Ed001 I've looked at our defence and desperately tried to think up a formation that can exclude Matip, Lovren and Klavan who are all painstakingly slow, as well as shocking in terms of concentration. Even pride and passion seems minimal.

Could a back 5 of Moreno, Robertson, Gomez, Flanagan, Arnold work? 😂

Moreno and Arnold as Marauding wing backs, Gomez leading the defensive line in a back 3, with Robbo and Flanno either side as they are comfortable being pulled out wide, both around 5ft11 so quite tall for full backs, and will inject a bit of Scottish and Scouse fire into the defence!

Sure, it's an u20 centre back with 4 full backs on paper, but Chile won the Copa America with midfielders at centre back 😂 at least they all put in the effort and are all decent on the ball!

{Ed001's Note - the very thought of that line up scares me more than Lovren about to clear the ball! TAA, Moreno and Robertson all struggle defensively.}

That is BS Harry. Where are Adam Morgan, Connor Coady, Jordan Rossiter and Jay Spearing then? If being scouse keeps you at Liverpool they should be here, right?

Flanagan is an okay player still. He'll only ever be a utility squad player unless he moves on, but my squad would always have place for someone like Flanagan. If for nothing else, just his attitude and passion which can rub off on others.

Before his injury he was being called the Scouse Cafu, and was seen along with John Stones as the future of Englands defence. So I'm not having it that he has no ability. Injuries have held him back.

Anyway, if you couldn't see this post was a light hearted joke then more fool you.

Relax MK, I was just asking you politely mate. You can have an opinion on a player is completely your call, they way you see things or rather they way you want to see the things. Like you I can also have an opinion on players. Chill! I see nothing in him doesn't make mine a valid one! You see plenty in him doesn't make yours a valid one. There is no right or wrong! It's all opinions!

This is just my take on it. Our defense make silly errors but I wouldn't put all the blame on just them. The midfield in front of them has to share the blame opposition runs through them like a hot knife through butter. I have tried to watch Hendo as I am trying to find a reasin to like him in that position. He seems to run all over but to close the attackers down. Its like he shys away from going in to tackle. He only try to block them off if no one else is around. And when he do he so rash. I specifically tried to watch his defensive abilities and I am afraid that any player worth his salt runs circles around him. We really need a robust defensive midfielder. It would make our defence less vulnerable. Just my opinion.

For me our best defence could be this:
Karius
Trent matip Gomez Robertson
Question marks over all 5 but migs has had his chance, as has lovren, I just don't get all the fan fare with Moreno recently, he is not the answer.

Flanno at CB? 3 attacking minded full backs in a back 3?
Oh dear! Someone loves seeing us get spanked big time.

Except Harry, your opinions on English, British and Scouse players are constantly bordering on Xenophobia.

Why do you think I have problem with British players? You do realize I am fan of Daniel Sturridge and Robbie Fowler mate. And who could hate Gerrard 🙄🙄🙄.

What if we play no defence or keeper, put 5 in midfield, 5 up front and a guy following the referee around with a spare pair of glasses in case he needs to make marginal decisions?
I'm all for that, we'd never need to blame Lovren, Matip, Mignolet, Moreno, Klavan or Karius ever again.
Southampton can go pi$$ off as well if they think we'll come back in for Van Dijk too as we won't need any CBs.
Instead, we could buy/ rent (FSG would prefer the latter because they're tight apparently) a private jet, stick those defenders/ GKs named above on it and fly it the fook out of Liverpool.
Everyone happy with that?
