Admire his determination to stick it in our net. Alisson denied him at Anfield, lino done him at Old Trafford but he got it done tonight.

 

He's a massive liability. His positional sense is piss poor. He's been incredibly lucky this season to have only scored 1 og.

Liability my ass. He bitches a bit much for my liking but hey they can’t all be stoic now can they? The own goal was hardly his fault and if he leaves it Lewandowski scores anyway.

 

He wouldn’t be first choice if Gomez was fit but, there’s a debate to be had about him and Lovren but I’d take him over the latter.

I think it helps him that VvD has taken on a lot of the aerial stuff as I get the impression that he doesn't like the physical challenges.

 

Virgil, Joe, Joel & Dejan are a very decent pot of central defenders. I know it is very rare that they are all fit together ( Fabinho can cover in a crisis ), but I wouldn't change them this summer I would concentrate spending elsewhere.

I think he has been excellent. Probably the best at taking the ball forward from defence, alongside Gomez. He's third choice for me, and a significant improvement on the walking mistake that is Lovren. VVD > Gomez > Matip > a picture of VVD > Lovren

I'm not a massive fan of his dribbles from the back. Risk versus reward and all that, usually leads to a yellow card when he loses it.
