klopp has virtually admitted coutinho is off he said its out of his hands. TTA excluded think the whole defence and keeper should follow coutinho out the door there a joke.

REDSTEVE222,
I totally agree, what ever KLOPP thinks, this season he will be judged he has had enough time with the defence to sort them, we keep making the same mistakes week after week, seen to many of those games last year. Christ were still playing with mingo, lovren, Moreno, can from the RODGERS era and they were shite then. and RODGERS has been left 3 years.
12 Aug 2017 16:17:40
He's been gone 3 years? I think you'll find it hasn't even been 2 years yet.
12 Aug 2017 16:18:14
What did Moreno do so wrong today? Give you lad a break.

And take your blinders off Trent was partially at fault for the 2nd goal. Ball should've been cleared. It's the entire team that's at fault for set piece goals.

If your a grade A coach with a reputation like KLOPP 2 and half years is enough time to put the basics of defending into your team. but that's if you are a grade coach. this is not an attack on KLOPP but we r watching the same mistakes week after week and sooner or later your cover will be blown.
12 Aug 2017 17:46:43
The only cover blown here is that you didn't even read my post properly which shows you are no better than our defence - your concentration is no better it seems lol.
Let me put in capital letters for you:
KLOPP HAS NOT BEEN MANAGER OF LIVERPOOL FC FOR 3 YEARS OR EVEN 2 AND A HALF YEARS AS YOU HAVE SUGGESTED.
HE HAS BEEN MANAGER OF LIVERPOOL FOR 22 MONTHS WHICH HAS COVERED ONE FULL SEASON, IN THAT ONE SEASON HE GOT US INTO THE TOP 4 WHICH WE WERE ALL HAPPY WITH.
Read the posts you intend replying to properly please or I for one won't reply next time.
We have had set piece frailties since Rafa and his zonal marking. Hyypia was in our defence then, as was Carragher. It's not just the coaches. The PLAYERS need to actually do what's drilled in training out on the pitch on a Saturday. You can't clear them all out can you. This is not a video game.

OIrish kev 1,
This isn't about Rafa or any other former manager, it's about the present one and we keep making the same mistakes week after week, its pantomime stuff, your can't just pick the best bits out and say he got us top 4 and we're all happy with that, you have to look at the whole package and see that the defending is shocking, considering KLOPP is a bundesliga winner, all I'm saying is it has to be sorted out sooner or later or he will be shown the door like the previous occupant.

Wembley, the previous occupant was not shown the door cos we could not defend. He was shown the door cos he was found to be incompetent, arrogant and stopped getting results on the pitch. His final 18 months on the job were dreadful or should I remind you of the 6-1 hiding at Stoke, worst LFC result in the league since WW2?

Wembley78,
He got us to two finals in his first part season, finished 4th in his only full season, beat all of our other competitors at the top of the table last season.
Knocked Utd out of the Europa league.
Finished above them last season in the league even though Mourinho came in and spent fortunes.
Klopp has done okay by me so far in his ONE FULL SEASON, it's his players who are failing to produce the goods at set pieces.
It can't just be coincidence that this has been an issue for us for years.
It's not something he brought in, it was already there and it's obviously very difficult to eradicate from certain player's game.
You could have Paolo Maldini and Bobby Moore in your team but if the other players don't defend as a team, you have no chance. Firmino, Wijnaldum, Gomez, Matip, Lovren - all should have done their jobs better.

You have just answered the exact question I posed, the previous occupant got the bullet cause he couldn't defend and stopped getting results, the 6-1 at stoke just highlighted it and if KLOPP doesn't sort it out he we be getting chased too. it's no good having all this attacking intent if the slightest bit of pressure put on us and we concede. this is not an attack on KLOPP just an observation.
