Damien Delaney

It's a concentration issue.

When you get tired, the concentration goes.

So he could be coming to the end of that cycle.

So Liverpool now are starting to see the warning signs.

So they might think next summer we can still cash in on him.

We can get money.

So that's...

the choice that they're going to have.

Like I said, similar to Mo Salah, in him last year, his numbers were still high, whereas he's had a huge fall-off this year.

So I think Liverpool now could start saying, can we recoup some money for Van Dijk?

Because I'm sure he would rock up an AC Milan or Juventus, and they'd pay 70 million quid for him.

And you go, listen, we've had a huge level of service out of him.

Or do you hang on with him?

But he looks really, really sluggish.

He looks really, really slow.

He looks a little bit...

looks fatigued mentally and physically he just doesn't look in tune with what's going on there he's been on the rev limiter for a long time and you can only stay there for a certain period of time you know your mind and your body and like I said he was the world's best centre back for a number of years and he could just be coming to the end of that cycle now is there an Indian summer in him you know can he find some form to you know in the end of the season but

No, Liverpool will be looking to his replacement.

They might eke another year out of him next year and put this year down to a down year, but the cracks have appeared and they're only going to get bigger now.

And unfortunately, that just happens.
