Is Van Dijk the Premier League's best-ever centre-back?
Has a Liverpool player ever received as much endless praise over a sustained period than Virgil van Dijk?
The Dutchman has been an almost godlike figure at Anfield from the moment he arrived in January 2018, powering home a header in front of the Kop on his debut, against Everton no less.
Since then, Van Dijk has transformed a leaky defence that used to concede comical goals into one of Europe's most solid back-lines.
With the 28-year-old in the team, …

Virgil van Dijk - The Game Changer
I have to start the article with a disclaimer - English is not my native language and I fear my vocabulary will fail me in describing just how amazing Virgil van Dijk is. It is a task even Shakespeare might have found impossible if he had to create a sonnet about Liverpool's number four.
The Dutchman was voted UEFA men's player (also defender) of the 2018/19 season and PFA player of the year after leading the Reds to number six …
Player Ratings as Liverpool Sweep Burnley Aside
An exceedingly comfortable 3-0 victory against the most abhorrent club in the Premier League. They tried their usual dirty, boring tactics but were made to look like a bunch of part-timers by the Europeans Champions. A thoroughly satisfying win as we head into the international break.
Adrian: 6
Had very little to do. Easy game for the Spaniard.
Trent: 7
Created the Wood own-goal and dealt with what little attacking intent Burnley showed down his side throughout the game.
Matip: …
Joel Matip: The best partner for Virgil Van Dijk
We're four years into Joel Matip's Liverpool career and only now are we getting to see him finally fulfil his potential.
He arrived during the summer of 2016 and immediately had fans on his side purely by not being Martin Skrtel. For years prior, the Slovakian had been one of the mainstays in a leaky backline for the Reds.
Matip was not just seen as an upgrade but as a better fit in general. His first thought wasn't to retreat …

Why Liverpool are right to sell Dejan Lovren
After five years of being one of the most divisive players in Liverpool's history, the end appears to be nigh for Dejan Lovren at Anfield.
If (trustworthy) rumours are to be believed, the 30-year-old is on the verge of completing a move to Roma, having accepted that being fourth choice centre-back is going to be no barrel of laughs.
