Ed001 if you were in charge who would be your No1 keeper for the 1st team mate and how long of a run would you give them?

{Ed001's Note - it really depends. It would not be Mignolet though and they would get as long as it felt necessary to be sure they were the right choice. It would be a lot more than 10 games that much is defo. If you mean what would I have done in the summer, I would have allowed Ward to go on loan again with Huddersfield for experience and given Karius the chance for the season. Now Ward has been kept back though it seems pointless to do so if you are not going to give him games. It is a bit of a mess of Klopp's making to be honest.}

True. I don't blame klopp for the defence as much as some do because we know he wanted vvd so he knows there are issues. But the GK situation, he has really made a rod for his own back. Why keep ward and then not even give him the shirt for league cup? I can understand wanting two good keepers but why does he need three? I think this situation will be sorted before next season, this season is a trial but how does ward prove himself without getting a shot?

{Ed001's Note - it is bizarre but we just have to hope he knows what he is doing. He did develop a fair few players in the past so maybe it is part of a long term plan. Only thing I can think of is he wants to make Ward determined to prove Klopp wrong and so work harder.}

I hope so ed. There are a few things that suggest klopp is planning for long long term, keita coming next year, keeping ward at Liverpool and having faith in youngsters like dom solanke joe gomes and trent Alexander arnold, who are undoubtedly the future of liverpool. I'm really glad klopp is thinking in the long term because although some of his decisions seem odd sometimes, I think he is a brilliant manager and coach. I think he will win the league. It may not be this season, although I think we have a chance, but next year when we have keita and hopefully VVD or another high class cb, and the gk situation is sorted, we will be a force to be reckoned with.

{Ed001's Note - he is certainly planning on being here, so fingers crossed as a long term stay will mean he has won things!}

Thank's for the reply Ed but like you said I really hope that JK know's what he's doing.

{Ed001's Note - only time will tell on that.}

Thanks for the info, Ed. I love Klopp and would not trade him for anyone BUT like you, the whole GK situation is a joke and he has to take the blame for that. Apart from that, you can see he has a plan for the long term and I know that is poison for a lot of fans BUT we have to stick with his plan cos well, he has taken us forward from where the Spoofer left us in 2015. Don't let the pathetic media tease you with their "Klopp has not improved LFC" crap as that is patently false.

We just need to support him as he knows where our issues are and they will be fixed BUT they will not be fixed in one window. If it was that easy, City with all the money literally on the planet, would have fixed their defence by now and even they can't do it. Keep the faith, lads!
