It was only Mane who was helping the team defending Wolves onslaught. I can't wait for Minamino to join the squad, he will be a direct threat to the useless twin's position in the first team.

I had enough watching those two useless twins over the past two seasons, they both are passengers it is not fair to the rest of the other players.

We have two more tough games coming up, therefore, Klopp has to dig deeper to re-shape his first-team selection in order to grind out more positive results and get us to the finish line with points to spare.

Good Luck Lads

VVD/Lovren 0.94 goals/game conceded (17) over 18 games
VVD/Matip 0.67 goals/game conceded (16) over 24 games
VVD/Gomez 0.36 goals/game conceded (5) over 14 games

That is some pretty impressive stats from our current CB partnership  ...indisputable or luck of opponents?

Like I said in Joe's thread, him and VVD are just a perfect fit, they complement each other so well. They're both fast, good on the ball and Gomez has no problem listening to Virgil. Gomez and VVD is definitely our best CB pairing at the moment.

Liverpool target Diego Carlos transfer in search for Virgil van Dijk partner
Jurgen Klopp's side are set to meet defender's £65million release clause after his impressive performances for Sevilla, according to reports from Spain
Liverpool are reportedly targeting another big signing at the centre of defence as they look for the ideal partner for Virgil van Dijk.

Reports from Spain claim Liverpool have already begun negotiations over Sevilla defender Diego Carlos, who real Madrid are believed to have identified as a replacement for Sergio Ramos.
Brazilian defender Carlos has impressed since joining Sevilla from French club Nantes for just £13.5million in the summer.

The 26-year-old is likely to fetch much more than that when he leaves Sevilla, with Liverpool ready to offer £65million for his services, according to a report from Spanish publication Eldesmarque .

Carlos started every La Liga game for Sevilla this season, helping them to third in the table, and Liverpool are reportedly set to swoop for him in the summer.

I reckon we should put in a cheeky bid for Traore in January, he really looks like he is beginning to fulfil his potential. He looked pretty much unplayable 1 v 1 today. Sometimes breezed past two players like they weren't there.

Imagine what Klopp could do with him with a bit of his coaching never mind Santo.

Get Traore then let Minamino, Mane and Salah run at opposition defenders and you will see real fear in the enemy's eyes 

...and let Trent take extra free kick lessons and you will add at least a dozen of goals per season there

To be fair he has improved a lot over the last 12 months, he's a lot better now than he was then and I think he'd improve again working with Jurgen.
I've always thought he has the raw materials (extreme pace, strength, power, can go past a man like they are not there  etc) to be something a bit special.
