Joel Matip wins Player of the Month
Joel Matip has been named the PFA Player of the Month for September after his performances helped the Reds start the season undefeated.
Since the end of the month, Liverpool have made it eight games without defeat this season and are closing in on the Premier League 18-game consecutive win streak set by Manchester City in the 2017/18 campaign.
Matip might not be as fashionable as Aymeric Laporte or Virgil van Dijk but the Cameroonian is playing better than he has ever before and is a large part of why the Anfield outfit is excelling at the moment.
The best tweets from Liverpool fans celebrating Matip being named the PFA Player of the Month:
It’s difficult to think of a player I’ve completely changed my opinion on more than Joel Matip.
He’s gone from being our 4th choice CB to the Premier League Player of the Month and within the top 3 CBs in the league.
He’s earned my respect and is an absolute hero. pic.twitter.com/bXHwcJ7N1K

The former Schalke man will now be able to enjoy a slight respite as he will be part of the non-international Liverpool contingent that will be allowed a slight respite as the training during the international break isn’t as intense as when the full squad is available to Jurgen Klopp.
Matip is also returning from a minor injury that saw him miss the wins over RB Salzburg and Leicester City over the last week but he should be in contention to face Manchester United.
The Merseysiders travel to Old Trafford in two weeks’ time and if Matip is unavailable to play, Dejan Lovren showed against the Foxes that he is a capable deputy.
