**** off, Mignolet, yer ****in' moron! As for Lovren, that was a bad tackle and that WBA bastard should have gone off for that! Could have permanently ended Lovren's career, that! I am seriously displeased! Hello
hello wishi lol. we have not been the same at the back since we lost reina, and the last time we had a solid cb pairing i think was carra and hypiia. lovren skrtel and kolo are a joke, and migs is nearly as bad. can punishment still be taken against player(not that that is ever any consolation to the team that was on the end of it)? i dont think it can but was a disgusting challenge that has gone unpunished at least we got a point what a shambles.
Mignolet's the problem - the defence doesn't have confience in him. This might sound stupid, but I don't believe our back 4 is any worse that Utd's first choice defence. The difference is De Gea, not just because he's a better keeper, but because the relationship between him and the defence is generally top notch, and its helped to mould seemingly average defenders like Smalling into good ones
Id say the opposite. Skrtel is the problem and mignolet doesn't have confidence in him (and Lovren) defending properly so ends up taking more risks.
The whole unit is messed up. Klopp has actually done a decent job to stop the flow of goals by putting in shape and structure. However, one thing he can't do is teach/coach experienced defenders to cut out individual mistakes. Mignolet, Skrtel and Lovren just aren't good enough for this club. Maybe they have a place on the bench but they certainly should not be starting. Unfortunately, we have few options so Klopp is making do for now. We have seen some Improvment.
I think we play a centre mid too much in most games and should remove one of our 3 central midfielders and put an attacking midfielder on in their place. I also think Origi deserves a run up front instead of Benteke & Allen should be playing in place of Milner who has been pretty poor overall for us.
I'd rather we got a scrap of width at times and passed it faster and stop taking so long to do anything. That's the real issue.
Again I think there's a problem of them not getting into the box regularly. I know Henderson did today but he doesn't do it regularly and Can/Lucas won't do it either. Means our striker is always going to be outnumbered when a cross comes into the box because our wingers rarely get in there either.
I mean subbing someone like Firmino in for one of them so you have a 4-2-3-1 rather than a 4-3-3 which would mean 1 extra pure attacker.
You're no better defensively than you were prior to his arrival imo. You're still conceding sloppy goals from both set plays and open play.
Klopp has come in and had a look at what he's got. He's done very well, apart from the last couple of games. At this stage players are still very much bring auditioned by Klopp, he'll sort it out and get what he needs in, We're left with a load of Bodgers players - 2 windows with Klopp and our team will be full throttle.
Nope - we're conceding less since Klopp's arrival, and certainly less from open play. We're not being cut open with such ease thanks to an improvement in structure and team shape. Individual errors are still letting us down thanks to **** players. You can't coach a 30 year old Skrtel on how to defend.
Exactly - I'm happy to write this season off just as long as we see improvement in style and structure which we have done.
You've conceded 5 in your last 3 league games, against the might of West Brom and Newcastle To state as a fact that he's improved you defensively at this point is delusional, sorry.
And how many have we conceded since he took over? I believe it's still less than a goal a game which is better than Rodgers over his entire 3 year reign. So yes we have improved. It's not perfect or good enough but still a big improvement from the **** show we were used to under Rodgers. I accept your apology for being wrong.
