Its going to be a bit of rant.
I do not like that FSG can't back us financially for a much needed signing.
however,
I also don't get why we can't move some player to fund a signing. Its so quite. Klopp wants defender and we have players to sell.
why can't we move some players at lower prices to fund a new CB which is certainly the need of the hour.
What good does keeping origi, keita, philips, ox, Shaq does us when they are probably not part of the bigger picture. Same with some of the younger lads.
I know its not a buyers market and C.V. and all but surely we can sell origi for 10 million and shaq for 10 million and fund a move for CB.
Why are the club not doing that?
I am pretty sure for 10 million odd there will be some buyers for origi and shaq.
Quite unbelievable really that if the owners can't afford it we fall to our knees. that's a very dangerous model. I was super surprised when out of nowhere we bought in jota for a lot of money but didn't go for any defender in the summer. It is kind of ridiculous that we still arent.

One thing I’ve not seen anyone mention is our height in midfield. Without Fabs and Hendo in there we have no height. This allows flick ons from the midfield which puts the back 4 under pressure.
It was evident against Burnley with Thiago losing lots of aerial duels and ultimately not even challenging for the header back into the box which led to the pen.
Again yesterday when the ball is in the air in midfield we lose it more often than not.

I think today Klopp needs to go as strong as possible . If a player is fit and would play in this game if it were a league game they should start. Forget its a cup game, forget its United we just need a win. A loss today could give a mortal blow to confidence with a really tough set of fixtures coming up. Forget Spurs on Thursday we need a win today. Alison, Matip, Fabinho, Trent, Robbo, Hendo/ Shaqiri ( depending on Hendos fitness) Gini, Thiago, Salah, Mane, Bobby. If they are fit they need to start. Only way to get form back is to play games. I reckon OGS will play a strong team today knowing a win would boost his team and deflate ours immeasurably. Time for the attacking 5 to get their groove back.

With regards to the subs this evening, if Klopp thinks origi is the answer, he's asking the wrong question.
24 Jan 2021 19:39:23
Kind of wonder if Klopp, is picking Rhys Williams to prove a point to FSG to open the purse to buy a centre back
Nat Phillips was surely a more sensible option unless injured.
24 Jan 2021 19:56:40
It's not young Rhys Williams. He shouldn't be anywhere close to the first team but FSG will not budge. Top four our only hope now.
24 Jan 2021 04:50:09
I am more worried about TAA and robbo atm to be honest.
They create 30-40 goals a season and both of them aee really off the pace and struggling which is reflected in our front having a barren run.
Because of injuries in our defense they have an extra defensive burden. TAA specially isn't enjoying his football at the moment. Robbo also pretty much looks knackered.

The chinks in klopps Armour has been exposed and the lack of tactical brilliance has been lost since buvac left. We are seeing it all unravel now as there is no one behind klopp to help him navigate these issues like what buvac used to do before. Klopp is an excellent man manager and is perfect for the media and just brings it all together, but we are missing a key element when it comes to dealing with these sort of challenges and its plain to see where this gap is.
This isn't a blip, this isn't a dip in form, we will struggle to turn things around if Klopp and these players don't get the tactical support that they were getting before.
If you think I am talking nonsense, watch the next few games, klopp and the players will do the exact same things over and over even if other players are put on to try and change things up.
24 Jan 2021 14:18:43
Was just looking at the league table and guess which team has scored the most goals this season!
And we haven't scored in last 5 games.
22 Jan 2021 12:26:34
For me there's always been a drop off in performances when are first 11 don't play. Are players have been so used to playing in the same system with the same players. Even with 10 of the first 11 fit any games we played without trent or Robbo was very noticeable. I'd like to see fabinho back into midfield so we can get back to as close to normal as possible.
24 Jan 2021 17:25:09
All go through a bad patch at some time this time its ours.
24 Jan 2021 17:33:55
Why no matip today?
22 Jan 2021 15:07:46
any update on what was up with Hendo?
22 Jan 2021 15:57:21
Should have shipped both Keita and OX last summer for a world class center back and an actual midfielder who plays and scores. Klopp’s biggest issue is his blind loyalty. How did Arsenal manage to convince us to sign Ox is beyond me. He was abysmal yesterday.
24 Jan 2021 18:35:26
Young rhys William's is having a nightmare today at fault for both goals so far.
23 Jan 2021 08:42:11
Everyone knows we need/ would want a cb, but if one is not available at the right price and one that is good enough to fit into the squad then what's the point? Start spending out of our means and we may get short term success, long term we would be fubarred.
Klopps comments have been blown way out of proportion imo and some cut to suit certain peoples agendas against FSG.
We are the talk of the town because of our form and journos will find ways of adding fuel to the fire, this being one of them. All the other teams this season have been through it now its our turn. Its not the end of the world and I'm 99% sure our team is good enough to turn it around.

Should of got manzukic in
Someone to aim at for these crosses.
21 Jan 2021 22:20:40
I’m going for Matip and Phillips at the back and get fab back where he belongs with Hendo and Thiago further forward and go from there.
22 Jan 2021 08:01:54
I think everyone should calm down a bit
It's been atleast 2. 5 years this team has been pedal to the Metal
This drop off was already seen need the end of last season and I'm sure klopp knew an got jota an Thiago in - great buys-
I am sure the team will be revamped again in the summer - this team has won the league another cups and got here with two mids as centre backs - It's a tough league and they will have this experience now and remember it . they remembered finishing 2nd almost winning it losing a cup final and look what happened
Understand they are trying - 25 shots last night so give them a break.
22 Jan 2021 08:16:32
So we are in a terrible rut at the minute and it seems to be a horrible mix of luck, injuries and the team losing all confidence in front of goal. Plus turning into arsenal under Wenger and trying to score the perfect goal because they seem scared that someone has a better opportunity, before inevitably losing it and we are back at square one.
But the way I see it is if you don’t have lows the highs don’t seem as great, and the low we are experiencing now isn’t even that low compared to hodgson and H&G.
I’m confident the team will get through this, they haven’t turned into bad players overnight, but it will take time to get back in the groove.
21 Jan 2021 19:46:48
What on earth has Minamino done to piss off klopp, surely with firmino dropping to the bench, he should be the one coming into the team. I have massive respect for what origi has done for us in seasons gone by but he offers absolutely nothing!
