Matip might just be

[Comical Aly]

Yeah.

I've made a snap judgment which I'm happy to defend for the next five years.

Said Arn.

 

[moron]

I think he looks boss like. Sometimes you can just tell.

I know - as soon as I saw his body frame when it was decided we would get him - I posted on here about 'Yes - just right' - body frame is perfect. True to life - this we can tell just looking at him. if the physical attributes of a defender are correct - that is nearly half the job done.

Poor Masherano.

 

[cloggypop]

It's one of the reasons why we never signed Cannavaro

 

[KingDing]

Yes I know it's one game but looks to have a similar style to Kompany. Hopefully without the injuries.

 

[Cerberus]

Matip, Maback...

 

[Hansern]

Is this thread one big whoosh? He's played one game for us in the league, for fucks sake.

Should at least give him 2,5 games like Wijnaldum

 

[Hansern]

Yeah he's great,. We're really gonna miss him when he goes to the AFCON in January.

Not involved with the national team at the moment I think, so he wont be going.

IF he keeps putting in good performances, who knows

Wijnaldum is going to be boss

 

[Modo]

He's much more than that.

Comfortable under pressure, good in the air. Can defend one on one. No obvious weaknesses

Perfect for Klopp

Well we haven't seen any of his occasional brain farts yet so...

 

[irishtinker]

He is definitely my favourite Liverpool centre back today. In all seriousness, he has the skill, lets just see if his fitness holds. Would be good to have some stability at the back.

 

[gkmacca]

More importantly, what does Martin Keown think of him?

 

[KopRed]

He kept trying to play deliberate measured long balls in the first half which are either under or over hit.

When he keeps it simple he looks a player.

 

[keniget]

I enjoyed the bursts forward into attack... loving the confidence but here at Liverpool we kinda struggle with the basics. Let's get that down first.

 

[Hansern]

Wijnaldum is going to be boss

He is, and I thought he played well yesterday. Looked much more settled.
Great player.

 

[Hansern]

IF he keeps putting in good performances, who knows

Indeed, but if I remember correctly I think he's not involved due to some argument with the national team management or something.

 

[superchimp]

Yeah.

I've made a snap judgment which I'm happy to defend for the next five years.

it's fine making a judgement on a player after seeing them play a few times, but little stupid to claim he'll be as good as one of our best ever defenders after 1 game.

 

[Rosco]

I said he's the best we've had since Carragher.

That means he's better than Lovren, Sakho a post peak Skrtel and an over the hill Toure.

Its hardly an outlandish claim.

 

[Hansern]

 

[Halmeister]

Should at least give him 2,5 games like Wijnaldum

I've made pretty much every comment on Wijnaldum with the caveat "It's early days but..."

Matip has looked good, but yes it's early days.

Wijnaldum has looked very average, but again, it's early days.

I'm not going to start losing my shit after three games over either player.

 

[manwithnoname]

The best centre back we've had since Carragher retired.

I was about to say that was a bold statement, but being better than the likes of Sakho, Lovren, Toure and Klavan isn't hard.

 

[Gary25]

Early days but yeah he does look good. Strong and composed and seems to love a good headed defensive clearance which is most welcome in our team.

 

[Dreambeliever]

He looked superb against a very strong team.

Hope it continues for another 36 league games.

 

[Hansern]

So, the rest of the season and the first game of 2017/18?

 

[Dreambeliever]

We'll end up level with Utd and needing a play off game to decide the title.
