Match Day Thread Derby V Liverpool - League Cup

Milner will play LB or very little else..
Given the players we have for CM, he's unlikely to get a game there, unless we have the mother of an injury crisis in that position!

 

I like Ings and want us to keep him, especially with him fitting in with Klopp's style perfectly. However, even I'd snap your hand off at £20m!

 

Klopp maybe tempted to take that much (if someone is desperate enough to pay it) in Jan if offered!
Would go a fair bit towards paying for the likes of Dahoud who Klopp thinks could be the next Gondogan!

 

No way someone is paying that much, not even in three vastly over inflated transfer fee times.

If Klopp doesn't rate him or plan to use him though, he should be sold. I've no doubt that would be the case (should he not want him) too.

 

Jürgen Klopp's fitness update on Firmino and Sakho
http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/236479-jurgen-klopp-s-fitness-update-on-firmino-and-sakho

 

I know..
But we've apparently turned down such a bid in last transfer Window, not sure how much of that is true..
But, if we did turn that bid down, can only assume Klopp likes the lad and wants to work with him..
But, given our current "riches" in the forward positions, he's unlikely to get game time..
Scenario I see happening is he'll be sent out on loan, get match fit, show Klopp what he can do, bag a few goals and hopefully comeback next season full of confidence.. ideally!

 

Depends on Klopp i guess. If we don't want him then we're obviously looking for a high return. We could loan him out but only if he plays 80%+ of games.

 

One thing is for certain, under Klopp we'll get top dollar for whoever we sell...
No shopping at LFC with Primark prices anymore, thank God!

 

No need to thank me, mate. It's all Klopp's doing

 

This^

 

Other than alberto or balotelli etc. If someone is a flop they are a flop.

Thus far..... summer 2016 has been ok to us.

Klavan is what he was always going to be. Manniger is just in case...

Wijnaldum, mane, Matip have all gone in the team... and improved it probably.

Karius we all hope will do the same

So... less flops = less major losses

Ilori will be off next. Then id not be shocked by a couple others that didnt go in january still.

In fairness if you buy and the manager actually wants to play them it does help doesnt it?

 

I'm not sure about that Gonz............certainly hope that's not the case.
I think Klopp's trying to improve his attitude and is quite happy for Sakho to sit it out for the time being. Sakho thinks he's fit enough to re-commence
his career but JK's making it clear that the manager's decision is the one that counts. There's only going to be one winner here, I really hope Sakho
sorts this. Klopp knows he has a quality CB but he ain't gonna take bullshit.

 

Sakho needs to suck it up (no Biscan ) and Klopp needs to show he's able to give players another chance whilst showing his authority too (I think he's already done the latter anyway).

I think it's dangerous ground if we just sell Sahko. Obviously depends what happened too though, wouldn't expect Klopp to accept him back if Sakho ****ed Jurgen's mother or something

 

Good lord, what have you heard?...............c'mon, spill the beans

 

Well, it is my mother

 

Watching the whole interview, I think Klopp's comments have been 'misquoted' and without context.

All he says is that Sakho is close to being physically fit but he's not match fit. I wouldn't be surprised if he walks straight back into the defence ..

Controversial ...

 

As long as he doesn't injure them, he can walk into who he likes

 

Stay off the wacky backy...
We've a chance to play a settled CB pairing that are developing a good understanding, Klopp will not be bringing Mama back into the side anytime soon

 

I think we need to have a new mentality about the squad personally.

All this 'but will he be happy on the bench' 'limited game time' etc.

I don't care at all really, we have started the season and the window is shut so the players have to get on with it, if you look around then the top teams have quality players on the bench, Chelsea with Fabregas & Pedro on the bench Friday for example.

Not getting enough games? Improve!
