For those saying a good player finishes, thought the point is VVD recognises it’s Sissoko and his stronger foot, so stops him passing to Son + forcing him into weaker foot as that has lowest chance of scoring. If it was a different player the implication is VVD plays it differently.

Sissoko started stuttering on the ball about 35 yards from goal
In the Sissoko incident VVD had no choice really. He played the percentages well and got the reward.
It was bog standard defending. Let the shiiiiiit player shoot.

Be had the choice to do what most blackhead defenders do and dive in, thinkingnthey had to other choice, all in or bust. He chose the right option. Was outstanding to watch.

freaking Sal Aronica-level defending
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wtf is Sal Aronica?
He didn’t get lucky, in fairness. Anyone that has ever seen Sissoko play football knows he’s shiiiiiit at shooting.

Salvatore Aronica. Blackheaded Napoli defender that had Forza pulling his hair out.
It was pretty good defending. The kind of defending that would have cost you against a lot of other players but he was smart enough that second to be like, ah this guy is a donkey.
Agreed, Edin. It was outstanding to watch, it was at that point that I realised VVD had seen Moussa Sissoko play football.

Or sometimes he genuinely does run away from the player cos it’s sissoko and wants a goal kick
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That was absolute world class defending. Most other defenders would have dived in.
If you think that was anything other than world class defending then you simply don't understand the game. There's no two ways about it.

I thought it was pretty basic to be fair. Sissoko is the worst finisher in the league. And he was on his left foot. Any defender with half a brain makes sure he can't pass to Son and trusts that he will miss or the keeper will save it.

I don't know why Liverpool fans bother with some topics. It was the single best piece of defending that season and one of the best of all time. You expect this mob mentality to accept that?
If Rio or Vidic had ever done that we would have needed to move to Mars to escape the giddiness and "world class defending."
I mean we are still hearing about Rooney's bicycle kick, which he badly shinned and was lucky to get on target. I've seen it called the greatest goal of all time on the United board.
This week alone I've seen better goals when watching highlights shows of the Belarus Premier League.
