Matip the right man to fill the Defensive leader role - by Jason Harris

Haha you're persistent I'll give you that.

I refuse to believe that someone can watch the video I posted and think.. “what a donkey!”.

He's a not a donkey nor a thorough bred. A mule ?

[INTORRESTING]

can he reproduce his form?

Indeed. But the dog pun wouldn't work.

[Numero Veinticinco]

I thought he was fine.

Fair enough. I, and most people in the match thread, and his own fans, and neutral observers thought he was shit.

Cool.

Then ultimate fucking yard dog 

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Cool.

Maybe you just did the thing you did the other week when you were mixing up Lovren, the medium height, white man with the mixed race, lanky, tall Matip?

 

You sure you weren't watching somebody else?

 

I jest. Objectively he was pretty poor, even by his own standards, in that match. One thing I think we can surely agree on, though; he's not coming to Liverpool. If we can agree on that, we can probably agree that we don't need to talk too much about him.

Happy to let the dig slide. Leicester Mercury gave him a six, and Whoscored rated him higher than any of their defenders. I think bar that one (albeit costly) mistake he was fine. He’s a very good defender who should improve still. I want to see us going for him at some stage.

I think you're going to be out of luck. He's the wrong type of defender for us and will be as exposed as Lovren or Klavan.

Why? He’s very good on the ball, very good in the air, he looks strong too. He lacks pace... but as Hyypia showed, you can be a very good defender with little pace. He’s a better defender than both Klavan and Lovren, I also think he’s better than Matip, which you obviously disagree. Matip is probably the more talented player, but in the premier league he’s lacking the necessary aggression IMO.

[VladimirIlyich]

That McGuire lad looks the pretty average typical British/Irish centre half and is nowhere near the quality we need to aspire to. Can we stop buying homegrown shite please. Haven't we learned our lesson yet?

 

By homegrown I mean UK and Ireland,not necessarily through the club,although that Academy system has been a resounding failure.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Why?

He doesn't have the pace or the positional ability required to operate in Clop's system. Hyypia would have been absolutely fucking obliterated if he was playing right now. Klopp isn't interested. He wants somebody like Van Dijk.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Haven't seen much of Maguire, but he was poor against us. Part of one of the weakest defences in the league last season, and looking to repeat that now with Leicester. Starting to think he'd fit in nicely here.

Why don't you post a video of any other match this year - you know one where he did not have the game of his life against a team that has scored 5 goals in 7 games - or even a team that has actually been in the Prem for more than 8 weeks.

 

Anything other than this tiny tin drum that you are constantly beating while bleating. This teeny tiny tinny drum.

I’ve never seen Diego Costa bullied like he was against Maguire

Is this from this year? He looks like he is wearing a Hull jersey in this match.

Confirmed. He was also good against United if I recall correctly.

[TheHowieLama]

Wait - this is the game where Costa scored and they lost 2-0?

 

Let me see if I can find the video where Everton trounced them 4-0 last year.

 

Actually the 6-1 loss to Bournemouth - looking for it now.

We smashed Southampton 6-1 and Van Dijk is probably the best centre half in the league.... etc

[TheHowieLama]

Yeah but we are Liverpool - we are talking about Everton and Bournemouth here.

We need to inform the RSPCA about aRdja flogging dead horses.

[TheHowieLama]

While you are at it tell them about Anubis punching sheep in the face.

Note that it was you who brought up Maguire in this thread, not me.
