Nathaniel Clyne

[Shaggy]

He hasn't done his ACL at all, he's been busted with a kilo of beak in his hotel room

Shame.

One of those "new players". Tough break for him.

[Gray]

I knew he had nothing to offer and I’m proved right.

[Charly]

So no genuine back-ups for either full-back?

its a worry... Gomez gets injured while playing right back... Milner can cover left. not ideal

[Liverpool]

I think most of our midfielders could cover tbh, but a few injuries and we are knackered.

Definitely 1 or 2 bodies light overall. I'd be happy enough with a proper full back coming in so Gomez stays central.

Gomez and Hoever for RB. Clyne was on his way out anyway so we're only worse off financially.

[baitman]

Hoever will step up as full back cover.

[greenturnip]

The problem is that Gomez might be our best centre back partner for Virge - he is not a modern full back. Hoever is untested. Imagine we’re off to the Etihad and Matip is injured...

I always knew you knew.

I think we've both won

Weird flex dude

If Matip is injured then hopefully we have a defence of Robbo, Virgil, Gomez and Trent. With Lovren on the bench and either Milner on the pitch or on the bench. And Fabinho in midfield. Loads of solutions

Then we line up with the same defence that Klopp choose against City last year, despite having Trent and Matip available (Gomez Lovren VVD Robbo). Clyne still wouldn't be getting a look in if available.

Supporters may not like it, but Klopp likes Gomez as an option at RB and in certain games he will choose him for extra stability or extra height at the back.

Hoever is untested, but so too was Trent in 16/17 when we didn't sign anyone to replace Johnson from the year before or the injured Gomez. Like Trent, Hoever looks more than capable of making the step up.
