Liverpool's Champions League rivals 'will be having a laugh'

Haha like he would agree to that, he has far too much pride, and Klopp has far too much pride to ask him. I know exactly what you mean though and funnily enough i brought the likes of Big Sam / Tony Pulis up last night when talking about the defence. When they go into clubs in crisis they fix the defence almost over night, just get back to basics and build from there, nothing fancy, take no risks and don't get pulled out of position, it really isn't rocket science and it isn't something that takes years to fix. Problem for them is that they can't push on once they've fixed the backline and they use the rest of the team to shield it so I'm not sure they would know how to fix a defence as isolated as ours.

We need a proper defensive mid, Hendo isn't the answer, he runs a lot but the amount of times you see an opposing player in acres of space directly in front of our back four is unforgivable (check the space their player has for the second goal yesterday, that should not be happening), I'd be going mad at my five aside team if they allowed that. Then we need a whole new defence imo, Matip & Clyne are decent but we should not be in a position where they are by far and away our best defenders. It's infuriating because 90% of the fan base were saying exactly this before the season started but somehow Klopp couldn't see it.
