Didn't see the game - but were we better defensively that Moreno was replaced?

Our midfield is shambolic with Can, and even then, he needs support.

LB made no difference at all, Clyne and the CBs contrived to give two goals away.
Yes, your midfield is shambolic with Can but it wasn't much better without him, new midfield and defence required asap <ok>
 
Really poor game from Klavan and Lovren yesterday unfortunately. Too easily beaten for both goals yesterday, both shots should have been blocked. Hope we get a good look at Matip in the week. Where's Sakho? Still our best defender in my opinion.

Sakho still out injured. Matip isn't great in my opinion but is a better option than Lovren.

Clyne isn't great defensively but he's ok and left back is up in the air.

However, this is just one issue - our midfield let's the opposition run through and offers zero protection.

part of the problem yeaterday was only Henderson even tried to offer protection to the defence in centrefield Wijnaldum was AWOL defensively.
strange tactics yesterday with the slow build up allowing Burnley to get everyone back and then just rapidly get the ball up front where Vokes and Gray had Lovren & Klaven on toast though. tbf Dyche gave JK and the team a bit of a lesson yesterday and one they better learn from quick

Our midfield is always like this. I can't believe Klopp can win the title in Germany without having defensive nous but it seems whoever plays, the same problems occur. We shuffle CBs like a card player but none of them work. Might the problem be elsewhere?!

i'll probably get slated for this so i'm going to whisper - it's all a bit reminiscent of watching us for long periods under BR :emoticon-0114-dull:
 
It's always a dilema mate. Get the punches in now before we get a pasting later or stay quiet and hope you lot are kinder when it happens <laugh>
yes i see how that could be tricky but you need to learn less is more sometimes :emoticon-0127-lipss

is your board so dead you have to come on here to feel part of a community - even if it is the mangy stray who hangs around hoping for a handout :bandit:

We're far too sensible over there. Things are ticking along now LVG and his protege UIR have disappeared. Bliss. Unless ofcourse our resident livpl fans are over but they haven't been on today for some reason <whistle>
