Are people still seriously trying to pretend van dijk is world class? He's been poor for a long while now.

I wouldn’t say poor but he’s no longer World XI standard.
Bizarre that Liverpool fans are claiming 4 of their back 5 should be in the XI despite conceding 47 league goals last season.

In 2020 you’d have had a strong case. Not now.

Poor United fans. We tried to tell them we were turning into a top team several years ago, they wouldn't listen and then were made to look silly and now it's happening again. Let the season play out before making yourself look silly.

Last season wasn't individual players which caused us to concede so many, it was a combination of things, most notably the change of system, injuries in midfield and the midfielders not having the energy to pull off the new system.

Some of you guys have been desperate to label VVD poor since he signed, then got your chance when he had a long injury and came back into a struggling team. Relax, have a look at how the season pans out with the new signings to play in the system and if conceding goals is what you judge an individual on then we've conceded three goals more than the best defence in the league and that's with having four red cards and two apologies in eight games as well as playing attacking football, with one of the four defenders moving into midfield, leaving the defence with a lot of work to do as a collective and individually.

It's all good. This season our five world class players, with the new signings etc will win the league. Watch.

Also forgot to mention the assorted world class youth. One of them, dubbed the Young Virgil having played excellently whilst filling in for the wrongly sent off man himself.
