I'm sure this has been said, but it is hard to believe that we couldn't have bought a CB who was better than what we already had, despite missing out on our primary target.
I get not wanting to buy any old player but surely better is at least a step forward?
{Ed002's Note - It has been done to death really Slack. Klipperty made clear it was van Dijk (that obviously wasn't going to happen) or no one. Klipperty also made it clear that Sakho (who is far better than the others at the club) had no future at the club.
There is little or no point explaining to everyone the shortcomings of what most perceive to be their "world class" coach nor to suggest that a defence coach would improve matters. All it does is upset all of the vegetables again.}

Klopp doesn't use defenders. Who needs em' when you have 7 in midfield? The sooner everyone accepts this new soccer ball philosophy the better you'll feel.

I have no idea what you afre on about, 8th. Please, elaborate and BTW, stay on topic as this is football, not soccer.

totally agree there with Ed 02.
{Ed001's Note - what with his assertion Sakho is clearly better than the rest? Except he had shown he wasn't any better, he was on exactly the same level.}

Considering the constant theme of switching off, standing and watching runs and walking back the issue is beyond ability to tackle, head or pass. There is a huge mental problem across the squad's ability to defend and just signing someone who looks better in a different structure isn't the answer. It needs to be a better than not bet that they will bring far more focus and ability to hold a structure and play the Klopp way. Otherwise it is just another defender who can't defend on this team. The other thing people need to look at is the replacement would need to be exceptionally solid because they will be bombarded. Teams are targeting specific issues with the defensive structure and bringing in one CB won't stop that, so anyone who comes in can expect to be attacked and challenged in the same ways, so anyone who hasn't proved they can cope with that is still a gamble.

Completely agree, Sakho is in no way better than the others at the club.

Wondering what the supposed breakdown in trust refers to?
Why does Phil not like Klopp anymore? Were promises made and broken regarding the Barcelona move or is Phil sulking? He didn't seem the type.
1.) 13 Aug 2017 09:37:10
Maybe he thought he would be the centre of attention all the time and it's like work if you get a shouted at you so t like it remember sterling and rogers things were never the same after what we all saw on tv in the states.
2.) 13 Aug 2017 09:59:25
Just sounds like a load of excuses to try and justify why he's walking out on us.
He's got no respect or loyalty to LFC whatsoever.
I was hoping the Club wouldn't give in to him. but now it looks like he's going. good riddance I say.
No respect for him now!

Not that I care about being downvoted, but for asking a question? This is a rumors page and I am asking about a rumor, isn't that how this place works?
4.) 13 Aug 2017 10:31:27
The reason for the breakdown in trust is the fact stories from "family members"about a breakdown in their relationship JUST as he's forcing his move to Barca! And as for not the type, Torres got slaughtered for doing the same thing but in this case everyone seems to think its "nice little phil".
5.) 13 Aug 2017 10:49:49
He's a man if he can't take someone shouting at him in work, maybe he should run back to his mammy, or to his safe place wherever his feelings don't get hurt.
6.) 13 Aug 2017 10:59:38
It's called rubbish sturing press.

Re. Handing in a transfer request.
Is there some kind of automatic penalty for doing this? For example, I keeping reading about 5% of transfer fee?
Do all contracts include a "transfer request penalty clause? " If so, is it subject to change?
{Ed002's Note - No, they don't need to. All players are entitled to 5% of the transfer fee unless it is them that requests the move.}
1.) 12 Aug 2017 11:49:09
Thanks for the answer.
So part 2. I know you don't like talking about money, but assuming the transfer goes through, has Phil just forsaken over four million quid, or would the
loss likely be compensated via a signing bonus or some such incentive? Perhaps via an increase wages?
Just curious about it as it's a lot of money to be missing out on, even if you aren't exactly going to be starving!
{Ed002's Note - Clubs will often negotiate signing on bonuses but it is nothing to do with what Liverpool owe him or not.
He is happy to lose out of the money in order to leave Liverpool.}

Jordan looked liked the only one who wouldn't score. his silly little shuffle showed indecision and the shot was poor. Not a big deal but even the wife called it!

Kent impressed me, he's done well in preseason. Good composure and fantastic strike for his penalty too.

Mark Lawrenson is a miserable sod! That is all.
1.) 14 Jul 2017 20:25:18
Awful commentary from him so sarcastic.
2.) 14 Jul 2017 20:27:17
He played for us late 70s and 80s.
Now he wishes we are what we were
He's not going to by over the moon is he?
3.) 14 Jul 2017 20:39:13
He chatting some absolute ring tonight, even by his standards.
4.) 14 Jul 2017 21:13:12
Fantastic player but my God he's miserable. Big Preston N. E fan I think.

Keita? ;)
01 Aug 2017 18:19:42
Deep breaths. turn OFF the caps lock! :p.
24 Aug 2017 09:54:55
The reality is that He is a great player but by no means world class at this point. I have no problem selling him if we can replace him but the fact is we can't so tough.
17 Aug 2017 11:19:59
Barca are either lying and need reporting or we are full of she*p!
16 Aug 2017 08:18:33
Great write up, but I feel Gini has had a shocker these first two games.
