KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Best defence in the league.

I read some stats earlier about our defence.

We all 'know' our defence is shambolic. Poor. Awful. Weak. The reason we will never challenge etc.

After game 9 this season. We had the 6th worst defence in the league.

This is the interesting bit though.

For the next 29 games. We had the best defence in the league. Conceded the least. So for 75% of the season we had the best defence. Which makes no sense as we are constantly told how poor it is.

This is what Klopp has been saying (I thought he was just trying to be positive.) But every goal we concede gets highlighted and analyised way more than any other team.

I'll post a link but if it breaks the forum rules (it is from a different site) please delete the link.

Dont let those stats deceive you, we were [oops] throughout the season conceding at every cross, corner, free kick you name it. De gea won the golden glove so Utd had the best defence this year.

Interesting. I think like the article says, it's the way we concede sometimes which must lead to our thinking. We do see some proper school boy stuff at times.
