Joël Matip

[Fosterbloke]

Really like Matip so far



Looks a really really good player



Positionally hes good, hes comfortable on the ball, has a good turn of pace and is decent in the air

His positioning was very noticeable. So calm in being at the right place then striding out of defence.

[marksared]

Hes a Rolls Royce of a player, top top drawer.

[Reece]

Perhaps could've done a wee bit better on their goal but i really like this guy so far. Very cool defender.

[Chris]

He's a bit special. That first half was ridiculous.

[Chiccada]

Massively impressed with this fella. The CB we've been missing for a few years now.

[Rigadon]

He looks very good. In defence, ball at feet, dribbling, passing, in the air - looks very comfortable.

[Kenneth]

Looks as cool as a cucumber 95% of the time. Very promising indeed.

[Leyton388]

We could have finally have found the next Hyypia.

[Fosterbloke]

We could have finally have found the next Hyypia.

Nope, we've found the first Matip.

[Shaggy]

One mistake for the goal but dear me this guy is class. Cool as ****, good on the ball, calm, reads the game really well, dominant in the air. FREE TRANSFER. Looks a hell of a signing.

[destinydude]

Even the mistake only led to a goal because Matic really did well to fake pass and then lob the ball to Costa.

Solid playa.

[baitman]

He is Matip for the captaincy

[G]

He's a big beautiful *******. The calming influence over everyone in defence except Mig cos he's beyond help.

[Liverpool]

think he has a lot more to give going forward seemed to want a neat and tidy game yesterday, as he grows in confidence i'm looking forward to his mad runs

6 days later hes off on his mad runs

[danperkins]

What a cracking first half display that was. Bad mistake for the goal but sure it happens, he looked out on his feet after 70 mins. Beast in the air and nice on the ball, keep waiting for him to get caught out for pace but his positioning so far has been spot on. Thought Lovren was fantastic tonight aswell.
