Van Dijk's foremost ability is to push our lighter attackers of the ball, either legally by shoulder charge, or illegally by a push in the back or arm across the chest (rarely penalised by refs). IF Haarland does join City, then I look forward to seeing him reply in kind and shove van Dijk on his backside.

He tried that on Stones. It looked like a mismatch when they are stood side by side.
then Stones out muscled Haaland.

They will slip up in one of those games imo. Got a feeling Villareal could pull off a possible shock, fingers crossed.

this game reminds me Ajax a few years back.
i think Liverpool fans are in for a shock.

Met one at a party last night who told me he "gave up" after they won the league and didn't follow it at all last season, but somehow rediscovered his interest this season. I wonder what happened to cause that momentary lapse in interest.....

Probably watching his team play in an empty stadium every week of the season...

I know I wasn't that invested in last season and barely re-watch any highlights from our Champions League or League Cup runs.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

They do have a hardcore support of fans no doubt about that and they do carry a certain air of being a proper terrace club with vocal fans but beyond that they're just a product much like Utd and much the same as we will be in 10 to 20yrs from now. Followed by men who supported them as kids for glory who've got no interest or connection to the heart of the club which has become nothing more than a selling point for the product.

Enhanced by a media that bigs them up at every opportunity, talked about for being a proper working class football team in contrast to the state owned clubs as though to suggest this makes them more deserving of glory. All the while ignoring the elephant in the room that is the owners of that media love in being as opposite to that heart as you could possibly get. Holding up banners that say never trust a Tory is commendable as I fucking hate Tories yet they're championed by a media that's never and never will have any invested interest in the working class communities of Liverpool.

They've got some decent fans. I've met them both. But they live in a dreamland if they're to purpose their fan base is made of loyal locals who will travel the overpriced public transport a proper core base of working class lads could not afford as opposed to being followed by absolute glory hunting nonces. They're Man Utd with scouse accents that's all.

The majority of Liverpool fans I encounter online aren't even British, let alone Scouse. Fucking plastic glory hunters who genuinely believe Everton have never won any trophies, and I'd be amazed if any of them even know who Bob Paisley is. Or Steve Heighway (my mum's favourite).

Liverpool are corporate whores. They're not a workers' collective. Not that Everton are either but at least we acknowledge that.
