Holland star Virgil van Dijk has been a revelation for Liverpool

The defensive duo have been revelations for the Reds, however McNab believes they both would have jumped at the chance to come to the Emirates had Dutch maestro Dennis Bergkamp and Scot Frank McLintock been asked to intervene.He told The Sun: We shot ourselves in both feet by not signing Van Dijk and Robertson.I couldnt imagine Andy Robertson turning us down if Frank McLintock had got involved in talks.And the same applies to Bergkamp if hed have had a quiet word in Van Dijks ear then it could have been us at the top.The Gunners favourite admits he was baffled that they didnt make a statement of intent by signing Van Dijk who joined rivals Liverpool in a world record 75m deal this time last year.He explained: Van Dijk has to be one of the best centre-backs the Premier League has seen in ages.3

Andy Roberton has also proved to be an outstanding acquisition

For the life of me I really cant understand why we didnt go for him when he was at Southampton.Hes the player that Arsenal have been crying out for since Tony Adams stopped playing, because hes a real leader.Hes comfortable with the ball, hes very composed under pressure and above all else hes a colossus who makes everyone around him look better.McNab, 75, is also a huge admirer of Scotland international Robertson, who joined the Merseyside outfit from Hull. He added: Robertson has been brilliant, a joy to watch for ageing full-backs like me.Liverpool took a gamble because you never know how someone will cope when they move to a big club where theres pressure and scrutiny all the time. But Jurgen Klopp really did his homework.The two sides meet on Saturday evening at Anfield– live on talkSPORT – as Liverpool look to extend their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Not a bad line up but slightly concerned about Robles in goal. But must trust RM I suppose. We all need to be focused and if everything clicks into place then we might get a winnable replay.

Also on this day, Bob McNab makes his debut for Arsenal. The left back doesn't make much of a difference, as the Gunners lose 3-1 to a strong Leeds United team at Highbury. But McNab will go on to help Arsenal win the 1970 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and both the Football League and the FA Cup, "the Double," in 1971.
