What's happened to him? Before Virgil arrived, he was playing really well and I was expecting them to form a partnership. He's better than Lovren and Matip but has yet to play alongside the new guy despite not being injured. What's going on?

A lot of fans will disagree with you. Klavan in many people's eyes is fourth choice centre back and after being knocked out of league and FA cup, I don't expect him to play many more games in a Liverpool shirt unless our first choice defenders are unable to play of course.

He's a decent squad player, so I would keep him, I guess it depends if he is willing to stay and wait to play, with only PL & CL games this year I doubt he will play unless Lovren & Matip are out, which is possible with their injury records.

He's been abit unlucky as I think he did well before Xmas when he was playing, so not sure why he was chosen to drop out, I'd put him not far behind Matip & Lovren.

I think he makes less mistakes but slower which doesn't suit our game

He's not as comfortable on the ball as Lovren & Matip either, Klopp wants all his defenders to be comfortable on the ball and able to bring the ball out.

He didn't make as many high profile mistakes as Lovren, but in general he's just a very average player who shouldn't be near the first team. Cheap signing so I suppose an ok squad player if 4th choice. Lovren 'might' have more re-sale so I'd sell him first, keep Klaven and bring in another potential 1st choice. Lazio guy on a free will do..

A few will be after Stefan de Vrij, he plays CB for Holland with VvD, so they know each other games well.

I see Toby Alderweireld might be sold, as he wants £150+K a week after VvD deal! he'd be a good buy as well, just a risk with his injuries when on big money, we don't want another Sturridge.

Matip yes but Lovren is not more comfortable on the ball than Klavan

He's probably off raping and a pillaging with Vicky.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

He was bought to be backup and that's what he is.
