I'm soooo happy we've bought him. He'll make a mistake here and there as all defenders do, and people will wail '75m for that!', but just looking at his leadership in one game fills with me with joy. He's a boss man. He's the alpha we've missed so desperately to lead the pack. First game and he was demanding shit from everyone around him, telling people their jobs. Praise the lord! This is a quantum shift in our prospects, I really believe that.
 
So happy when we were linked with him, and was happy to play the waiting game.
We’re going to be so much better with him in the side. If the other four defenders aren’t up to it (Lovren certainly isn’t), we should also be looking at finding him a partner in the summer.
 
I wonder what the dynamic between him and Loven will be like? I bet Lovren is not going to like getting barked at by the new colossus in town!
 
His early critics have been awfully quiet.

He was very good today. There is an assured calmness to him. He didn't look out of place at all in his first start.

By comparison Matip plays like a fanny, he's all over the place most of the time.

There's an amazing bit in the game where Van Dyk and Matip both go up for a header in the Everton box (might have been when he scored, or his previous header that was straight at Pickford).

VVD is a colossus, wins the ball easily and is simply magnificent. Matip has jumped a bit earlier, misses the ball with his stupid 50p head, then gets nudged in the back and flies like a fucking wet dishcloth through the air and almost ends up in the fucking goal.

Like the limp-wristed twat that he is.

(Conveniently missing how Matip was pushed by Holgate in the back with two hands)
 
Not disputing that he is but it looked to me like he exaggerated the fall to bring notice on the fact that he had been shoved in the back.
For me that means 1) he had no desire to try and win the ball, or 2) weak

He's annoying me recently.
