Plus, Van Dijk is 'the most talented human being since Leonardo da Vinci', according to the Guardian.
He is a marvellous specimen of a man, to his credit.
I mean, if I wasn't already married, and straight....
I might be tempted. Just saying.
I don't see the 2018/19 PL trophy in your webbed cabinet - if and when you do, please let me know....
A cert for the Nobel Prize too!
Gomez has 13 premier league starts. Lovren has 7. If it wasnt for that injury Gomez starts at least 3 more matches. As soon as you put Gomez on a football pitch it's apparent he's a different class to Lovren. Not sure what you're talking about to be honest.
He's pretty good for Croatia. I wouldn't call him one of the best CBs around but he's one of the better centre halves in the PL.
I worded that wrong. Gomez has often been moved to right back when both players have been fit - the Everton & Man City games being two examples.
I prefer Gomez, but it's fair to say that him and Lovren are more or less neck and neck when it comes to being first choice for the spot alongside VVD.

Like I said, your hatred has blinded you.
Keep piling on the Jinxes, we might be able to turn this around
About media love Liverpool I guess it's purely because of klopp, they prefer klopp press conference to mourinho pressed conference, one treat them like a friend the other treat them like you killed my mother enemy.
We need an update on that boost-boom cycle graph, just push the high edge to May, then let it plummet from the cliff. That would be even better scenario.
Jinxes don't seem to be working. Someone has to step up and slip up big time.
That's the title to them. They can't possibly let this slip.
Gomez is clearly 1st choice by now.
Gomez is a top defender. If anything he's shown what Lovren does not do to qualify as one. Besides the ricks where we've been lucky not to concede lately, he simply doesn't get to the same interventions as gomez and vvd do.
He's fine as 3rd choice, but we'd have conceded more with him as 1st choice
I don't see us winning anything, really... We're already facing major disturbances in the dressing room with one of our best players upset at Klopp
The most people claiming Liverpool champions in January are mancs though. Is it that terrifying a thought? If it happens it’s not like when Lfc ruled world football like no one else did before or since back in the glory years. No team can ever or has ever come close to that. Too many teams with wealth for that to happen. Lots of matches left. So get off the ledge and enjoy the spectacle.
Feck me, 2019 seems like is going to be a terrible year. Footballing Armageddon incoming.
That's bad timing with an unsettled dressingroom before the big matches coming up. Arsenal and City will will smell blood now.I don't see us winning anything, really... We're already facing major disturbances in the dressing room with one of our best players upset at Klopp
Tottenham has some very winnable fixtures coming up, and City will eventually get back to blowing teams away. And now that Man United have got their swagger back, we can soon find ourselves in a dogfight for 4th with them.
And that's if we're lucky! We might even miss out on Europa league footy if this dressing room drama involving our best defender isn't sorted any time soon.
Why always us?
I bet we won't sign anyone in January, and if we do, they'll be terrible
(Psst, who are we going to sign in January?)

Don't want to jinx it but I think if we manage to win the next two against arsenal and city, we got a good chance of getting a top 4 spot
They should sack Klopp and bring in David Fairclough.
This would be a big boost. He suffered a freakishly horrific injury last season against Roma.
Ok this is a gut wrenching choice boys, you have to pick 1 or 2.
1 Liverpool win the league and we get top 4.
Or
2 Liverpool blow it, but we finish outside top 4.
I gotta go 2. Sorry.

How is it City's to lose when you're 7 points clear. They may well still do it (I'm certainly not on the 'title is over' bandwagon) but it's clear Liverpool's title to lose now, you are in a commanding position.
You aren't the plucky underdog any longer (never were this season, having spent a small fortune on players) and the pressure is on.
I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to full-on fandom, but wanting anything but the best situation for your club just seems like the antithesis of what being a fan is about, no? Surely success for your club comes before a disdain for another?
Got to be 2 with United winning Champions League.
We had a similar vote last year and people wanted us to lose Fa Cup and Liverpool to lose CL than us and them winning. It won't be any different but I think the worst will happen with us out of top 4 and they winning the league.
I am extremely wary of this though. I can't remember a player that came back "ahead of schedule" of a knee injury and didn't injure himself again or isn't anywhere near ready when he comes in.
When is the open-top bus parade?
Seriously? You'd prefer to miss out on Champions League just to prevent Liverpool from winning?
I really can't wrap my head around the idea of hating another team more than you love your own.
He doesn't. If it was 'United win CL and Liverpool win league' I'm guessing he would go for that option.
Top 4 isn't that important to United. It matters sure, but they're proven to be able to attract players without it, and have tons of money anyway. Liverpool winning the league is a far bigger deal than United getting fourth, it would be your first in a feck load of time and the hype and media wankfest would go on for a long while.
Well, chances of winning the CL are seriously hampered if they don't qualify.
And while it may not matter much from a financial perspective, I do think some players would think twice before joining a team out of the CL and with a new manager. Unless of course the bastards snatch up Pochettino or Allegri. Could be wrong, though. But most importantly, I just find it weird that a fan of United would prefer not seeing his team in the Champions League over Liverpool winning.
Maybe I'm just too old to understand it.
But in this scenario, Liverpool still ends 30 years of pain and suffering. That's just unacceptable.
This works - United win the league, Liverpool win the CL, the FA Cup, the LC and the Community Shield.
Sure, but United aren't that likely to win the CL next year anyhow.
Some players maybe, but United can attract elite level players/managers without Europe, because they're an elite club who can still pay ridiculous wages/transfer fees. Liverpool winning the league would be huge for United fans, rivalry is a big part of being a football fan so it's not weird to me, what is football without a bit of healthy tribalism? If you don't despise your biggest rivals it's nowhere near as much fun.
Honestly, top 4 for United is no big deal, whereas Liverpool winning the league would be huge. It's as simple as that for me.
Fair enough. And I get that we’re rivals and would certainly enjoy it if they remained as mediocre as they’ve been this season, but Champions League is special and I wouldn’t take missing out over United winning the league. An FA Cup or League Cup on the other hand..
All that being said, perhaps I’d feel different if the the situation was reversed.
