Virgil van Dijk trended on Twitter after 30 minutes today – not because he’d made a mistake – but because he was putting in an absolutely colossal performance.

The Dutchman made tackles, headers and showed complete composure on the ball in the first 45 minutes – showing us perhaps for the first time why Jurgen Klopp spent £75m on him.
He’s not currently 100% match fit, so if the first half was a sign of what will happen when he’s fully up to speed, we’re very excited.
That’s why we signed Van Dijk. Switched on all of the time, sees what the forward is going to do before he even does it. fantastic block.
