Gary Neville admits he was wrong about 'monstrous' Liverpool star

English football star Gary Neville has admitted he was wrong about Virgil van Dijk, hailing the Liverpool star as a “monster”. "I thought Van Dijk was a good player at Southampton, but I didn't think he was worth £75million,” said Neville, speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast. “And I didn't think he would have the impact on Liverpool's defence that he's had. "He's a monster and is looking a bit like Jaap Stam. It looks like he just throws people out of the way. "You look at that midfield, with [Georginio] Wijnaldum, [Naby] Keita and [James] Milner, with [Jordan] Henderson still to come in. There is some strength in depth there. "Can Liverpool reproduce that high-intensity football Saturday-Wednesday? And did they need another centre-forward in case [Roberto] Firmino is out? "Because I do think there is a big drop in intensity in their play when him or [Mohamed] Salah are not playing."
