is VVD the best CB we've ever had

[Nineteenx]

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 😂

Replace Carra

. Carra - should have hung his boots up earlier and had done well to stick to TV Punditry

[justme]

Carragher was a decent enough defender but nothing special,If i recall correctly he started off in midfield? and was too slow for that position. I still can't quite get over why he dived to try to stop an attack against Milan in the final... Talk about leaving yourself for dead.. Thankfully Gerrard had a second half to remember ,and we know what happened not long after!

[Nineteenx]

Too true Justme he was never a top class CB he was at fault for all 3 first half goals in Istanbul too what he’s had for a career and now as a pundit is hugely above what his ability ever warranted

When I wanted Kompany who went for peanuts because of his contract when City had money but no profile was when Rafa tried offloading him to some or somewhere

Remember Ron Yates ??

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.

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.

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
