Better. He's played like that in pretty much every game this season. Only blip in his game is a tendency to find it all too easy so he'll go on a surging run upfront to liven things up.
I'd be staggered if he was better than VVD. You could pretty much play him in any position on the pitch and he'd be class.
To be fair, I've not seen much of VvD but I doubt fans of other teams have seen as much of Matip as most LFC fans.. The boy is deceptively quick, great reader of the game, good with the ball at his feet, great in the air and during his time at Sahlke played CB, FB and also DMF if required. Don't let the idea of LFC getting him for nothing fool anyone, the boys is quality and certainly one of the best CBs in the league.
bit hyperbolic.... i trust jimmy and jimmy said he was average . I suppose on this short term form we know that David Luiz is wuuuuuurld class
Nothing of the sort, don't rely on other people opinion to form my own.. On current form you can't fault Luiz.. Matip hasn't put a foot wrong since he's been in the side, we'll apart from the stupid lunge for Chelsea's goal at The Bridge. He's be consistently good for Shalke for the last few years, yes, I see the odd game, the joys of BT Sport.. A more juicy worm required next time
no you will know from the beginning of the transfer window that Jimmy didn't think much of Matip and said he had mistakes in him and that he wasn't the answer. He was hopeful and supportive but in his mind he wouldn't be the real deal. That may have changed now (such as how opinions of Brenden have changed) but that was his initial feelings. @Jimmy Squarefoot Mito was always a fanboy. He's big and powerful. That is Fanboy Mitos requirements
If he's that good someone will snatch him eventually. You might as well let us have him. We're your friends, I've even got the username to prove it.
Ibrahimovic is leaving Man Utd "We had a week when we lost three games, that has never happened to me in 15 years." https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...movic-i-can-conquer-america-manchester-united
Got to say you never got a chance to see how good matip is given how deep you played. Van dijk was supreme last week. alderweirld is good but not as good on the ball as matip All really really good players back in the prem. If i were thinking on a top 5 cbs in prem all 3 would be in... and id add mustafi at arsenal in but i woyld still be looking at koscielny or kompany as my other picks.
