Matip's brainfade that cost Schalke a second goal in the EL game against Shakhtar Donetsk.



Now let's discuss Lucas.

------

Admins - there's a problem with the media bbcode parsing in handling URLs from streamable. If you just copy and paste the full URL, it extracts the wrong portion to feed streamable, resulting in a video lookup error. For example, doing this:
Code: 
[MEDIA=streamable]https://cdn.streamable.com/video/mp4/6lcq.mp4[/MEDIA]
or just simply this without explicitly using the media bbcode:
Code: 
https://cdn.streamable.com/video/mp4/6lcq.mp4

yields this instead of the embedded video clip above:



This is because the parsing results in this (wrong):
Code: 
[MEDIA=streamable]video[/MEDIA]

instead of this (correct):
Code: 
[MEDIA=streamable]6lcq[/MEDIA]
 
The addon requires updating..

Please use the feedback forum for this sort of stuff..

I will get to it at some point over the weekend
 
Hopefully it's a mistake he will learn from. Would rather he made these mistakes now rather than when he pulls on the red shirt!
 
I thought this thread was going to promote the idea of a Lucas Matip partnership for next season.

Tbf Lucas has looked our most commanding Centre Back this season.. Probably because he looks to organise the back 4..

@Arn will love this..

Lucas? He's played there for what, 3 games?
He's done a good job there but he is in no way the CB answer for the future.
 
Every video I've saw of Matip has been underwhelming to say the least. There are some very ropey ones going about. I hope Klopp knows a lot more than me, but first impressions from apparent highlight reels haven't been impressive. If everyone was available, I'd start with Skrtel and Gomez next season. If we could get Alessio Romagnoli, Rugani, or Emanuel Mammana, that'd be ace.

I think it's fairly safe to say that Matip will be coming straight into the starting 11.

Yeah, that's what I fear. Muchness of the same. Different name, same inadequate defending. He just reminds me of a striker trying to defend, like if a team are down to 9 men and the manager reverts a player to central defence even though it's unnatural to them, but does it regardless for some solidity. That's the vibe I get. He certainly has an eye for goal, so he has forward-like instincts, which will be a bonus.




This is apparently highlights...Those frustrated by Lucas` persistent clumsy fouling will be pulling whatever hair they've got left out.

You're not in the team of the year so far in the BL being shit at defending.
He'll be great if we give him some time.

Is there a source for this?
I'm just fed up with how distinctly average our purchases have been for a number of years now. I'm happy to have my mind changed. Just have reservations from what I've seen of him.

Yes, I love it. I won't say that I told you so. Fooball have changed. Not many of the best strikers are great in the air. It is more important that you can read the game, pass the ball and make great tackles. If you can read the game very well then you get the timing right and get first to the ball.
