I agree re Allison. Like all ball-playing GK he had a tough time at the start, but has settled well.
But to me Van Dijk always looks like he is on the edge of a massive ****-up. And I think his pace makes up for that a lot. I’ve only caught a couple of Liverpool games this season, but he was bailed out by Gomez and Robertson a few times in those.
Sky named him MOTM against us, which I thought was strange, because he was partially at fault for our goal. And we were pretty impotent.
He’s obviously a great CB, but I have yet to see a Liverpool game where I’ve thought he looks like the most expensive one ever.
If we had Dijik instead of Mustafi, we were top 2 in PL right now with his speed.
So yes, i would pay the most expensive bid for CB to get him and let Holding cover for him, instead of saving some money and compete for Top 4 like we are.
Just 1 signing can make you diferent.
