is VVD the best CB we've ever had

[teesred]

My Premier Keague all time greatest CB pairing would actually be

Kompany Van Dijk

No-one else is even in the conversation. We could have had it too if I was in Edwards or Hughes job 😂

I always was puzzled when Kompany went to Hamburg. Nobody took the punt and even when he went to City he wasn't rated as one of European best. Loads of clubs will have kicked themselves afterwards.

[teesred]

I really rated Hyypia,. He and Virgil are up there in my opinion .. But i give the gong to Carragher (i jest)

Sami was a class act. One of the most underrated CBs. I think our fan base always knew but now I think he gets the credit he deserves belatedly by other fans too.
Hyypia and Henchoz were an awesome partnership and one of the best things Ged did at LFC.

I think this is one of the easier 'who's the bestest' kind of debates.

I think these two are head and shoulders above.

And Virg is a good level above Kompany. As good as our 18-21 side was, it's not winning a bean with VVD.

Remember Ron Yates ??

Yeats. Lol. First FA cup winning captain. A giant. Didn't Shanks call him Collosus?
We've had a so many over the years, spoilt really when you think about it.

Rowdy Yates….

and yes he labelled him a Collosus… Though he was just 6,2. Shows how much the game has changed,

Shankly also said “With him in defence, we could play Arthur Askey in goal."

What a legend

Remember Henchoz in the fa cup final against Arsenal? played keeper for one incident when he kept the ball from going in the net. We got away with that.

Haha yeah. He got away with one in the league cup final against B'ham too. Thank fuck VAR wasn't around them. Lol.

Agreed. I think Ged put together a really great team/squad. A lot of good signings mixed with some good home-grown players: Babbel, Ziege, Hamann, Hyypia, Henchoz. Some very solid players.

The football was awful for the most part though.

Generally can't think of another CB as good but i'm not old as some of you soo i'd say best CB i've seen for us in over 30 years.

Him & Allison changed everything for us, just should've won more sadly.

We were robbed of 2 titles to be fair and a Champions League

He probably is the best we've had.

I was gutted Ziege turned out so poor for us btw he was awesome before joining, anyway not a CB

This is Kev’s best ever thread

Konate Van Dijk

What a pairing

Love Hyypia that volley v Juve and that he wasn’t the quickest but was a yard ahead in his head, I think he went through his first season without getting a booking
