KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum It's official Klopp is clueless

Saying that he is sick to see us concede from set pieces means to me that he doesn't know what to do. I would suggest he brings in somebody who has proven experience defending set pieces to help him.

Maybe if he'd bought some defenders he'd not see it so often?

It's hardly official.

Yes we are still shocking in defence. But he hasn't bought anyone to help the defence. Robertson rarely plays and Matip is mostly injured.

I think he tried to prove a point by saying "I was defender. It's very simple. Back to basics bla bla bla"

He must realise now that Moreno would be great in a 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 like Chelsea and Man City play.
He must know that Lovren is to defence what I am to women.

He doesn't like January transfers but he may have to change that as we are not looking great at the minute.

On the other hand. If Firminio score the pen against Sevilla. We win that game 4/5-1 they were poor

If the burnley keeper didn't have the game of his life against us then that too would have been rosy and no one would have cared about this game.

Also if Solanke could manage a shot on target that would be great.

So your opinion is now official.

I don't remember that announcement.

We sold Sakho, which left our defence bare thin and then bought Oxdale Chamberlain for £40m, for which we could have bought a defender other than the one we were chasing for months.

We then decided to spend all summer rejecting a huge offer for a player that does not want to here, we could have used the money to buy players that want to play at Liverpool e.g. Lemar.

We bought Robertson and then decided to put him on the bench behind a player who has been [oops] for the last 16 months.

I like Klopp, but surely he must be criticised for this b.s. decisions ?

A warm reminder, Robertson was playing in our last two games.

For Sakho, he had issues in training attitude and discipline, he must go. He was not playing last season anyway so losing him is nothing worsen our defence. Btw, he is not fit to play in crystal palace last game which means that even if he is still with the team, our CB partnership would still be the same.

Ok, then why didn't we use the money to get a better defender? Why did Klopp introduce Robbo just now?

Heard him saying this himself after the game, that's the most official you can get, don't you think?

I think you'll struggle to find him saying he is clueless.

For Robbo, I think Klopp believe players need to get some training to fit in his system. Therefore, unless there are no other choices, he normally didnt rush players to the first team. Robbo joined us a bit late in the pre-season (missed the entire hong kong trip) and that's why he didnt feature a lot in the first few games. Plus, although many didnt like Moreno, Moreno is actually playing his best games since he joined us. Moreno consistently provide support for attack and defensively, he didnt look as vulnerable as before.

Alternatively, our RB looks vulnerable when Clyne sit out. A lot of goals related to the errors of the RB or simply assisted from a cross from left wing. This surprised me a lit to be frank as Arnold did pretty well in the pre-season and last season as well.
Clyne unexpectedly missed more games than before also made the situation worse. I would suggest to let Arnold rest for a few games first and play Gomes instead.


For another defender, I think Klopp had confident he could get in some real quality in January and that's why he decided to wait.
Tbh, Lovern and Matip had some good partnership towards the end in the last season and we had a few good clean sheets. The defence was not as worse as the recent few games.
