So many people are so dissapointed we didn't sign the CB we all knew we need, and I agree to a point.
What I would say is that I am happy we didn't just splash the cash on any CB for the sake of it when we couldn't get our No.1 target. Yes, we can all say there must have been other CBs that might have been suitable, but Klopp obviously feels he is at the point where he is fine tuning the squad and doesn't want just any CB.
Rushing in for someone ends up in overpaying for a player that doesn't fit the bill, Andy Carroll for example.
It might be that we will come back for VVD in January, or scout someone else that may be suitable by then.

Scout someone else preferably.

Yep, I've pretty much said the same below Andy. VVD would have been great but it wasn't to be so I'm glad we didn't just go crazy and sign a basket case.

You won't be saying that at the end of the season when we've shipped another shed load of goals from set pieces and attackers with pace easily getting goal side of Lovren.

Yeah I can see our attacking players getting really p****d off with scoring and having our defence make shambolic errors to get teams back into the game.

Agree there must be other options for CB maybe we have been looking with vvd tinted glasses 😎.

Nicky, we were the 6th best defence in the PL last season and have kept 7 clean sheets in the last 9 games so our defence is indeed holding up. Can we improve? Yes BUT I'd rather we not panic buy a CB if we did not get the guy we wanted. Keep working with the defence we have and cut out the individual errors at set pieces and that should be fine. But I know many will still moan regardless so they can have at it.
