The Cameroonian is a sensational defender, but his consistent unavailability is a curse and the fact of the matter is he canβt be relied on as a starter because of it.
But with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez out for the foreseeable, Matip and Fabinho are our first-choice partnership β and without Matip, we rely on either Rhys Williams, Nat Phillips or Jordan Henderson beside the Brazilian.
For different reasons, none of these are ideal options.
Really, we need a new centre-back to arrive this January transfer window β as even if Matip makes it through the United game β heβll pick up another issue before the season is out.
Letβs see if Klopp and Michael Edwards agree.
