Busy defensively

Diop generated two tackles (two won), eight clearances and one interception in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Analysis: Diop was busy throughout Friday's match, he had everything to do defensively to try and slow down this Liverpool attack. He was unable to really do so, but he did pile on some impressive defensive volume. The defender has the talent to be a solid piece of this backline, but he will be limited outside of that volume as Ipswich try to stay competitive.
