'Mediocre': Van der Vaart not impressed with Liverpool, insists 3 players are overrated

"I think we have become a bit blinded," former Ajax and Tottenham player Rafael van der Vaart told Rondo about Liverpool.

"We suddenly think Jordan Henderson is a crazy player. That's just a very normal player. James Milner is also a very normal player. Joe Gomez is also a very normal player.

"Virgil van Dijk is top, the right back and left back are also good. But if things don't go well and those attackers don't have their day, then I think it's just a very mediocre team.

"The only thing I'm afraid of at Ajax is if Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah do have their day, then we have a problem. Then Ajax will never win. Certainly not at Anfield, I don't think Daley Blind and Devyne Rensch are good enough for that."

Hendo, Milner and Gomez have received a fair share of criticism this season. But saying that a team that reached the Champions League final last season and nearly won the quadruble is 'very mediocre' is a bit of a stretch, isn't it?
