Howdy Eds and all.
I'm actually quite disappointed that we didn't bring in any CBs or CDMs this window.
Surely Klopp and Co. had a few names in mind for the CB role other than he who must not be named?
All joking aside, having a single target in Van Dijk without any backup options is bewildering. Everyone knows our defence is a shambles. Klopp must see that too. So why just target the one player?
As for the CDM role, it's vital for how we play, and a good player sitting there provides - as everyone knows -protection for the CBs. I know we're well overloaded in the midfield, . but none of them can actually play in the CDM role. They "play" there but are not in the least comfortable and more often then not forget what it is their supposed to be doing in favor of bombing forward.
This window, to me, has been baffling. Stacking up on players in the attack while seemingly ignoring the sinking ship that is our defence.
I don't think we even brought in a defence coach.
My tuppence anywho.

Defence really isn't that bad. sure it's not great, but it's not bad either.6 clean sheets in the last 7 pl games. What we failed in last season was when mane was out, phil coming back from injury. but we have depth now in Ox and Salah.

RedRum for the upteenth time, Klopp does not play with a true CDM at least, not anymore so why should Klopp get a player he does not need.? Also, He likes to play with a pivot at the base of a three man midfield where all three attack, press and defend which is why he wanted Naby Keita to upgrade the dynamism there in CM. We have Can and Hendo who can play the #6 position so don't get your point, R.
