Five clearances against former club
Diop recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win against Fulham.
Analysis: Diop faced his former club Fulham and posted five clearances and one block, adding a shot and a season high 65 accurate passes to help Ipswich to the win. The centre back has been ever present since his summer move, starting all six league games and playing every minute, and his clearances have been the core of his output with 27 so far. He has also chipped in with 11 interceptions and nine blocks, though with only four tackles and little to offer going forward, much of his value is likely to come from the volume of defensive work in his own box.
Busy in 1-0 loss
Diop generated one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Everton.
Analysis: Diop had a busy performance as Ipswich lost 1-0 to Everton. He had one shot in the game, but also had 10 defensive contributions in the game. The defender won all three of his aerial duels and made five clearances, three blocks and two interceptions.
