Dejan Lovren

[Pablo]

I dont have a problem with the age of TAA or Gomez. Both have shown they are top level players.

I know 17 is young. But they will learn tons training and playing with the best defence in World football currently. Itll be almost impossible not too.

Just pointing out that Trent and Gomez (almost feels younger because of the time lost to injuries) are not exactly seasoned pros. Neither have yet played 100 professional games.

I can understand letting Lovren go from a human and financial perspective, but when he's gone we have....

Van Dijk, Matip, Gomez, Trent and Robertson.

5 senior pros for 4 starting spots.

After that it's 17 year olds in defence when you're trying to get 100 points in the league?

Wow.

Side note but it's a strange thing that starting from keeper, through defence, midfield and attack the normal age at which you breakthrough tends to get younger. A 17 year old attacker feels normal, but a 17 year old CB/keeper seems risky.

Gomez, Matip and Trent (to a lesser extent) have all been injury prone. I'm happy we are selling Lovren but I'd like to have got cover - someone like a Klavan a reliable old pro

Stevie H’s positioning was hopeless - all Heisenberg uncertainty and wave/particle duality. Glad we got rid.

Hoever really does look incredible but he's 17! Van Den Berg is also 17.

Of our five remaining "senior defenders" Trent is still only 20 and Joe Gomez is 22.

That would have to be the youngest defence in the Premier League history?

You could put Stephen Hawking next to VVD and we'd be one of the best defences in the league.

I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to stay and be 4th choice, I think that his position as 4th choice has been clear for a while. I am surprised that it wasn't sorted out sooner then we could have brought in a replacement.

Going into effectively the whole season with just 5 senior defenders seems crazy to me. No matter how good you think the kids are it's one hell of a gamble particularly when Gomez and Matip have a record of injury problems

This is the worry for me. Also in midfield Keita, Lallana, Hendo, Ox all injury prone too. So risky

[frank the tank]

It all depends on if Virgil stays fit anyway. Without him we are ****ed no matter if we have Lovren or not.

But with him we will be fine. You could put Stephen Hawking next to VVD and we'd be one of the best defences in the league.

Its on

Croatia defender Dejan Lovren, 30, missedtraining with Liverpool for Wednesday's Uefa Super Cup as the Reds have opened transfer talks with Roma. (Telegraph)

[frank the tank]

Also, I reckon klopp washed his hands of the ****wit after he injured himself v Wolves after a few minutes because he didn't warm up properly. 100k a week for that kind of ****. When we were going for the ****in league and CL. Professional my arse

[frank the tank]

Id sell him too. Good move. People think that he is fourth choice....but for all we know, klopp would prefer Fabinho back there too. And if we don't give young fellas like Whoever and that Ginger Dutch Rodney Trotter a go, then we won't be able to attract top young players.

Lovren isn't a good option for scarce football. He takes half a dozen games to find form. Not possible for a fella like that. I've not trusted him since I saw that **** show at Anfield v West Ham under Rodgers.

Kind of surprised Brendan didn't buy him to replace Maguire though

[Norbs]

Are you a victim of modern slavery Fredo?

[Slinky Skills]

We are relying on the likes of Gini,Keita,AOC to cover the front three. Milner, Henderson, Fabinho to cover the defence. A few injuries across the board and we are ****ed. Simply can't compete with City using untested youth and midfielders to plug every hole.

Before Norwich I seen Shaqiri working on one of the turnstiles.
