Quite right. Everyone knows it should be Joel Mapit

Moel Jatip!

[Bobinhood]

His little known cousin Just Thatip played in the French and Greek Leagues for years.

Korean cousin, Sukwon...

[Lynndenberries]

Thought he was excellent. He still can't score from corners, but luckily that didn't matter

[farawayred]

I thought there were more mistakes in his game today that we are used to seeing, but that may be because of loosing rhythm when he’s not in the side. Still much better than playing him every game and letting him get injured.

[Legs]

He has a new name I watched an NBC stream and Arlo White and Le Saux kept calling him MARtip.

At first I thought it was an Everton player with name Martin or something !

[RainbowFlick]

Feel like his passing has been weird lately and he's been a bit rash. Maybe he's traded some of his dependability for lack of injury.

Nice game

[newterp]

He was playing midfield today.

(Clearly why Klopp said no issues taking Henderson off)

[red1977]

One day, one day! one of those dribbles is gunna finish with a thundercunt in the top corner.

["Bobber" Thanks :)]

He went on a few adventures today

[On Axis]

Love those runs. I hope one day he dances through into the box and bangs one in.

[farawayred]

Yeah, those runs were very nice to see, no one was prepared for that. The Wolves' players were like "Wtf, wtf, you get to him, no you do..." The only bad part of that is that Fabinho is not fast enough to cover for him.

[BarryCrocker]

Thought he could have been involved a bit more. 

No Show Jo

[Brissyred]

He was hilarious in the Alison save clip posted in the av thread [https://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/r8x3ly/ali_save_and_matip_reaction_to_flag_not_being/][/url].
A proper Basil Fawlty moment.

[BarryCrocker]

Obviously a Morris Day and The Time fan.

[PoetryInMotion]

I think it was because that was clearly offside, the linesman didn't put it up, the whole play went on and after Alisson makes the save, the linesman puts his flag up. This happened around 3 times in the game and he was rightly pissed off.

[jackh]

Welcome back

Hope he stays retired now and doesn't do an about turn if/when Cameroon qualify for World Cup

Reckon we need a new thread title here - hopefully someone feeling some creative inspiration can step up...!

It's almost five years since his return from that brief FIFA ban, and since then he's played 100-odd games for us & picked up a few silver pots.

Aye, he lost his shit! 

However after that incident, the lino put his flag up STRAIGHT AWAY on all the rest of their offsides.

Exactly what this is from.  Nobody, and I mean nobody, complains more about the linesman not putting his flag up on clear offsides more dramatically then Matip.  I love it.

No, it wasn't that at all.

Occasionally he thinks hes Gwaihir, Greatest and Swiftest of the Eagles of the Third Age, who thrice bore Gandalf away from peril in the service of the fair Peoples and Creatures of Middle Earth.

Damned if im gonna tell him different, just look at the wingspan on the guy.

Nerd!!!!!

Next you will tell us to the Balrog of Khazad Dhum was just a large bat.

Nah it's a demon wreathed in shadow and flame, from a distant,ancient world, a long ago age, round about when James Milner was was mid-career.

Do not incite the Wrath of Joel...

[Yorkykopite]

How great was that centre back's performance at Molineux? Almost faultless. A coach could take Matip's 90 minutes v Wolves and show aspiring centre halves what to do when they have the ball.

[JackWard33]

Excellent again.

He's significantly quicker than most people think - his stride is just so stupidly long its really deceptive

[Dim Glas]

He lopes.

He had another of flailing arm strops at the lino for a late offside again, I love those!

[tubby]

Him lolloping forwards with the ball through midfield is one of the best things about us at the moment, but has anything ever come of it?  He breaks the lines and then seems to always fudge the final pass, like he can't quite believe he's got that far and suddenly has all these options open to him.

He did that again deep into the 2nd half and I think pretty much half the stadium just wanted him to belt it in. He always then plays a pass off to the right flank usually. Safety first. One day, before he leaves, we will see him lash a 25 yarder into the top corner.

Well that would be nice. But you can see why he looks to play someone else in. When a centre back carries the ball from his own half on to the edge of the opponent's box it tends to mean that he's broken at least one line and probably two. There ought therefore to be a Liverpool majority in the box. I'm a bit surprised actually that one of Matip's forays hasn't resulted in a goal in the last few games. 

[Ghost Town]

I thought when he ran it to the edge of the box that he was going to play Jota in with a neat forward slip of a pass. Shame.

He very often goes for the 1-2 .. would love him to get played in once .. I mean the 'off the outside of the boot' lashed skew into the stands would be a shame but what a moment

[blamski]

There are few finer sights in modern football than Joel Matip going for a wander upfield

[Samie]

One day he will do a "Maradona goal" and then the world will see. 

[Nick110581]

He’s class.

[RedSince86]

Love those forward runs, not many CB's in the World better than him at that.

[Longwood NY]

What a player. Personally think he's been a level above Virg recently.

The level of composure, positive passing, positioning on crosses and general man-to-man holding is immense, not to mention the increasingly common pushes into midfield

[RedKenWah]

Saw this on Reddit whenever he goes on his lil runs up field…
