There's no way to predict the outcome. It ended the career of players like Jese, Fekir was never the same anymore, same for Benjamin Mendy etc.
But it seems that most players recover pretty well nowadays.

Even though if this was Maguire RAWK would be saying “ good, the scum can break his leg for all I care etc.. etc” I am genuinely gutted for VVD, absolutely assaulted by Wish’s version of Joe Hart and now his season is over.
Disgusting by the ref, shocking by VAR and disgraceful by Prickford!

Makes the Leagues decision to suspend the league season for a few months again due to COVID easier.
The league was already wide open, VVD has been as poor as any in their defence this season
True, I think the risk of really not getting to your old level anymore is also bigger when a players depends a lot on physique, agility and explosivity..
Haven’t seen so many bad posts by one poster in less than two hours for quite some time, congrats.
True. He played in that mess against Villa and has been found wanting since last season restarted. Some very basic errors have crept into his game recently.
I’d still rather he not be out for the season though.
I watched him with holland vs italy. He didn't looked at his best either.
Having done my ACL 10 years ago, I cringed at the replay and I suspected it was something like that. A nasty fecking injury this
He will be fine, a quick blast on his asthma pump and he`ll be back for next match.
Cruciate ligament injury is 7-8 months no?
If that is the case then City are suddenly favorites imo

Any reliable sources reporting this?
Not sure what was so offensive. Maybe you're a bit soft but you're here long enough, you know where the ignore button is.
Can’t stand the smug prick but never nice seeing players getting scythed in two like that from absolute braindead bums such as Pickford.
He’ll be a huge loss for them if he’s out long term, more from a psychological point of view than anything performance-related as his form has actually been quite suspect this calendar year to date yet he has still managed to maintain this ‘aura’ about him, mainly from the Scouse-loving media blowing smoke up his arse.

Yes I thought the same when I saw it, his leg went one way while his body weight was going the other. Disgraceful challenge by Pickford.
We will see what Klopp is made of now, I said in the predictions thread a few weeks back that pool were an injury away from VVD from joining the race for top 4. The top 4 race howver might be the title race this season at his stage.
This is true
Horrible news if true, hate to see injuries like that happen
I've seen you post before with your "Targaryen loyalist" tag and genuinely thought you were some scary extreme view type guy.
Just realised it's some tv show thing. Whoops.
Exactly that. Can't stand him, Klopp or their whole set up. But ideally we want them to lose with their full side out, and you don't want people with serious injuries.
With Adrain in goal, and him out, they are massively vulnerable.
Not that VD was exactly rock solid this season as it was!
Time for teams to take advantage of them with VVD and Alisson out. They suddenly look beatable again.
Yeah, Vidic was never the same when he got his injury.
Tough for any player getting this sort of injury especially one who is approaching his 30s.
My views may be considered extreme after what happened in the show
.7 months because Pickford is an idiot. Not cool. Get well soon VVD. Tackles like that have no place in football.
Nah just a bit wasted already and thought it was a pretty stupid post since you can easily walk off with an ACL but I shouldn’t have been that attacking, apologies
your “they’re vulnerable without VVD” earlier made little sense too though since we shipped 7 with him playing and he hasn’t missed a minute in the PL since Jan ‘18 so can’t tell anyway if that’s the case.Nah just a bit wasted already and thought it was a pretty stupid post since you can easily walk off with an ACL but I shouldn’t have been that attacking, apologies
You don't think you'd be massively weakened without VD playing at his top level?
Obviously not playing at Leeds and Villa game level!
Didn't both Zouma and Ibra suffer the same injury a few years back? Horrible news and I feel sorry for him. Looks a real fighter and all, hope it doesn't affect his career much. No person and professional deserves it.
It reminded me of Zlatan’s knee going when he played for us. Just like the knee was almost about to go and bend the wrong way
Hairy hands is
Yeah took zouma a good few years get back to it. But tbf both stoke and everton helped him with 2 good loan moves.
I think Matip and Gomez are still better than City's offering, Liverpool also have a better attack and despite last week defend better as a team.
I wouldn't count off Spurs this season
Of course. I remember what their defense was like pre VVD and we got a glimpse of it again today. 2 goals conceded to 2 crosses into the box.
Gomez is poor. Problem is they will miss his leadership, presence and the passes from the defence to wings. Klopp would change things i guess.
Its not as though he relies on his pace. He'll come back just fine.
I am.
Hes hasn't been poor, he's been poor by his standards. Big difference.
We disagree about Gomez and either way Liverpool's attackers and midfielders are their most important defenders through pressng.
Basically losing a year and coming back aftrt a year in yoir 30s is a huge ask. Look at Laporte and how long hes taking to get up to speed and he is a lot younger than Virgil.
If he's out for the season, I honestly think they'll struggle to make top 4.
That’s a massive stretch.
