Amazing how Liverpool acquired those two missing elements in Van Dijk and Fabinho and are now crowned European Champions and pushed till the end for a Premier League title.

[acebeater]

So Klopp got Van Dijk and Fabinho, a ball-playing central defender and a 6 that can dictate more from deep, so they become title contender and Champions League winner.

Finally i can understand why klopp really want keita and van dijk really badly.

The last few minutes if this video predicted the 2018/19 season title charge perfectly

[Brian-rpdj]

These videos are by far the best football talks on youtube, thank you all involved

[Brian-hdrb]

man you're a genius, great analysis and you pointed out 2 positions Liverpool was lacking, a CB and a 6, that ended up being van dijk and fabinho to ultimately win the UCL

[zombie]

Seeing this in May 2018, I cannot be more impressed by your insight. The points you made about the defense and the number six position - that is where Van Djik and Keita fit it. Great work!

[ekanem]

the accuracy of this and the other on mo salah is scary. this channel is amazing!

[Prioritypost]

this system is so good when teams are trying to attack us, but i still worry about teams who sit back and would happily take a 0-0 draw, like say West Brom or Manchester United

[petermclaughlin]

Please do one on Leicesters title winning tactics

[grimmortal]

Watching this after the 3-1 win against City at Anfield. Looks like Tifo predicted the arrival of Van Dijk and Fabinho!
Y.N.W.A.!

[Sunshineboy]

The VDO ages really well. VVD was recruited as a ball playing defenders just like you said.

[BoxOfOranges]

This is my favorite Tifo video. I love LFC, the predictions were spot-on, and the music is great

I legit almost cried when you said we're not far from being a great side because now we are. YNWA

[DaGamerDad]

Wow. Coming to this video after the UCL makes it truly remarkable that your predictions were spot on!

[iprofessionalamateur]

Brilliant explanation. And it's true because look at the squad right now. That centre back and 6 has been added to the squad and what a force they are.

[ryanhlfc]

William Carvahlo from Sporting, and Virgil van Dijk from Southampton could be the necessary additions that Joe highlighted in the video

[Mourinho_Fring]

watching liverpool now, i have to say: Really good predictions at the end!

[LFC]

fuck imagine if we could sign Mascherano now at the age we signed him in 2007, along with Van Dijk we'd be unbeatable...

[razer]

I'm a Liverpool fan and i am happy with our starting 11 but i don't think we have the squad depth like City and Chelsea to challenge for the league all it takes is one nasty injury for Mane or Salah and the system is messed.

[realkevg]

who’s still watching after champions league?😂
