Love you big Joel. Want to give him a hug tonight.

Kashinoda · « **Reply #4641 on:** September 30, 2023, 08:45:25 pm »

Every game from him lately seems to be a step up and today he was basically prime Matip.

Fucking cruel that goal.

Brilliant today and back to his best this season. Didn’t deserve that, but the winners medal will make up for it

DelTrotter · « **Reply #4643 on:** September 30, 2023, 08:51:47 pm »

He was incredible, awesome to see him playing so well again.

Chin up Joel! Fantastic performance for 96 minutes and 50 seconds. We go again!

Mistakes happen, was back to his best one moment aside.

After a day like that I just knew something like that incident would decide the game, nothing bad to say against any of our defenders today. Ali, Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk and Robbo everyone of them was very good. Wipe yourself down Joel, it's going to be a journey this season.

Topwings! · « **Reply #4647 on:** October 1, 2023, 06:41:08 am »

Feel bad for him. No-one in the team deserved that result. Everyone, including Joel, was just heroic to the end.

Poor fella… he’d be gutted. I hope his confidence doesn’t suffer, he’s been great this season

RedG13 · « **Reply #4649 on:** October 1, 2023, 07:13:20 am »

Great game for him, terrible way for it end. He will bounce back. Alisson giving him support after it was great to see

Hedley Lamarr · « **Reply #4650 on:** October 1, 2023, 07:49:08 am »

Needs to start on Thursday, important we get him back on the pitch as soon as possible. What happened was gut-wrenching as he was absolutely immense.

Lofty Ambitions · « **Reply #4651 on:** October 1, 2023, 09:57:48 am »

With the advantage they had, with shot after shot into our area, it was always going to bounce in at some stage. Did so in a cruellest possible manner.

I could not love all fo you more than I did yesterday. Chin up big man! YNWA is there for a reason

filopastry · « **Reply #4652 on:** October 1, 2023, 10:32:34 am »

Couldn't be more proud of him and the rest of the team for how they responded to adversity yesterday, the end was just one of those things. Onwards and upwards

bird_lfc · « **Reply #4653 on:** October 1, 2023, 10:35:17 am »

Awful stroke of luck. Hopefully it doesn’t knock him because he played brilliantly

agree completely. and the Kop needs to show him how much we appreciate him as well.

It's insane so many were writing him off after a bad season with our midfield in the shape it was. Literally just the season before he was getting praised to high heaven as better than Van Dijk!

Think he will be massive for us

Sadly, it’s far from “insane”. The Transfer thread in particular was poisonous over the summer - and Matip was far from alone in being written off. I could go on, but there’s little point.

He's a strong fella with a good head on his shoulders, so I doubt it will, especially after all the support he has gotten since.

Kalito · « **Reply #4659 on:** October 2, 2023, 01:15:05 am »

Terrific performance. Unlucky with the OG, shit happens, but played fantastic.

A fucking legend, one of our very very best.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #4660 on:** October 21, 2023, 03:41:38 pm »

Thought he was brilliant once he came on, didn’t put a foot wrong.

Keith Lard · « **Reply #4663 on:** October 22, 2023, 03:32:42 pm »

I was worried that we would see a performance drop off from Joel this season, but thankfully it looks like we’re going to get at least another season of quality performances from him. Never ceases to amaze me how quality a free signing this guy has been.

stockdam · « **Reply #4664 on:** November 12, 2023, 04:07:11 pm »

Excellent game today. He glides past people as if they aren’t there. Very harsh yellow but he didn’t put a foot wrong today.

JP! · « **Reply #4665 on:** November 12, 2023, 04:07:43 pm »

'Finished at the top level' my arse. Class. Probably one of the club's best ever signings pound for pound.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #4666 on:** November 12, 2023, 04:08:21 pm »

He did really well after getting that crazy yellow card, well played Joel.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #4667 on:** November 12, 2023, 04:09:45 pm »

He’s ace

That block he made, class!

Loved his crazy Joel strop at that phantom foul and booking.

Great game, surprised we kept him on when Quansah came on.

Give this legend a new contract!

He did well after that Yellow(which was not good a decision)

Been absolutely top this season.

Nicked from Jason...

Matip booked for being fouled (Tierney gives freekick against Matip somehow; then books Matip for reaction) - https://v.redd.it/zvs81zgmjxzb1

You see it with a few modern players where they play to the cameras or the fans with their reactions to refs but that was pure, unadulterated, classic Matip.

his reaction was 100% understandable. that wasn't a foul in a million years.

ConqueredAllOfEurope · « **Reply #4676 on:** November 13, 2023, 04:14:56 pm »

His runs forward are fantastic. Of course he's been making these runs for years but it really does give us another passing option and I don't see many teams tracking his runs.

I'm waiting for the day he rockets one into the top corner from 30 years a la Agger after one of those runs.

Yep, his one against Leeds is one my favourite goals under Klopp.

I wish he'd do it some more though, it's a beautiful sight.
