Moreno is captain tonight.

I reckon Firmino will be captain tonight.

Where's Gomez??

Where's Gomez??

Injured.....most of our defenders seem crocked

Since when ****s sake?? What's wrong with him?

[RedReet]

What bothers me is that if VVD picks up a niggle at any stage, gets the flu or whatever, then we are in a position where we don't really have any other CB that you could say will be able to be relied upon to stay fit and/or maintain a level of consistency comparable to that of VVD.


CB seems to be a position in which we have quantity but not enough reliable quality

It is a worry, but as I discussed in another thread, I can understand why Klopp is willing to take the risk.

It's Moreno.

Precautionary apparently. But then Klavan was only to be out for a few days too.

Because of Phillips??

[RedReet]

Because of Phillips??

Lovren, Matip, Klavan, Gomez and Phillips.

Like at LB, like at CB (last summer), like with GK, Jurgen won't panic and will show faith in the players he has.

I've only seen the Dortmund game in pre-season. 100% failure record

What Matip?

I agree he should have faith in their qualities, but not so much in their ability to stay fit. You called it a risk yourself, you can 'see why he'd take it', I however can't understand at all why someone would take a risk with defensive options when they're aiming for the top. What is the prediction of potential success based on? Can't be past experience, considering how many injuries we've had in that area, which resulted in constantly disrupted defensive partnerships and consequently some abhorrent defensive displays by everyone bar VVD. So what else is there, a hunch, are they such good friends?

I think if we had more money to spend Klopp would immediately bring someone new in can't blame the club for not paying this time though, we really have spent a lot this year. Let's just hope for a miracle.
