Does anybody else feel signing VVD or any other centre half won't cure our defensive woes and are problems run much deeper in that they lie with the manager and coaching staff in there philosophy of defending.
I just think even if the defence was Clemence, Neal, Jocky, Big Sami and Crazy Horse with Klopp organising them we would be just as bad as the shower we had out today.... I'm starting to get the impression you don't rate Mr. Klopp

I'm starting to get the impression you don't rate Mr. Klopp We had these problems under BR as well, with Suarez digging us out winning games 4-3. But I agree, I like Klopp but we have had this problem defending for 5 years, I expected him to sort it out being a CB himself, maybe we should bring in big Sam to work on the defence, he would stop us leaking goals, look what he did at CP, he's be playing Sakho lol Do we have a defensive coach? maybe someone like Carra?

Bring in Steve Clark! He sorted the defence under Kenny. That took about a week and then we were at it as any other normal PL team. Remember? http://outsideoftheboot.com/2012/11/18/the-deputy-god-steve-clarke/Have a look at the part about set pieces a bit further down...

Yeah, I don't care who comes in as long as they improve the defence, but yes, Clarke did a good job, we had a decent defence under Kenny, we also had Carragher & Skrtel which must make coaching a defence easier! The best managers bring in the best people around them, Shankly had a great team around him, Fergy did the same, regularly bringing in top coaches. Klopps team have noticed our defensive frailties in the last 18 months, we should be seeing signs of improvements, the only thing I can say is that he has identified the defence as a problem as he has brought in Robertson and is trying to get VvD.

We played our best midfield v Watford !! No we didn't, neither Lallana or Coutinho were available due to injury.

As it is now and for the next few months it is But it's not our best midfield when everyone is fit and available? Coutinho should be fit again soon which gives us more creativity which will help massively, the defensive problems are clear though.

If he has put a transfer in Klopp won't pick him imo fit or not Suarez wanted to leave, we stood firm and he delivered a fantastic season, so why can't we do the same with Coutinho?

Yes I do, he missed the last pre-season game against Bilbao before all of this started so no reason to think any different.

I didn't see the game yesterday but from what I've read it sounds like it was a completely predictable Liverpool performance.scoring goals at one end and dropping major boll@cks at the other.some things never change
