Have we reached peak Imperious Man Mountain?

Literally getting credit for doing actions that he himself didn't even do at this point

Van Dijk is the best CB of all time. You're a retard if you don't see this.

He truly is magnificent, Garth

didn't look, but let me guess, he's got the Imperious Man Mountain playing at left midfield or something?

to be fair vvd can play anywhere

Swear he didn't even play that pass

He didn't, it was Matip

Why are people SO jealous of him? It genuinely makes me laugh.

He's rich, tall and bangs pornstars. Not hard to see why

Explain the English pundit fascination with VVD?
Hes a good defender but they elevate him.

Seems to me they love Liverpool Tottenham and United too much

It's that last reason. It's why you heard little about him when he was at Southampton or Celtic despite those same pundits also seeing him routinely play for both of them, but now they can't shut the fuck up about him for every little thing he does. It does help that he's genuinely good, but not to the level where every single clearance he makes is a magnificent piece of art like they make it out to be.

It's because he's the world's most expensive defender. It's common for them to overplay every minor action an expensive player makes.

Scotland usually gets its own pundits since the only time engpakis care about us is when the old firm is on, and if I remember correct van Dijk played in only one of those

There's a few that crossover, your Chris Suttons and the like, but even discounting that, they had 3 seasons worth of him at Southampton but they didn't seem as bothered about him then as they do now

reminds them of rio ferdinand. the original BBC that every british man was jelly of.

most top players are pretty indistinguishable, especially defenders. david luiz got the same hype but he fucked up more

Every talk of him will fade to obscurity once Messi emasculates him just like Milner in 2015. You won't hear of this man mountain until 2022.

He will pocket him, just like ronaldo, lewandowski, mbappe, kane, aguero...

VanDijck doesn't even play for England, why are the English media hyping him up so much?

They didn't even fellate Pickford this much
