Matip is very underrated but I think he’s very good. I forgot about Thiago Silva. He’s very good but he’s at the end of his career. I still think Varane is a better defender than Gabriel. You can see how much of an impact his absence makes on Utd’s defense.Rudiger and Christensen are back three merchants. I remember a lot of Chelsea fans hating on those two before Tuchel came along. Top 5 CBs for me:
1. VvD
2. Thiago Silva
3. Dias
4. Matip
5. Gabriel
Gabriel will get better in the future though and that’s the part that is exciting. Imagine if all three CB’s ( Gabriel, Saliba and White) fulfill their potential?
Oh and Mavropanos is going to be a very good defender. The club is going to regret that loan/transfer in the future.
