I’m pretty sure Klopp doesn’t decide how much to pay the players.

Deano,

Very valid points.

The new contract to Migs, Lovren was mind bogling.

Ultimately resolved myself thinking we will sell them at first instance and hoped they will not go on cheap.

But Kaurius though young is on the same level as Migs. Not much of a quality.

Hopefully this will force Klopp to give Ward a chance as he deserves it more than the other two.

Also no harm in playing Grujic and the boy from Arsenal that we signed.
he looked very good in friendlies.

Cheers.

@samikewell - Ejaria is a long way off being ready for the first team - and given our poor form, and the fans getting testy, i'm not sure it is the right time to be blooding a youngster into the first team, especially one who still has much developing to do.

Ejaria scored for the u23's yesterday. As did Wilson (again) and Grujic. 3-1 win over United.

Not saying they should play by the way 😂 just informing you!

I think we may as well start putting youngsters in, can it be worse? Don't want to damage their confidence, mind, but really.

Ward should surely get his chance in goal. Why else did he not go out on loan again?

No one stops to think that the problem may be deeper than Klopp. How can two totally different managers (BR and Klopp) be making the same mistakes? How can both of them not see things that we see? I'm straight to think it's our owners. Yes they have done good things for us but transfer wise it has been the same for 7 years. Always missing out and targeting the wrong players.

You’re on the right track but the owners don’t recruit the players - but the recruitment team clearly isn’t doing well in terms of identifying defensive targets.

The issue is clear BUT it does not go deeper than the coach. Season stats
7-8 28 conceded
8-9 27 conceded
9-10 35 conceded
10-11 44
11-12 48
12-13 54
13-14 50
14-15 48
15-16 50
16-17 42
Last season was the best in 7 years and we were progressing. But the major jump coincides with the sacking of rafa. and how we bemoaned him playing to holding midfielders lolol.

I think klopp is the man. but it frustrates me that he has not recognised the problem, that if you are going to play this attacking football you need a bit more protection to the back line. spurs played us perfectly and hit us on the break time and time again.
To play the way we play you need quick centre backs. and solid defensive minded full backs. and a goal keeper that does not shout, but shouts the right things, organises and communicate well and quickly.
A quick fix until these players are got is available already. we have the players already to play 4-2-3-1. offering that bit more protection against the break. klopp reputation is still in tact, but if he fails to address these issues he is seriously going to start looking like a flawed manager as per Rodgers.
Finally I would not let migs near that team again. If we are going to have a keeper making mistake after mistake then play the younger ones who may learn from their mistakes as migs clearly is not, has not and never will learn.

The recruitment team isn't doing very well identifying any targets to be honest, like Saido Mane or Mohamed Salah needed identifying? They were top players doing it week in week out in the PL and Serie A, not like a Coutinho f. eks picked from Inter's reserves or Emre Can after barley kicking a ball for Leverkusen.

We need lallana back, i didn't realise how important he was to that midfield. we need to consider finding henderson a new role. Kitmans apprentice.
