Then just some CB cover and we're solid.
Some of us have been saying this for years now.
But you can never criticize the local lad.
Oh no!!! (**slaps wrist**)
Naughty! Naughty!
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Plus, he's one of Klopp's favorites, and like every manager we've had in the modern era, Jurgen has his blind spots with players with clearly OBVIOUS (....to everyone else) shortcomings, that hurt the team but whom he'll never drop even when they need dropping.
We've been saying forever now that we need some cover on that right flank in the form of a proper and natural defense-first Rightback that Klopp can turn to, and who if nothing else would offer some real competition to Trent and push him and as a reminder whenever he has these brainfarts of his (that seem to be every game now)
Debate all you want about that first yellow, but what's the excuse and explaining away with that second foul after that for which he easily could have gotten a second yellow and seen us playing with 9 men?
And that's our so-called vice-captain.
He's been playing this game for how many years now?
But no, you can never criticize one of the only Scousers we have in the team.
And so the recurring nightmare (...as one of the commentators on the channel I'm watching correctly called it) continues for LFC.
