Virgil Van Dijk

Perhaps I just have significant questions about how much actual defending he has to do in the league. Looking good defending for 30 minutes a game vs some Scottish rubbish is quite different to defending for 90 minutes vs Chelsea. Completely different with regards to focus, physicality and positioning.

Sure he looks good in Scotland where he's bigger than everyone, what happens when he comes up against Lukaku, or Aguero, or Costa. How will he manage to marry defending against strong and skilled players for 90 mins.
To be perfectly honest, a lot of defenders look fantastic when defending against lower league prem teams, but it's only a handful that can actually do anything against Aguero, Costa or Lukaku and the likes. While you are probably right to be worried, who wouldn't actually struggle? Most do anyway...
 


Sounds like he's been a bit poop.

Which is the exact worry for me.

He looks good in the Scottish league. Really good. But it's not proper competition.

Celtic are always seemingly turd in Europe which is more than real completion.

See where I'm going? How is he as good as people say?
