It’s such a shame Matip is so injury prone because he is absolutely class. He probably would do better in a less physical league. I don’t think he would be an easy player to replace, which is why it’s so annoying that we can’t count on him.

In that respect Matip is actually a very easy player to replace as we have never been able to rely on his quality or build any sort of long term partnership involving him.
Is an arguement that could be made for a number of our current squad tbh, but that is probably a chat for another thread.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

I’m just glad Kabak is settling in and improving. He’s looked a lot more confident in the last couple of games and I think having Fabinho’s protection helps him and Nat.Comment

Very true re: the slight downshift in the quality of a replacement.Originally posted by Jaco_Pastorious View Post
By not pinching fabinho for dedence and allowing him to rule the midfield it has allowed kabak and phillips to fill the defensive void.
We lost vvd, gomez, matip, fabinho and henderson, so five 1st team players, but if they were our 1st five defenders we would be down to the tea ladies.
Squad depth counts for **** all if they are never available. Sick notes out

Just posted some decent stats in the Turkey game against the Netherlands... maybe he could turn out to be a bargain signing after all? It's a watching brief...Comment

He’ll be up against Haaland on Saturday, so that will be a good test. Haaland was poor against the mighty Gibraltar, but I guess he’ll be more motivated against Turkey.BlankComment

Did he not give away a peno and was at fault for 2nd goal?Comment

Looking like he’d be a bargain at £18m.It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake.Comment

He really impressed me yesterday, was very confident in possession and showed some real composure. Growing into it, plenty of time left to see what he is about though.Originally posted by memzey View Post
Was the reports in £'s or €'s? I can't recall but if it ends up being £15m even as 4th choice it looks a good price.Vive la FranceComment
