We have 1 RB, 1 LB and 3 CB’s in the first team squad if we let Lovren go now.

 

That’s not giving youth a chance, it’s fucking stupidity. 

Yeah, but I bet you said that when we waited on Van Dijk instead of signing another centre back, or when we let Clyne go on loan, or sold Solanke without having any replacements.

 

It’s what Klopp does, smaller squad, keeps players happy. You can think it’s fucking stupid (and I would have kept Lovren) but it’s worked ok despite the risks so far.

It's real footie. Not footie manager on the PC. Lovren will get next to no game time. He's done that to a lesser extent last season. He'll likely get even less game time this season. And he's 30. He's not going to want to sit around on the bench in the latter stages of his career. 

 

He'd probably only feature in league cup games. Maybe the FA Cup too. That limited game time is better going to someone like Hoever. 

 

We'll be fine. Hoever can play CB. Fabinho can slot in there for the odd game or two. Hasn't Robertson played at centre back for Scotland a few times too? Gini bossed it when he played there against Brighton. 

 

We'll be sound.

Did either of those guys play last year?

 

No, but that's not the point. The cover was there if we needed it. We don't have any cover now. It's just players playing out of position or youngsters with zero experience.

He decided to use Henderson and Milner instead of either of those two clowns last year -- they are still here so we have the exact same cover.

 

So we're relying on Milner and Henderson for left back, right back and centre back cover and you think that's a sensible approach, do you?

It may not be ideal but it worked last season

Lovren played 18 times last season and was very consistent. 

Van Den Berg looked very good in pre season along with Lewis and Larouci so i think we have back up for the back up. Im really not concerned over Lovren moving on good luck to the guy
