Klopp is using Milner to solve a (hopefully) short term left back problem. But I wonder if in the back of Klopps mind does he also want to see if Milner can adapt to being a full back. He likes and trusts Milner but the way his midfield is evolving Milner might not get game time in midfield. However if he can play full back it wouldn't surprise me if Klopp hopes he could be a future right back.
Milner looks like a full back, we'll see if he can play there I guess.

Klopp is probably thinking Joe Gomez as the first choice left back during the course of this season.

He's using millner and moreno as back up and doesn't want to bring in anyone that would affect joe gomezs growth.

Has to be that.

I think Milner could have been/ could be a great fullback. Has many of the attributes you want in defense and attack from a full back. Not the ideal solution, maybe, but not ridiculous.

From what Square Tomato has said though, Joe Gomez is regarded as a centre back and was told he would be 4th choice this year, albeit that was before Klavan signed.

Gomez will not be a LB as that has already been explained. If he was seen as a LB, why did we try signing a true LB in Chilwell? That makes no sense. Gomez will struggle as a LB as he doesn`t have the tools to play there long term. The tools he has are for the CB position and that is where he should play and not be shoe-horned into a position where we all know he will struggle and eventually fail, longterm.

Whilst I agree Gomez was bought as a CB and should play there, he did a good job at LB considering his age and experience. In that respect he could still develop into a LB. Players can switch positions it's not set in stone, he has the physical tools it's only his attacking prowess that is debatable for me. I'd rather him play and get game time than Moreno or Milner but that's just me :-)

We just need to identify the right left back and buy him. If he's not available now then happy to wait. All the clubs will be upping their prices to us as they know we need one. There are stop gaps available until then.

While we're at it why don't we throw Milner in goal too? Some of the tripe I read hahaha thanks.
