No fan of Matip but he did do a good tackle when Redmond left Fabinho for dead and was running into the box right at him.
That being said when that's Hazard not Redmond next week it could well have a different outcome. We will have to defend better in midfield because at times the entire starting midfield neglected their defensive duties. Wijnaldum didn't track a runner for the goal, Keita was out of position/looking to break forward depending on your viewpoint and Fab lunged in and got skint a few times.
If Hazard is left to run at any of the back 4 unchallenged he will really hurt us. In a recent interview he said Anfield was his favourite ground to play at and one he always does well at. We will have to be better protect whoever it is who plays with VVD.
