Most of what I was gonna comment on has been covered. I knew we'd be ropey and ragged defensively just like we were at the conclusion of last season. It needs sorting out soon as. VVD is excellent as we all know but he can't carry our defence on his own all the time, he doesn't really do 'bad games' but he's going to dip below his best at times and make mistakes, and he can't do it all on his own. Gomez's ability is being inflated playing next to him all the time, he's not that great, average even a lot of the time, as was demonstrated for England, and I know that was in the England side but the point remains. And our options at back aren't exactly inspiring. It's like being back in days of recent old when we'd score a lot, concede a lot. As has already been said I'd rather we just won a routine 2-0 and less happened. I don't know why Klopp won't buy another CB who's properly ready and closer to VVD's level.
