In a central defensive partnership alongside last year’s PFA Player’s Player of the Year, Virgil Van Dijk, Cameroonian defender Joel Matip has played a pivotal role in establishing the club’s eight-point lead at the summit of the Premier League table.

After displacing Joe Gomez from the starting XI, who had previously shot to international prominence with seven senior England caps to his name, Matip is playing a crucial role in Liverpool’s success so far.

Some of the club’s fans are, to say the least, highly appreciative of his battling contribution at the heart of his side’s defence after the 28-year-old was named the PFA Player of the Month for September.

One Reds fan has even compared Matip to Manchester United’s Harry Maguire, and some of the club’s fanbase have given an unsurprising verdict on which centre-back is performing better in 2019/20…

The centre-back has also been attracted praise after Goal asked their readers to name a dream back-four, and given the Liverpool defender’s impressive recent performances, it’s far from surprising to see some fans of the Reds making their case for the inclusion of Klopp’s back-four.
