He isnt better than Van Dijk.

On current form he is. I have been impressed with him recently and has probably been our best player taking into account the minutes that he has played.

He is playing better than Van Dijk, albeit the sample size isnt huge considering he was injured off the back of a game at Fulham where he was poor. But the post indicated that he is a better player.

He's only had two league appearances. Love the guy but he's barely played .
VVD was imperious in the second half of last season when he looked fully over the injury. Has looked a bit sluggish so far this year but that could be said about nearly everyone.
Joel walks back into the team now though and never seems to miss a beat after his frequent injuries.

the most under rated player in the premier league.

it pisses me off whenever there is a combined team and its always Matip whose left out for a far inferior opposition player

Get in Joel. Brilliant as ever at both ends of the pitch

Dim Glas · « **Reply #4526 on:** September 13, 2022, 09:56:07 pm »

I love him, he is one of my absolute favourite ever Liverpool players

Ray K · « **Reply #4527 on:** September 13, 2022, 09:59:08 pm »

He really makes all the difference. We look a completely different team with him and Thiago playing. Well in the big giraffe.

Samie · « **Reply #4528 on:** September 13, 2022, 09:59:14 pm »

How the fuck did we get him on a free?

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #4529 on:** September 13, 2022, 10:00:02 pm »

He has to be up there with the best ball-playing defenders. His dribbling solves many problems because it draws the opposition out and creates space for us.

tornado · « **Reply #4530 on:** September 13, 2022, 10:01:04 pm »

How many runs did he make today with the ball, that extra option and we just look like a different team.

And great goal btw!

Fiasco · « **Reply #4531 on:** September 13, 2022, 10:01:15 pm »

He's genuinely one of the best centre halves to ever play for us. He really is that good. Sami cost us peanuts and gave us wonderful service; Joel is at least on par with that.

Joel is a couple levels above, and like any decent fan, I love(d) Sami.

Not just for what he’s helped us win, but in overall play, defensively sami was of course really good, but Joel not only is a really good defender, he is one of the very best we’ve had at bringing the ball out and linking the attack. He’s is the all round package.

Samie · « **Reply #4533 on:** September 13, 2022, 10:07:07 pm »

Also lets be honest Big Sami was slower than an old tortoise.

Absolutely agree. One of the best out there, not many outside Liverpool will agree though, hugely underrated.

We always look and play better with Joel in the team. One of the classiest centre backs that's ever played for us. Well deserved goal

Helped that he could read the game like an open book. He could defend while sitting on a chair at his best.

Mozology · « **Reply #4537 on:** September 13, 2022, 10:11:26 pm »

Our 2nd best CB during the Prem era

1. Virg
2. Joel
3. Konate
4. Sami
5. Gomez

Matip is a legend. That smile is infectious.

A-Bomb · « **Reply #4541 on:** September 14, 2022, 12:12:37 am »

Irrespective of the goal tonight, he was MOTM.

Was a brick wall in defense and commanded the play.....VVD has some competition here as our best defender, and has done for at least 12 months.

An absolute legend, who has quietly been ignored.

Lone Star Red · « **Reply #4542 on:** September 14, 2022, 12:12:47 am »

Should have been our POTY last season and he’s picked up right where he left off.

rhysd · « **Reply #4543 on:** September 14, 2022, 12:18:56 am »

He was magnificent tonight.

I love him. One of my favourite ever Liverpool players.

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #4544 on:** September 14, 2022, 12:49:11 am »

Got to be one of the most underrated CBs to grace the league

Rarely if ever hear him mentioned outside of our fans

Ghost Town · « **Reply #4545 on:** September 14, 2022, 01:13:25 am »

A giant of a giant

jckliew · « **Reply #4546 on:** September 14, 2022, 01:48:32 am »

The most under rated player in the team. Joel.

Banquo's Ghost · « **Reply #4547 on:** September 14, 2022, 02:45:59 am »

I love the way that when he forages forward, the opposition seem thunder struck with indecision (probably admiration too) and rarely does anyone close him down. He can find a killer pass too.

KirkVanHouten · « **Reply #4548 on:** September 14, 2022, 02:47:07 am »

His passing is so valuable. The pass to Jota for Trent's shot deserved a goal.

Doesnt matter, theyre both good and they both play. What matters Matip is much better than.Gomez in buildup

Best free in LFC history.

There’s not really an argument against that statement.

Lynndenberries · « **Reply #4551 on:** September 14, 2022, 03:11:32 pm »

So composed on the ball and his relationship with Virgil is excellent. It gets taken for granted at times.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4552 on:** September 14, 2022, 06:56:38 pm »

His passing was excellent yesterday, it was forceful and drove the game forwards

He’s on pretty much the same wage as Cole you know..

It’s fucking sickening the money we wasted on a washed up player.

Was lacking a bit of puff, wasn't he?

McSquared · « **Reply #4556 on:** September 14, 2022, 08:06:19 pm »

He’s no glamour player, but he is effective and makes things happen. One of our only decent progressive dribblers who likes to take on a man. Gives the other team something to think about. He’s pretty good in defence too, streets ahead of gomez and playing better than vvd right now. If only he could stay fit

I heard his wages were 10k and a case of duty-free Rothmans per week. Any truth in that?

Joe Cole makes the Downing, Carrol, Adam signings look like masterstrokes in comparison.

I remember him blowing out of his arse after sprinting from the halfway line for a one-on-one chance which he missed. Got sent off 45 minutes into his league debut too. Just an absolute flop.
