Troy Deeney says Liverpool now have a player who is just a ‘monster’ with his performances
Liverpool won 1-0 at Crystal Palace this weekend to continue their fine start to the season under Arne Slot.
A first-half goal from Diogo Jota ensured another win for the Reds as they continue to keep well w✨ithin the title race alongside Arsenal and Man City.
Slot has been lucky in that he’s come in to a top side and despite only addin💜g Federico Chiesa in the summer, things are going well.
Of course, Slot has been blessed by having some top players in the ranks like Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and goalkeeper, Alisson Becker.
This weekend at Pa♔lace, a number of those key players were crucial.
And according to Troy Deen🔯ey, it was the performance of൩ captain Van Dijk that was really impressive.
Troy Deeney lauds ‘monster’ Liverpool man Virgil van Dijk
Speaking about Van Dijk for his latest team of the week, Deeney lauded the Liverpool captain’s performance at Palace🍃.
“Monster. Powerhouse. He n🌜ever looks worried or concerned. The complaints about a penalty were daft, it was really good defending,” Deeney said.
“The player wasಞ never getting there and Van Dijk just made sure. It was another captain-like performance from the big centre-half, who Liverpool need to tie down to a new contract as soon as possible.”
Van Dijk continues to shine and new contract is needed
There was a𒆙 period when Virgil van Dijk looked like being a touch ovಌer the hill but this season, he looks back to his imperious best.
Liverpool won the league comfortably when Van Dijk was at his best 🐼and with th💙e skipper looking the business again, they’re right back in the mix again.
Van Dijk has won plenty of praise over his career and even this season, he’s been lauded by the likes of Gabby Agbonl🌳♒ahor for his performances.
If Van Dijk carries on as is, then a second Premier Leag🌌ue title might well be on the cards for the Reds.
