Good Morning Lads
What a performance and what a win. I think what pleased me most was how comfortable the defence was. The setup of the team completely shutdown a dangerous Leicester side.
But with all the plaudits flying about for Robertson, Milner, Jota etc, I think one guy has been missed out - Joel Matip.
It’s such a shame that this lad keeps picking up injuries. He never lets us down when he plays. I counted about 4-5 crucial headed clearances last night. His positional play was spot on and his composure on the ball was faultless.
Let’s not forget that it was Big Joel who partnered Van Dijk to the Champions League crown in 2019.
I know Joe Gomez has his qualities and is the preferred choice but he does have the occasional lapse in concentration. If both were fit, I know who I’d pick - Matip.
Excellent performance from the lad
Joel Matip

I prefer Matip to Gomez all day, just his injuries haven't helped him out of late.

This.
He wins every header, still has pace, and is good on the ball. That cross field Hollywood pass to Robbo in 2nd half was not even acknowledged by the commentators. If he stays fit we win the league.

Yeah hes a top class CB, just been his injuries.
Has always been a slight bit better than Joe in my eyes

Ive always preferred matip to Gomez. Hes been really unlucky that anytime hes found himself out the team its because he has got injured then cant get back in as gomez hadnt really put a foot wrong in his place.
If he could stay fit hed be one of the best defenders around. Unfortunately i think we all know within the next 4 weeks he will be out again with some sort of knock.

put him away unitl the brighton game please.
not sure how to manage it but if he plays against Atlanta the outcome is inevitable.
