OPINION
Virgil van Dijk had a night to forget when the Netherlands lost 3-2 to Germany on Sunday night in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, but it is not a surprise to see some Liverpool fans on Twitter have given a mixed reaction to his performance. Van Dijk was part of a team that conceded three goals, but it seems that a few fans were looking at his performance through red-tinted spectacles. Yes, there were times when the ex-Southampton centre-back looked good at the back. On the whole he did a decent job of limiting Germany’s chances. However teams defend together, and he was part of a team that conceded too many goals against an international rival in a very high-stakes encounter. Van Dijk has had a very good season at Anfield but he will definitely be disappointed with the way he and his team-mates played on Sunday night at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

So just because Gnabry played a shot past VVD,the whole internet shut down.
You see ehn,when one is good,everyone wants him or her to fail,so they can have a hold of something you are not good at.
VVD is not good,he is perfect at what he does.— Ragnar Lothbrok (@DozieLfc) March 25, 2019

Funny how Gnabry "does VVD" but actually never gets past him ???
Van Dijk did the right thing ..his only option was to shoot which turned out to be a great goal#Liverpool#NEDDUI #LFC #Vandijk
