Klopp has the option of Tsimikas or Gomez at left-back if Robertson doesn't look right. Salah still scoring and assisting even if he isn't at his best. Núńez assisted today too.
A Quansah error was costly, as was a lack of killer edge.
But we could have been down to 10 let's not forget - Kelleher dives for that Fernandes shot and almost reaches it, when he was outside the box - automatic red card and almost inevitable loss.
I feel bad for Quansah.
That (admittedly BIG glaring) error aside, he was actually pretty solid at the back today partnering Virgil, and even had some stand-up moments stopping some attacks down the right flank when Bradley had been beaten.
But all anyone is going to remember is him giving that pass away to lead to Fernandes goal.
You've even seen it on this board will people acting like that's all he contributed to the game while ignoring the hatful of other times he stopped attacks at the back.
Our failure to win this game is more on the ineptidude and ineffectiveness of our front three than it is on that one defensive error.
The kid's solid and a great investment for our future and I hope, regardless of how the season plays out, he doesn't let this be what defines him or have it negatively impact his development going forward.
