    Klopp for all his good qualities really does do some strange/stupid things at times.

    Klopp doesn't think the Matip injury is serious.

    Ha!

    We'll know more by Wednesday night won't we - fingers very tightly crossed he is fit for that one. Would free Hendo up for midfield duty.

    Given that it's a back issue, Barcelona must be about to table a bid...

    Klopp has said Matip went of with back spasms and hopefully will be fit for Wednesday.

    I know it's not a popular opinion on here but I think we have a pretty well balanced and decent squad. Sure there is always scope for an upgrade or two but we have a squad full of players that are all very capable.

    It's a far cry from having the likes of Degan, Voronin, Poulsen and Konchesky stealing a wage.

    The club's transfer business has been phenomenal over the last 3 years. Allied with Klopps ability to smooth diamonds we're in great shape.

    Can you imagine someone like Shaqiri merely being a squad option? He'd have been a star player 4 or 5 (and beyond) years ago!
    I think we should take this Season as it comes accept the outcome whatever it is......but use the season as a chance to fully blood the younguns......

    Then stick to the policy we've all been preaching for years ......Do what ever it takes to get exactly the right player....

    All that matters for me this season is qualifying for the Champions League

    If we were in this position a few years ago yes we would want additions but we would also be happy withe the squad currently available....

    new rule means permanent substitutions can be made if a player suffers a head injury, even if all replacements have already been used.

    To avoid potential abuse of the rule, opposition teams will also be able to make a change at the same time.

    However, Premier League clubs have voted against the use of five substitutes for a third time, despite Ifab's confirming an extension to the rule on Wednesday.

    Instead, the number of top-flight players allowed on the bench has increased from seven to nine.

    This measure will come into effect from matchday 14, which begins on Saturday.

    "With player welfare the Premier League's priority, clubs agreed in principle to introduce additional permanent concussion substitutions following approval of the trial by the International Football Association Board yesterday," the Premier League said on Thursday.

    "The Premier League will look to implement protocols which will allow a maximum of two concussion substitutes to be used per team, with the opposition side able to use the equivalent number.

    "The additional concussion substitutions may be made regardless of the number of substitutions a team has made already."

    Speaking before the latest decision not to allow five substitutes, Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham said he was "surprised" top-flight clubs had not approved the change.

    Bullingham also said clubs still competing in the FA Cup would be allowed to make five substitutions.

    "I think when we started off at Ifab level, we fully expected all of the leading leagues to sign it off for the reason of a very congested season with a lack of pre-season," said Bullingham.
