I think he said something about Liverpool as well. Iād imagine there was more to it than a throwaway comment like that in any case.

Fair enough itās nice that a CB gets it for once, and it is between him and sterling, but imo Raheem deserved it more

Perfectly fine with VVD getting it so long as Liverpool donāt win the title.

Is that the first Dutchman since Bergkamp, to win it?
Canāt really argue with it. I think the argument that VVD is more important to Liverpool than Sterling is to City is a fair one. Liverpool would be far weaker without VVD. However, I would have gone for Sterling too, though what he does off the pitch may have swayed me there.

Horseface surely won it one of the years??
Did Van Persie or Van Nisteltwat never win it?
Not sure.
Edit: Yep, Ruud in 2002. RvP in 2012.

Heās been instrumental in turning them into a team that can get 90+ points. Without him, their ceiling is considerably lower.
Agree with @Phoebica that heās been more important to Liverpool this season when compared to Sterling. Both had fantastic seasons but VVD edges it. Best defender in the world right now.
He marshals their whole defensive unit immensely well, gives confidence and composure to all the players around him. Deserves it even if Liverpool donāt win the league.

Whatās all this aura chat I keep hearing about van Dijk - didnāt know this was a thing lol
No idea why he just stands and watches as Sancho puts the ball into a gaping net. Lazy cunt couldnāt be arsed to close down.
Heās trying to cover two positions, because Gomez went walkabout.
And Gomez went walkabout because TTA was miles behind the play.
VVD should never have been in any discussion of greatest CBs when his career was an 18 month patch at Liverpool where everything went perfectly well for him.
Positionally suspect, lazy and heavily reliant on his physical abilities.
He had lot of issues with concentration at Southampton and those issues have become a problem again post ACL injury where his body isnāt where it was.
