Anyone expecting them to wear black armbands for Virgil tonight?

Black suspenders more like.
Fucking load of pussy’s

Sounds like the scans did not go well -

David Ornstein: “It’s my understanding that the damage to Virgil van Dijk’s right knee is perhaps worse than initially expected and extends beyond the ACL.” [The Athletic]

Trevor Sinclair suggested that might be the case this morning.He said with it being an impact injury the surrounding tissue and bone will likely be damaged,as opposed to a twist which would have likely isolated the ACL.

I'll be surprised if they can find the inner strength to even play the game.

It's quite rare to tear your ACL when the knee is straight, like Van Dijk's was, which is probably testament to just how devastating having 90kg of Mackem throw their full weight into your standing leg.

Under the circumstances they should probably just be awarded the 3 points without having to play. It's not really fair that they have to still play, with the trauma of one of their players being injured still fresh in their minds. None of them slept a wink the night after it happened apparently. I'm getting emotional just typing this.

Its a difficult period for all,but time is a healer.....if you need to talk?

​

Not 100% surprising that other ligaments would have been damaged, the one they really really do not want to be damaged is the PCL. Very hard to do a successful surgery on the PCL.

Would probably put his time out to more like 12 months too instead of 9.

At his age when he gets back he won’t be the same player and klopp probably be gone by then.

Summed up perfectly

They will be too tired as they cannot sleep.

Dave Whelan has been on the blower offering his sympathy.
