Gomez better get back up to speed asap.  Can't be doing with Lovren against City

Lovren ball watching against a decent team will be disastrous. 

 

It's ok though, if you ignore all his mistakes, he's playing well.

Massive blow this, no good at all.

I’m joking of course. That’s a big blow.

Shame, as he’d been great. We should be fine though - Van Dijk and one of Lovren, Gomez or even Fabinho if required. 

 

A similar injury to one of our front three would be a great deal more worrying.

Fabinho at centre half after the way he's been bossing the midfield? No way. Lovren and Gomez isn't great cover and will do nothing to stop the palpatations.

Prefer Gomez -- he was playing at a level before injury Lovren never has.

I agree,but Gomez last performance at centre half was very below standard.

Hopefully he can get back to his former standard.

But Lovren was the best centre back in the world, is he not now?

It's close.

I often defend Lovren on here because I think a lot of posters judge him particularly harshly and unfairly (like bizarrely blaming him for the goal we conceded against Spurs) but Klopp needs to use this as an opportunity to get Gomez up to speed as he’s the future.

[sir roger]

Putting to one side the relative abilities , Gomez is the future & Lovren isn't.

 

( Can't believe Lovren's mate has stolen my thunder by five seconds )

sir roger and ViRdjil have never been seen in the same place at the same time. 

 

Or have they?

Matip injury update

Liverpool have played down suggestions Joel Matip will be ruled out until December, but admit they are unsure when the Cameroonian will return to action.

[Grinch]

Three injury prone centre backs has never been ideal.  Every time this chap and Gomez gets any form they break down. 

 

Replacing Lovren in the summer with someone not made of quavers would be best.

January it is then

I think we can get away with Lovren against most, but our away game v man city last season was ridiculous.  2 incredible teams playing at such a high level, and Citys gameplan was clearly let Lovren have the ball, knowing hes a level below everyone else in the team. 

Gomez has to come in now surely

The Napoli centre half? Wouldn't he be cup tied in Europe if we did?

That restriction has been removed now. Besides we don't have Gaurdiola at the helm of us. Don't think Klopp will ask us to sign Koulibaly

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Konate at Leipzig.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Certainly a blow, but the City game apart we have a nice run of games to cope with. Can't afford any more injuries in that department though. Lovren seems to be ahead of Gomez at the moment, we are not privvy to what goes on behind the scenes but I get the impression that Gomez is sulking and looks half arsed when called upon. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Gomez looks to have taken a step backwards, for whatever reason. I do think it's wise to stick with him though. Lovren was nearly gone in the summer so no point in looking to the future with Lovren. Plus he's fuckin shite.

[TheHowieLama]

Is aRdj now negging any post that mentions Lovren??

 

Umm kayy
