Something, Something, Something, Dark Side
Sorry How many world class midfielders do we have again?
You are making the same mistake many did last summer when I said selling Lovren and not replacing was remiss.! Effectively once Virgil went down we were relying on Gomez and Matip!!!! Spot the problem.
This season - no lessons learned....and we have let Gini go without a replacement. You are counting Elliott and Jones as 2 of our 4 missing midfielders... so for me when you talk about "world class" - how many world class midfielders do we have even when they are all fit?
For the record - mentioning Oxlade Chamberlain or Naby Keita is becoming tiresome because neither get a look in.
Are they even in Klopp's plans?
They certainly would not be in mine and I personally believe that was obvious 18 months ago!
Then why are they still here?
Jota expected to be available Saturday I guess on the bench though.
That’s the question I am asking.
Without knowing, I would have thought perhaps it’s because at present we stand to make a humongous loss on both?
So rather than take the hit - we continue as is, making it look like we have options - on paper at least - simply carrying on in the hope that Klopp can work more miracles.
Our current Midfield options:
Henderson
Fabinho
Milner
Thiago
Curtis Jones
Keita
Minamino
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Have I missed anyone?
World class - ????
Elliott is also an “option” with his wealth is premier league experience.
Don’t get me wrong - I rate the lad highly but he is 18..
Minamino? He is a forward surely
As I have said time and time again …Keita - Oxlade Chamberlain. Are not options as they are never fit or seemingly good enough to be picked. Milner - is he really an option? Maybe for a few games but again he is not a viable option that you could expect to play a season with.
It’s like last season when many said - we have Matip and even Fabinho..?
We can all write any amount of names we like down - what matters is who can actually play in a side that will challenge for the big prizes.
Hmm
