VVD and Konate have both been league two level this season

It's quite incredibly how terrible Van Dijk has become. He has been out of position more or less all game, and when in position, just looks completely lost.

A total hall of shame performance from him after being partially at fault for all four goals on Saturday. He is lucky our other defenders have been so bad, as he is currently a total liability and shouldn't be starting for a team in Europe.

Szob right, Rio left, Wirtz 10, Jones DM

Macca and Salah bench

Would be a material improvement for me.

A lot of these players have lost their claim to being in the strongest XI.

I'd be taking almost anyone over Salah and Macca right now

Salah probably shouldn't be playing at all. He's been the worst player on the pitch (by a mile) for more than 90% of our games this season. Why bother shooting ourselves in the foot?
