Welcome to LFC Ibrahima Konate

[Saveloy]

It was a bit of a risk buying him. Lots of potential but a questionable injury record. And could he maintain a level of performance in the 'EPL'?



Turns out he's really ****ing good. And he's only about 12

[Shaggy]

Just an absolutely perfect fit for us. Just think how good he's gonna be in 4-5 years.

[SB]

There’s no guarantees in football ( ask Joe Gomez for example) so let’s enjoy him now.

Its been a perfect fit with him and Joel rotating

What is amazing is how much better he has looked for us than he did for Dortmund.

Yes he has better players around him, but he is playing in a team with higher expectations against better teams a lot of the time and he looks at our level all the time rather than Dortmund's.

[RedReet]

So who starts the final alongside Virg?

RB Leipzig?

I think it will be Matip.

I think it will be Matip.

Agreed. Konate has been amazing, but if Matip is fit he just shades it. Besides, there will be plenty more opportunities for Konate to make up for it in future finals.

RB Leipzig?

Yep, was having a brain fart moment

Yep Matip more than shades it for me when fit, but give Konate another year or two of experience and he will be a beast, well more of a beast

He was something else last night 1 vs 1...looking very assured...& not yet fully up to speed with what Klopp wants from him apparently, what's he gonna be like when it all clicks for him??!!!

[wiw]

I think it would be Matip too, but it's crazy how we'll they've managed Konate. He's had the experience of a big Wembley game and a CL ssemi final without anyone batting an eyelid. Everyone would be fine with him starting a CL final I'm sure

[Pablo]

I'd start Konate in the FA Cup Final and Matip in the Champions League final. They both deserve a start (although I realise there's no room for sentiment at this level ).

We're not there yet, but I love your optimism/fatalism
