Absolutely love to see him making a mug of attacking players, like. Feels like he skins at least one a game, no matter the opposition. :lol:

It never feels dangerous when he does it either.

Signing of the summer by any club tbh. A CB who does all the hard stuff no bother and scores at the other end, fucking class man.

 

Always around the ball on set pieces. He's going to score a lot of goals.

 

Unbelievable signing really. Having an impact on both ends of the pitch.

I don't recall the game (maybe Forest at home) but he got on the end of a FK and volleyed it and the keeper made an incredible save, I knew then he was going to be a handful for other teams from set pieces this season. Just a nice bonus really, he's a top CB which is the main thing, and seems like he's integrated nicely into the squad too.

There was a point where mateta was on a break and shoulder to shoulder with Thiaw, I thought here we gan, but Thiaw just.... Walked it off him.  I've got no other way to explain it but he made it look like there was zero threat. 

 

He's been so good for us.

At that point I was just thinking how great it is to have a CB with a turn of pace. In the past that would have been Mateta in on goal and  the clean sheet up the swanee.

Completely and utterly bullied Mateta all game. 


I was actually a bit worried about Mateta’s physicality against Schar and Thiaw. As Schar isn’t the strongest or biggest and I thought Thiaw had looked a bit below his very high standards the last few games.
 

How wrong I was. Like you say, Thiaw dominated him.
 

Superb on the ball. Always looking for a forward or incisive pass instead of a clearance or going back to Pope. He has learned to only use him if he has to :lol:

I think he has had 2, possibly 3 off the line this season already from set pieces. Along with some decent saves against him (Sels for Forest?). 
 

He’s going to get 7 in all comps, I reckon.

Thought he was MotM today tbh, good as Miley also was. He was an absolute rock. 

 

 

Add Joelinton to that list, all three were outstanding.

If only we could get botman back to his best and Tino fight and back on form. Incredible back four in the making. 

 

Feel we might cash in on Botman and look at another prospect or maybe more likely keep Sven another year and replace schar with a quality younger player.

Been absolutely imperious for us all season tbh. Looks solid, quick, reads the game well, strong, good on the ball, picks a good ball into his CM, covers his defenders and chips in with his share of goals too. 

 

Looking like an utter snip at 35m
