From February 27th 2019 until February 24th 2020:
During this period Liverpool played 38 Premier League games, won 36 and drew 2. 110 out of 114 points.
Picked up a CL trophy too, aswell as playing some very memorable matches.
The greatest peak in english football history.
These ratings doesn’t hold that much value, but if anything the ratings from 2015-2017 proves that he was top even before signing for Liverpool. Meaning his longevity in the league is 11 seasons (peak), which is SCARY for the likes of Terry and Rio.
He’s the goat.
Highest-rated centre-back in each season since Virgil van Dijk made his Premier League debut:
🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk - 2015/16 ⭐️
🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk - 2016/17 ⭐️
🇩🇪 Shkodran Mustafi - 2017/18
🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk - 2018/19 ⭐️
🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk - 2019/20 ⭐️
🇫🇷 Kurt Zouma - 2020/21
🇨🇲 Joel Matip - 2021/22

🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk - 2023/24 ⭐️
🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk - 2024/25 ⭐️
🇧🇷 Gabriel Magalhães - 2025/26
Virgil van Dijk has finished as the highest-rated centre-back in six of the 11 seasons since his Premier League debut. 🤯💪
Most likely is Kvara. Followed by Neves and Doue.
If he’s got a different definition of «young player» than me, it could be Vitinha.
He said it wasn’t Olise, but it’s a good chance that he isn’t telling the truth there.
Guys, I was being a gentleman... but some Arsenal fans are getting too comfortable
You finally won the war after 22 years of banter 😂🏆

Manuel Pellegrini provided a superb summary of James Milner in a 2015 interview with @sidlowe:
“I’m Milner’s No1 fan. Find me a more complete English player. There are players who’re better technically, yes. Quicker players, yes. Players who head better, yes. But show me one who does all the things Milner does well. There isn’t one.
“It’s hard to leave him out. Respect, commitment and performance level: 10/10, fantastic. He’s polyfunctional: full-back – the only position he doesn’t like – attacking midfield, wide. I played him as a forward and the team averaged three goals a game. He gives everything.
“You leave him on the bench and he’s absolutely furious but watch him during the game: encouraging, shouting, supporting. And in the next training session he kills himself.
“Milner’s a phenomenon, a guy with big balls and a heart this big,” Pellegrini continues, opening out his hands. “Intelligent, great mentality, one of those players that when you leave him out you’re left with this feeling of injustice; it hurts because he should always play.”
Best decision of the night.
It’s past the 6th minute mark, you have a corner, instead of rushing to take it, he was even adjusting his cloth and strolling.
PGMOL needs to learn how to officiate a game.
