Gomez injured ?.

He's on the bench. Not a serious injury, just not fit to start. Probably doesn't help that he hasn't been good enough the last 2 years. Whereas Phillips has never let Klopp down and is virtually always available. This is why people wanted him to stay as 4th choice. Matip, Gomez and Konate are all injury prone and that will likely never change.

Konate is not injury prone. I'm fairly sure this is his first injury since he's been at the club and it was an impact injury.

Thunderbird2, Konate's injury record isn't very impressive.

In 19/ 20, he was out for almost 6 months.
20/ 21 was similar, injured for over 5 months with muscle injury.

What kind of injury stops you starting a game but allows you to come on for 35 minutes?

16 Aug 2022 05:52:52
Gomez was excellent. No doubt he's ahead of Nat this season.

It was nice to see Nat today.

Faithworks. Nat was not good at all.

To be honest I assumed when Gomez wasn't in the 11 that he was injured. I didn't even bother to look at the bench. Apparently Joe only trained once this week (Sunday)?
As for Nat, he was doing great until the goal then the wheels seemed to come off a bit. If he had been in line with VVD then Zaha would have been offside. It wasnt rocket science to play Zaha on the shoulder of our slowest CB.

Nat held the ball too long and didn't look comfortable at all to me. He's a distant 5th choice imo. Did a job for us season before last but not good enough for us.

Whilst Nat is down the pecking order, I don’t think we can blame him for the Palace game, I though the defence were given no protection, I thought Fab had a dreadful game, he was to blame for the first goal, his distribution was safe and sloppy at times and he seemed a yard off the game, I think Nat is an easy target because he’s not a big name in the team…. I also think for the first goal Virg should’ve moved closer to Nat as soon as Fab lost out in midfield.

So your trying to tell me virg should have moved across and left the other side wide open when Nat was already there?

Virg done exactly what he should have done not leave his side of the pitch wide open until the last minute, Nat tried to move up for the offside when he shouldn’t and was totally at fault for very poor positioning in the first place.
