da 888casino： Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting some comments from Ronald Koeman, who has criticised Virgil van Dijk for being too “laid back”.
Liverpool’s defence has been completely transformed since the arrival of van Dijk, and the Dutch international’s individual qualities aren’t the only reason for that.
The colossal centre back is a fantastic leader, and exerts a real calmness over the rest of the Reds’ defence, but Netherlands manager Koeman thinks he might be a bit too calm.
“I know him so well – and that means I know where all his little faults are,” the former Everton boss said.
“Virgil has to improve. Not a lot. But sometimes he is a little too laid back. That needs to change.

“There are moments as a defender when you should be no more than three feet away from the striker you are marking.
“And, particularly in Van Dijk’s case, because of the strength and power he has he is too laid back.”
Van Dijk is a phenomenal defender, but he can his languid style can sometimes be a bit too casual, so Koeman’s criticism could well make him an even better player if he takes it on board.
Premier League strikers like Troy Deeney and Glenn Murray have often spoken about how powerful van Dijk is, and he could certainly use that power even more if he was a little more switched on in certain situations.
Liverpool fans aren’t too impressed by the comments though, particularly as they are coming from the former Everton manager.
