“Van Dijk, he’s been compelled in all three of those needs tonite – the initially he merely needs to continue to be in position, the second he needs to head it away and also the 3rd he owns to well-signaled. Konate owns gone off and also you’re a defender down and also there’s terribly couple of weaknesses in Van Dijk’s gallery yet this is one of them.”
