Liverpool’s Future Leadership: Virgil van Dijk Poised for the Captain’s Armband The Pride of Donning the Captain’s Armband From the canals of Breda to the iconic Anfield turf, Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk could be moments away from accepting the captain’s armband. If appointed, the Dutch centre-back will fill the void left by Jordan Henderson, now […]
Liverpool defender, Virgil Van Dijk, has gave his opinion on Liverpool’s new tactical approach following the Reds’ 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds have won back-to-back games against Leeds and Nottingham Forest since switching their approach, scoring nine goals across the two fixtures.

Liverpool’s defensive injury crisis has hindered them in so many ways this season. Losing Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip has obviously hamstrung the defending champions in defence, not that you would necessarily know it from the goals conceded column. The break glass in case of emergency defenders — Fabinho and Jordan Henderson […]
The medium to long term losses of Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk and the continued inconsistencies in Joel Matip’s fitness record doesn’t only impact Liverpool in defence. Of course, regularly not having three defenders of that calibre is harmful to a team’s prospects of keeping clean sheets. But it’s the Reds’ midfield that has […]
