He has done very well. Massively impressed by him. It almost seems like he needs an extended run of games (10+) to get into a good patch of form every time.

Thought I'd give a mention. His form over the last 3 months as been terrific. Of course anyone playing beside Virgil is going look good.But his own performances have been up there .think him having a long run and being injury free as helped enormously.Lovren looks like he's gonna be way down the pecking order now.

A free transfer as well.
He has been absolutely excellent.

Good shout Justme, hes been spot on.
Was thinking earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if Lovren leaves in the summer he's hardly played this season and as said Matip is ahead of him the pecking order now

Videos like this show you just how important top centre-backs are.

Took me a bit to find a Matip thread in here.
On current form I think he's the best centre-back in the League (Van Dijk will inevitably overtake him again very soon) and I love how under-the-radar he seems to go.
When it comes to fans of other clubs, it reminds me a bit of Arbeloa - they just totally overlook how good he is.
Not sure what we're doing to keep him fit (to the frustration of Gomez and Konate!) but I'm glad we're managing so far.
He was our best CB in our Champions League winning season, had to do more defending than Virgil as teams were always looking to exploit any space left for them by Trent - Yesterday was about par, Matip won on defending, Virigl won on passing, Watford's best chance Virgil played them on, when in an almost identical situation in the first half, Matip stepped up with immaculate timing to catch them offside.
I've always rated Matip incredibly highly, Virgil is the best CB in the league, although not at his very best levels again yet, but Matip isn't far behind him at all, Virgil has better distribution, pace and strength that will always keep him just ahead of Joel, but for me Joel's long been the second best CB in the league, he doesn't 'look good' playing next to Virigl, he is good, very frickin good in his own right
