Jason Cundy believes Virgil van Dijk is ‘overrated’ but fans think they know why he gave the Liverpool star a chance live on talkSPORT.
Liverpoolcame from behind to win against Fulham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday night, coming from 1-0 down to beat the Cottagers 2-1 thanks to goals from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo. Despite the recent win, Van Dijk has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons since Fulham’s opener.The defender’s attempt to counter Fulham’s attacking threat resulted in Andreas Pereira lobbing a loose ball from the edge of the penalty area.
Ferreira raced into the area, outpaced Van Dijk and cut back to Willian, who cut through Liverpool’s defensive line, beat the Dutchman and slotted home.“Van Dijk can do it. Sometimes they show you where to go. “It was a bit rubbish,” former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy told talkSPORT. “He just didn’t send the ball where you didn’t want it to go. To walk..”Co-host Jamie O’Hara was asked to comment on his views on Van Dijk. “Personally, I think it’s overrated!” Kandi continued.
“Personally, I don’t think he’s always at the same level as Sol Campbell, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand. “What was that? Were the two good seasons?” I know people will keep talking about his injury against Everton. It was a really terrible injury.
