Klopp's XI Karius flop so no gk Kid at RB - no harm that Matip VVD Robertson Can if he signs up. needs a no 6 Keita Ox Mane Firmino (keeper) Salah so.... in the end klopps only 2 players from a final "his 11" He's stuck in Karius and said right show me now. the guy promptly lets one in at near post. It could be the case klopp wants to know but 29th jan to buy a keeper now or wants to see over next 4 months. It looks to me he's decided he's sick of mingolet and is assessing what needs to be done and when. Same for no 6. we just don't know what is going on. Can's not exactly been no 1 pick all year has he? Klopps brought one kid though at RB, kept one player at striker and bought the rest assuming he gets those 2 players He's pushed the bench along with lovren, wijnaldum, milner, etc all being moved form firsts down to bench.
You realise you are responding to an ancient post. At the time I posted that Enrique was the best LB we had at the club at that time. At the time we still had Rafa signings remaining at the club. I was not giving a list of the best players we had ever signed... I was giving a list of our best xi at the time and listing who had signed them.
That was in the early days. He did look good when he first signed. I remember his first half of his first season he literally won us points from outstanding saves.
Rodgers did make some good signings... And some terrible signings. The thing about Rodgers is he made A LOT of signings. There seemed.to be a lot of turnover with people coming and going. Klopp seems to have a more targeted approach. Signing a few at a time rather than signing a lot and hoping some will.work.
Depends on how you define mentally? If you’re talking about on the pitch, then Lovren is a bottler and Sakho didn’t shirk responsibility. If you’re talking about off the pitch, then you have a point.
I still think he is good but he threw away a lot of his potential. He had the potential to be better than Matip but I don't think he would replace him now.
So back to the post from 4 years ago. Who signed our current best XI... I think your XI above is probably the best... But I disagree with a few. I'd say Migs is still better than Karius... Neither are great. I think most will agree with these... Migs - Rodgers TAA - Home Grown VVD - Klopp Matip - Klopp Robertson - Klopp Mané - Klopp Firm - Rodgers Salah - Klopp Midfield is tricky... Personally I go with: Can - Klopp Henderson - Dalglish Milkner - Rodgers I can see arguments for Ox (Klopp) or Lala (Rodgers). Keita when he arrives. This is definitely more of a Klopp team than anything else now. 7 of our best 11 players were signed by Klopp. Only 3 Rodgers players (depending on who you count) still count in the first XI.
Yes you can see why klopp wants keita worse than a dog chasing a car. The issue is horrenderson (copyright pj) and mingolet. If klopp replaces both next summer or even gets someone in the next two weeks then it really will be klopp's team. My view would be if pushed i'd want him to buy a wide forward this window and then bring in the midfielder and GK in summer. GK: NEW GK, Karius (at a push) RB: TAA Lcyne (if he's ever back) LB: Robertson, milner (get shut of the brain dead) CB: Matip, Gomez CB: VVD Lovren (bye ragnar thanks for the tv show) no 6: NEW NO 6. hoorenderson (no getting rid ) CM: Kieta, milner, grujic CM: Ox, Lallana LF: Mane NEW CF: Firmino, solanke (weak) RF: Salah, Ox, Lallana If you look at it a new wide forward or at least a versitile guy who could play across the park with 2 of the 3 we have is needed cos one injury and we are into the dregs up top. New no 6 is now a must, can't go on any more New GK is a no brainer 3 players to complete a team is the closest imo we've been to this place since 2007/08 when it was we just need that wide man to complete rafa's team.
Views on wilson/wooburn to be wide forward choice? Some feel they should be given a go before any buys... would you? I wouldn't personally. Wilson is too good for u23s but not good enough for LFC. Woodburn has 2 years development to do imo and should go on good loan to accelerate it.
Wilson hasn’t really had a chance and Woodburn has come in and looked decent, nothing more. Unfortunately, we can’t rely on them to do a job in this campaign. We need quality .
