Morning ed002

Any truth in the gazzaniga rumour.

{Ed002's Note - It would be a knee jerk reaction and a kick in the gonads for Adrian who Klopp only gave his support to last night. It would also require the sale or loan of an additional non HG player to make space - so I don't know if it makes sense at all. My expectation remains that two non-HG players will leave today but the club is going to end up leaving itself in a rather bad place with the Champions League squad if Wilson and Kelleher are moved on.}

Cheers Ed002

I suppose we can't rule anything out after last night knee jerk reactions can happen in the wake of performances like that. Regarding klopps support for Adrian I would only expect that because he wasnt the only player to let us down last night but he has been shaky and poor in quite a few of his starts recently so maybe there is something to it.

Replacing Adrian would be anything but knee jerk, it’s absolute nonsense to suggest otherwise. The man has done nothing but cause chaos whenever he has played for us, last night was just the latest in unacceptable performances from him.
Ed002, Klopp publicly supporting Adrian is what good modern day managers do, it means very little in reality. Klopp may like Adrian as a person, but it’s very difficult to believe he rates him as a goalkeeper.

{Ed002's Note - So why have Liverpool done nothing about replacing Adrian throughout the transfer window? It makes the club look pretty stupid doesn't it. Klopp supporting him and then 12 hours later looking to replace him makes Klopp look like a complete flake as well. And obviously if he doesn't "rate" him as a goalkeeper makes him look beyond stupid in buying him and keeping him at the club.}

Jesus christ man we are not signing a goalkeeper today!

Adrian is our number 2 and that's how it is staying, it is what it is Alisson is out. the whole team bar Salah were terrible yesterday not just Adrian.

ed002 I said before the season started we should let Adrian go because I don't think his any better that the 2 young keepers we have and that would have helped the HG quota. But one has all ready gone out on loan, and I know Adrian made a mistake for the first goal but that was not all down to him and I don't think he was at fault for any of the others. And I would not have liked to have a young lad in goal with that defending from the whole team last night. But without Alisson in goal the team needs stop passing the ball back so much if we lost all are pace in are defenders we would not play a high line.

Who are the two to be moved on today Ed?
Any news on where they are going?

{Ed002's Note - Shaqiri and Grujic will go - I would think Fenerbahce (with the interest of other sides waning) and Werder Bremen (although MG wanted to go back to Hertha Berlin).

Adrian was free he had no club! Hearing Grujic is off too Herta Berlin! Should be keita going he’s had more chances then anyone.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool paid him a generous signing on fee and pay his wages every week. I have explained where Grujic will be going - he wanted HB but the actions of Liverpool meant it was not possible and now they are going to have to loan him out.}

cant believe all this talk of adrian, he's just a back up. i've always said, its bloody gomez and he's a 1st teamer. We won a hell of a lot of games to create the lead whilst matip was in last year, gomez isa ball watcher, get caught out of position constantly and relies on last ditch tackles with his pace. this was the year to push on and we've done a man city.

Ed002 - haven't you heard the theory behind "Klopp's Uncertainty Principle" where you are both part of Klopps plans and actively for sale (with replacements being sought) at the same time?

Klopp says a lot of good stuff but also says the odd bit of waffle. I remember when he stated that Danny Ward would be staying at the club and fighting for no1 GK spot only to be sold the next week!

Red Sandman.

{Ed002's Note - And he added Karius as his number one goalkeeper.}

Adrian played well in the cup game in midweek. Klopp's not going to throw him under the bus for one shockingly (and it was shocking) bad game. All the players collectively have to take responsibility and I believe they can and will. I'm more concerned about Gomez's mental state, so having Matip back will be good if he can stay fit for more than half a game. Hope England duty can help Gomez begin to repair his confidence.

That's a pity about Grujic, Ed002. By Liverpool's actions you mean pricing him out of a move? Shaqiri's a loan or sale? Thanks a lot and good luck today!

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

I love how we never bid enough for players when ‘we know the price so should just pay it’ but when we value a player higher than a buying club wants to pay we ‘are pricing him out of a move’.
If HB want Grujic it’s more than possible for them to sign him. Just pay the asking price. Our actions have nothing to do with him not going there it’s the fact that they don’t want him enough to pay the price we’ve quoted.

Adrian was very very poor yesterday. And I am not only referring to his mad pass to the opposition. His positioning was pure madness. He really puts his entire back four on edge. Not replacing him could end up nullifying all the good that has been done with the acquisition of Tsimikas, Thiago and Jota. I hope that he is able to raise his game over the next 6 weeks.

It’s football poker today, about holding your nerve but could still get busted on the river.

I don't think it would be embarrassing and seen as knee jerk if the club had suddenly shown desire to strenghten our back up keeper on the back of villa game.

I think it's more to do with the news that alisson is suddenly out for a minimum of 6 weeks and it's likely that we play a large number of crucial fixtures up until December with a GK that needs to be trusted. If allison was due to return in a week or 2 and we expected him to play for the rest of the campaign that's fair enough but the Adrian issue is not just knee jerk on the back of villa game, it's also on the news that we need a GK to play a large number of games coming up.
