Why not? No dif to brendan was with his ****e buys. Hope not, but managers always give their own buys more time than others.
Probably. Klopps a believer in giving people a chance and building confidence. Really can't see Klopp dropping Karius at all, even if that's what we want.
No chance Klopp will drop Karius. May as well just sell him in January if he does that since it will destroy any smidge of confidence the lad has left
Tobes, I'm a Matip maniac so I'll admit my bias, but I thought he played well apart from that one, unarguable balls up.
I didnt think it was that bad the free kick karius let in. The 2nd one was just rank awful all round. Matips laughable defending and karius rank attempt to make himself big. Soft finish and ball ends up closer to near post than far post. Just poor poor positioning. As for you guys not being title challengers i wouldnt rule you guys out yet if klopp can sort out the defence. Your goalkeeper is rank and needs to be dropped though and man for man i dont think your defence is too shabby. Clyne and matip and even milner are solid. Klaven looks good too. I wouldnt say we have world beaters in defence ourselves but conte has a system that is making them all look good. Luiz is great and poor, dave is brilliant. Cahill our version of lovren. Alonso cant really defend that well and moses is okay. Who would have thought chelsea would be challengers pre season and after the arsenal whipping? (Except me). Arsenal always have that question mark about their mentality, city look terrible defensively and united and spurs both behind you
I actually want to cry at the fact that Sakho acted like a bellend because he and Matip could have been such a good partnership.
Karius might benefit from being taken out of the firing line for a bit. Remember De Gea getting dropped by Fergie when he first went to Utd, he turned out not to be a bad keeper once he settled in
You find out more about a team during the rough times. We're currently having ours and it remains to be seen how we cope. Chelsea haven't rocked, yet.
Chelsea rocked early season, they have now discovered a system with 3 at the back and it is working for them.
Hendo needs to be braver - he has all the tools except mentality. Too many times he wants to play it sideways. Matip and even Klavan were able to pass through lines.
The thing is, this isn't a rough patch for you, as you're playing well in the main, and still scoring goals. What's let you down in the last couple of games is individual errors and some slapstick defending
I know what you mean, and we are still playing well, but I still think it is a rough purely based on injuries. Not loads but they are key ones. Matip and Lallana are both key players that have missed recent games. None of Coutinho, Firmino or Mane are world beaters but as a trio they are phenomenal because they compliment each other so well. Take one of them away and it's not merely as effective. No idea why Klopp pushes Firmino out wide either, he's ****e out there. We'll get a proper **** patch now though; Mane is going to be suspended and then ****off to the ACON!
Yeah but the intensity dropped after 15 mins and we gave them every encouragememt. we played better for longer v bbournemouth Sadly 5th is our lot now. as sky told us.
Over the next few weeks imo Mane at ACON Studge injured (shock!) Coutinho injured Firmino pushed out wide
