Virgil van Dijk “obtained away with” making gain serviceability of of his joint “as a weapon” in Liverpool’s loss to Fulham on Sunday, according to a previous umpire who tagged the Reds skipper a “serial crook”.
Van Dijk didn’t appreciate the unspoiled of arcades for the Reds, favor most his teammates, 3 shindigs in merely 14 first-fifty percent minutes saw Fulham condemn Arne Adapter’s side to their first away loss of the season.
The captain didn’t permeate himself in splendor as Rodrigo Muniz took a remarkable touch to supply gain serviceability of away from him and also stomaching the host’s 3rd of the gallery, but Keith Hackett– a previous PGMOL and also FIFA official – underscored a puzzle by Van Dijk on midfielder Sander Berge as “horribly perilous”.
Remarking the responsive to doubt verdicts in the gallery, Hackett enlightened Football Wizard: “We currently attend an additional mishap involving Van Dijk, with Berge. Van Dijk swings his forearm at Sander Berge, intentionally utilizations his joint, it’s an questionable gain serviceability of of the joint.
“The joint as proper away as it’s gained gain serviceability of of as a weapon is horribly perilous to players and also on this party it wasn’t mottled by VAR, neither the umpire, and also Virgil van Dijk obtained away with what have to have been a readable red card.”
Hackett gained assume after the Merseyside derby that Van Dijk is a ‘serial crook’ to ago up the thoughts of one Joey Barton, of all human beings.
Amid the heavy focus on the nasty by James Tarkowski on Alexis Mac Allister, Barton shared a clip of a similar puzzle by Van Dijk throughout a Victors League accommodate with Napoli in 2018, that he remained clear of penalty for, concocting: ‘Opposite pointers as proper away as it’s Liverpool players on other players. Surely, every man recognizes that.’
Reacting to Barton, Hackett devised: ‘Joey we are sifting at a serial crook who retrieves away with too a lot. This puzzle unrequested.’
After analysing multiple similar historic parties in which he genuinely thumbed the Dutchman remained clear of being confirmed a card, Hackett inevitably concluded after the Fulham gallery: “What we appointment in this contemplate is a collection of parties in which the Liverpool captain, is truthfully recovering away with assents that have to be awarded by the accommodate umpire.”

Jamie Carragher clarified how Fulham introduced a “weakness” of Van Dijk’s on Monday Night Football while analysing Alex Iwobi’s willingness.
Carragher asserted: “The component why Fulham have persuaded it to Van Dijk is… and also something Liverpool have always did not have… a leave-footed centre ago.
“Presently, the component I assume Virgil van Dijk arguably goes to [left back] Andy Robertson is it’s the recognizable create, of training course. It’s not a impoverished create, but perhaps a leave-footed centre ago with the attribute of Van Dijk could primarily go there [and play a long-range pass from left to right and find Mo Salah in space].
“If it’s on the proper side, he’s obtained that enacting hodgepodge in his locker. And that’s why I assume Fulham have persuaded it this side, persuaded Virgil van Dijk onto his leave foot. Provided that they become aware he can’t farce around that create and also he’s participating in farce around the much shorter create.
“He goes to Andy Robertson and also he’s merely obtained to revert to the goalkeeper. He tries a crossfield create, he retrieves it incorrect and also we become aware what takes place. It was a mischief-maker dilemma for him.”
