Lovrens decent but imo pairing with Van Dijk has helped him loads. I'm not convinced on Matip he is injury prone and not reliable. Gomez is still learning so can't be relied on leading the back line.
That lad Everton picked up would have been a good option for us.

“I cannot train at all because of stomach muscle issues,” said Lovren. “I am suffering a lot of pain and will see a specialist doctor in the Netherlands.“When did I start to feel it? I felt it during the World Cup. I played with pain and those three games killed me. But who wouldn't play for Croatia at such a big tournament!

“After the World Cup finished, the pain increased. I can't even sit in my car without feeling it and to get out of the car hurts like hell! “I'd always grit my teeth and play for Croatia, but now I am paying the price. But no price is too high for what we achieved in Russia.” Asked about Liverpool's reaction to the injury, Lovren – speaking to Croatian news outlet Sportske Novosti – said: “Of course, they are not happy.

“I haven’t trained since I returned from holiday. I can't. “I'll reassess things after seeing the doctor in Netherlands. I have to deal with that for now and believe it will be okay.

“I hoped it would pass during my holiday, but it didn't. As I went for a swim, it hurt. I couldn't even rest normally.”   

If Liverpool knew Matip and Klavan were both unavailable and this unreliable tool would be returning injured ,why the f*ck didn't they sign a replacement in the window ?

Lovren has been training this week and even said he was ready to play against Tornio. He was in training photos from Monday and Wednesday. Would be odd if that story is true.

It does say he hasn't trained fully.  Fwiw I doubt the Echo would print it if it wasn't true and it does sound like Lovren.

Yep, some things never change.   

RBG called it a few weeks back in this thread, the inability to bring in another solid CB will cost us.

How about a little positivity?
I won't be posting throughout this season as the YOYO up and down of emotive opinions, week by week analysis just isn't fun.
Does anyone actually think West Ham aren't a bag of nerves today? They are one mistake from taking a hiding as with any team that now comes to Anfield

Last season was a blast. Last season was nearly EPIC!
Klopp and the boys deserve the respect THEY HAVE EARNED!
