I've come to the conclusion that klopps biggest problem is himself and his stubboness and at times his arrogance he said a few weeks ago he's a good defencsive coach weres the proof--he said befor the spurs game no matter the result were still title challengers im not one to give up but 2 wins in 10 games tells you everythink. i really do think he needs a rethink on the way he thinks the team should play because it ain't working results tell you that. you can't play through every team you play against and think your going to get 3 or 4 goals every game that's just arrogance and the goals we concede is just a joke he's had 5 Windows to sort out the keeper and defence. give WARD a run of games pick a back 4 and stick with them mine would be tta-gomez-matip- Robertson or Moreno stop all this swapping and changing also i would drop courtinho back and give solanke a chance he's a different option this is only my opinion.

I’m still pro Klopp but I have been disappointed with his lack of ruthlessness when it comes to some players who clearly aren’t good enough, loyalty is important but eventually some of these players could cost him his job. I hope that this is the turning point and he finally realizes that things need to change.

Spot on Smeg, in this game, keeping loyal to players that aren’t good enough will eventually cost you your job.

Agree but equally slagging players and chopping and changing is also a good way of losing your job. I don't envy him his position.

Hi Ed's

Dont we have any defenders in under 23 or 21 who can play for the main 11?

Atleast to fill the 11?

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - you have to pick players who can fit right in.}

Lloyd Jones would be the only one with half a chance but would be a big gamble that.

Is masterson the best cb in u23?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Oct 2017 23:02:59
Would love to see Masterson given a shot, unless that means fans jumping on his back after a mistake and ruining his confidenece!

Hallo Eds
Quick question, is there going to be real effort made NOW to look for players in January? I know its a bad month to do business sometimes.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - the club never stops looking for players to buy in the next window or two. The problem is that they never seem to find them!}

23 Oct 2017 14:47:22
I can't see much business been done in Jan, so I'm personally looking to the summer. Should we get another player or two in Jan then that's a boost but I'm not getting my hopes up for them to come crashing down Jan 31st when we've signed nobody.

Agree2 Disagree0

We can't not sign players in Jan if we don't then for me Klopp is finished.

Agree7 Disagree1

Its only worth signing players if they are going to improve us. Its easy to say the current ones aren't good enough but no point is flushing money down the toilet simply to announce a transfer. Point is we have to find player (s) who are better than our current ones who are also available and wish to come to us - which is why Jan is always tricky.
Personally Id like to see money spent on overhauling the scouting department.

So does anyone actually know why Klopp persists with Migs? Are Ward and Karius so bad in training or what is the reason?

This is a 100% genuine question, Ed01 have you heard anything mate?

Believable4 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - I honestly do not know the answer to this, it surprises me as everything that I have heard says that he wants to sell him. Ward and Karius were meant to be fighting it out for the no 1 spot. I know both of them are unhappy and have spoken to Klopp about that, but there is nothing else that is stopping them getting the jersey. Both have impressed in training from what I have been told. This is one thing I just do not understand. It is confusing to say the least. Klopp surely can't think the fans will just jump on either's back after 2 games like they did last season and call for Mignolet's return now can he? Mind the knee jerk reactionary tools who did that last season have such short memories, they will no doubt be dragging out nonsense like 'Migs is a good shotstopper' the minute either keeper doesn't make an impossible save!}

23 Oct 2017 08:47:52
He has too give ward a proper chance mignolet has proved he is a flapper and not up too it, we already have let our best defender leave in sakho, for all we know ward could b a quality keeper for us we don't want him leaving as well.

Agree10 Disagree2

23 Oct 2017 10:20:54
The problem is Mignolet is so bad in every aspect of goalkeeping so i don't see what he can possibly see in him.
Klopp persisted with a very average GK in Dortmund for many years as well in Weindefeller who i though was not a good Goalkeeper, its worrying and if Karius or Ward doesn't start vs Huddersfield then i think Klopp has lost the plot. Mignolet should have been dropped for ever after the horrible game he had vs Leicester despite us winning after he saved a penalty he himself gave away with ridiculous goalkeeping. Starting Mignolet or Lovren anytime soon will just tell the rest of the squad it doesn't matter what they do because the favorites will always be picked.

Agree21 Disagree1

Your not telling me Ward wouldn't be up for it against Huddersfield, perfect game for him to start, he should be given the chance now until the end of the season then it can be decided who is to go, Gomez looked like the senior cb yesterday too and Matip looked lost as usual, he should stay there too, it was good to finally see Klopp coming out and saying things against his defenders, lacking a leader and organisation, January will be a big month.

Agree14 Disagree1

24 Oct 2017 13:26:34
Like I said before (just my opinion), I think the problem stems from within the club. How can two totally different managers (BR) make the exact same mistakes? Does that not strike anyone as odd?

Agree3 Disagree0

Migs has had his chance.
Give karius a run of games not 1 here and there. If after 6 games or so there is no improvement throw ward in there for a spell. Simple.
