Hey lads I'm just wondering if there is any signs that Matip or any other cb might be a vocal leader in our defence like a Jamie C or a John Terry. An organiser who makes sure everyone is where they should be during matches. I think we are missing this in our players and we need someone who the other players have a fear of if they don't do their job right. A fear of a bollocking goes a long way sometimes and gets everyone to lift their game.

I would hope Sakho and Lovren are both leaders.

Lovren was signed for that reason, and Sakho captained PSG as a teenager.

in the absence of any vocal defenders then the keeper should certainly step up.

Karius seems to have the right attitude to help be a voice at the back.

I guess Lovren is in the time of his career where he should be looking to establish himself as a prominent CB. He should be organizing as it stands.

I've not seen sakho or lovren take on this role as yet. Maybe karius might be a more vocal keeper but I still think one of the cb should take on this role. is believe one of the defenders should be strong enough within the group to be vocal and make the others aware of what's going on around them. Moreno for one would benefit from a leader beside him who's not afraid to dish out a bollocking when it's needed to try help his positioning. Far too often we have been caught out with players in wrong positions or making wrong decisions at key parts of a match. It just seems these type of personalitys are a dying breed at the top level.

They're a dying breed because players of today don't wanna take responsibility for anything but want the credit for everything. We need defenders who not only talk the talk but walk the walk, they can be leaders by example. Sahko,
Lovre and Matip are experienced defenders who need to step up, be accountable and hold others accountable as well. Klopp must take the lead here, IMO.
