[PL] BORO v LFC Buildup Thread Weds, 19:45 GMT

[Bender]

Bad decision by Klopp imo and dare I say it, bad management.

It will shatter his confidence I reckon.

Would rather put Milner in goal than Mignolet.

Are you playing Chinese Football Manager again Slinky?

Thing is with Karius, is that he hasn't caught one single ball from a corner since he's been in the side.

Mignolet makes mistakes but he's more decisive on corners and crosses. His problem is his decision making. He has shown better shot stopping ability than Karius.

It does seem strange to publicly go to war to defend the lad and then drop him. Hopefully this is a sign that klopp isn't as stubborn as I feared. The lad is shot and so he's been bombed. Awesome.

If it does shatter his confidence then he hasn't got the right mentality for us, plus it sends a message to Migs that if he keeps his head down and works hard then his shot will come if the other guy is sub standard.

I'm shocked tbh, I really didn't see it coming.

His confidence is shot totally, perhaps he has done the right thing only Klopp will know. I personally don't feel he has and that he should have persisted and given him more time.

It not only impacts him but the defence in front, might not be such a wise move but only time will tell.

Ha ha genuine now, he'd do a better job!

[meffin]

No Matip

[McDermotX]

No Matip (injury reoccurrence ?)

Klopp explaining keeper situation now on Sky. No big deal apparently

[Bender]

Mignolet, Clyne, Klavan, Lovren, Milner, Henderson, Lallana, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Origi

LFC subs : Karius, Moreno, Lucas, Stewart, Alexander, Ejaria, Woodburn

Joel Matip has travelled with the #LFC squad, but does not feature due to a ankle/foot complaint

[G]

Matip a massive miss

[Fredo]

We can't rely on people all the time. Lovren and Klavan need to step up. If we want to win the league this year then we need to win this.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

No Matip? We rely on him so much already.

The triangle of Mignolet, Klavan and Lovren is terrifying.

Having said that I think Mignolet has the right mindset to come in and prove a point, he's experienced and has been in good form when he's played this season.

[redmike65]

A uni-angle of Mignolet is scary enough!

[PTP]

I know it's bad luck and we have a few out but my god we are one or two knocks away from struggling to field a "first team"...we literally have what you would call first team squad, 14 senior players available....going into the Xmas period

[redmike65]

Hopefully Can, Matip and Grujic will be back by the weekend plus Gomez and Ojo as options.

Fcking hell where's Matip

He's backing his player. It's brilliant to see. Hodgson and Rodgers didn't do it all the time, and I think it's something that always needs to be done.

Players are what's important, not some ex pros opinion.
