Im unclear as to these reactions? He had a good game against a blunt everton attack. He was guilty of poor positioning which led to the goal, and Matip certainly didnt seem to benefit from this alleged organisation. I think you would need to see a little more of him before you can draw any real conclusions. Pretty good debut though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poor positioning? He was up for a corner in the opposite box when Everton countered and scored

His organisation was excellent the way he was shouting at others and telling them where to go. I was shocked he was doing that in his first game.

You need to have a lie down.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And he trotted back, made a vague attempt to get involved, and they scored.

He's a good player, and he will improve Liverpool, but his display wasn't flawless as some have made out. I think that's fine, no reason to expect that on a debut, but I can see that because I dont have partisan blinkers on.

Who was your choice for motm Brain?

He didnt even see it, just replayed the Everton goal over and over

Yes, but you're not the only one, Brian.
It's not uncommon.

I'm far from blinded by tribalism, hence my unbiased view. On the plus side, at least Van Dijk got his first assist today.

Yes, appointing yourself as the arbiter is the acid-test of impartiality

On the plus side, I thought he was our best player, so looking forward to seeing more of him

Organisation still not apparent

Moreno is in the starting lineup

Look at jay Rodriguez second goal

Moreno is a failed winger and a failed fullback

Wasnt Van Dijk supposed to be the great organiser of such players though?

posted on 27/1/18

He cant give people defensive qualities

He can organise those that have some

Moreno...

Mignolet...

So the suggestion that he alone won't really improve Liverpool's defence all that much seems quite reasonable

Lol

No improvement so far. If anything, he has slumped to the level of the others - why could this be?

Well we conceded 4 goals last time against Spurs so it's 100% better.

Night.

Yeah, Liverpool have gone right down hill since Virgil signed....

You are correct in a way, if you only measure is how you preform against spurs, and I assume that things havent have declined so much that spurs arent seen as the only team you are bothered about.

Liverpool's defensive record is on a downturn since he arrived

He's played four games, Christ. As I said, on the whole he has done well so far and we'll get better as he settles.
