Liverpool is now 5th on the table. How una see am?


Fluking your way to a league title is easy. Retaining the league is what separates the greats from the shaft.

Yeye Loser!

Why are you avoiding this thread like a plague? Imagine spending 300 million to sit in 5th position.

Liverpool are expected to approach RB Leipzig for a centre-back in the summer, but rather than rumour mill favourite Dayot Upamecano, it could be for Ibrahima Konate.

Even without the current situation, the Reds were believed to be planning to bring in a new centre-back at the end of the season, to supplement the trio of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.


While the long-term absence of both Van Dijk and Gomez has increased pressure on the club to reinforce this month, that is seemingly still the plan.

A short-term solution could be found before the winter window closes on February 2, but the summer is more likely to be the time that Jurgen Klopp adds to Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip, allowing Fabinho to return to midfield.

Many centre-backs have already been linked with a move to Anfield, and perhaps none more frequently than Upamecano, who will be available due to a £37.3 million release clause in his contract.

However, journalist Rory Smith, speaking on the Guardian‘s Football Weekly podcast, has hinted that Liverpool have instead decided on the Leipzig defender’s partner at the back, Konate.

“I don’t think it’s to do with money not being available to Klopp,” he said.

“I think the club’s principle and policy is if we can’t get the exact player we want then we’re not going to sign anybody. That has worked for them brilliantly.

“I think they intend to sign a central defender in the summer. I think that central defender is probably someone they’ll play against in the Champions League last 16 – and I don’t think it’s Dayot Upamecano.

“They’ve obviously decided that is what they’re going to do.”

Konate is a 21-year-old France youth international who joined Leipzig in 2017 and has gone on to make 86 appearances for the club, typically as the right-sided centre-back.

Liverpool have already been credited with an interest in the youngster, with BILD claiming the Reds have expressed a desire to sign both him and Upamecano, who he has played alongside 47 times so far.

The decision to wait until the summer to bring in a high-potential, proven defender like Konate may prove divisive, but it certainly fits the long-term vision of the club – particularly given his age.

Seeing out the rest of the season with Fabinho and Matip as first choice, with Jordan Henderson, Rhys Williams, Nat Phillips and Billy Koumetio in reserve and faint hopes of Van Dijk or Gomez returning, may be a gamble.

But that is in keeping with Liverpool’s approach, as making any kneejerk signings to solve a relatively short-term problem could upset the balance of the squad entirely, as has been the case in the past.

Klopp has hinted at some discord over the CB situation. I suspect he wants a stop-gap brought for this current window. I'm a bit surprised one hasn't already been brought in. Will post a good Twitter thread I saw about this.

You will certainly need a stop-gap to plug your yansh after whoring yourself out Akwunakwuna!

And you can post all the twitter threads you like, your club will still be 5th in the league, behind West Ham!

Yeye Bush Rat

You are still here crying and crying.. boo hoo hoo... no center back boo hoo.
How do you like the league table? Loser!

[danfo driver]

Yeye LowLife, how life na? I know misery don almost kill you for there. But take it easy.. eh! take it easy. Tottenham will do the needful tomorrow and you can taste victory for the first time in 7 games. that should ease the pain and misery in an otherwise wasted life.

txj, these are the important points:

It shouldn't be taken as a given that Fab will stay fit for the remainder of the season...

It also should beg taken as given that Gomez and VVD will come back ready to play at the start of next season. To protect the value you keep winning. Liverpool climbed ok the money list because we have been winning. If we miss out of top 4, this will be a regrettable decision. Not buying/loaning a serviceable CB or 2.

Good point. I understand in normal times with financial certainty that Liverpool would have just brought or loaned a CB; but it makes even more sense to take action now given the way the league season is playing out.

Abandoned dog! Do you remember what happened in your "home?" and why you turned out the way you have turned out? always crying and crying and b1tching like a dog? We know.

Hendo now constantly injured. Imagine Fabinho going down too down too! And they are messing with the confidence of Rhys. He does not have the body yet for the premier league and he will play well for the most part but will continue to make the occasional errors that will cost the team. Phillips while not as technically hosted will at least play within his limit. Head the ball out and clear it as necessary. Wonder why he is not being tried.

Nna, if you weren't twerking and gyrating like a stripper trying to earn a dollar you wouldn't have to edit your post three times.

Just calmly sit down, catch you breath, and make your point instead of exposing pant from thread to thread.

Biko! It's what they would have wanted.

Yeye Dog, I know you love men's pants and naked white men in underwear; but any comment on Liverfluke retaining the title?

Edit -- Even the likes of Ranieri and the dog, Dalglish, has won the title before. Anyone can fluke the title. Can you retain it?? thats the question!

Edit -- Oh I forgot to add--

[danfo driver]

Yeyeman, watch me twerk!!!!!!! Benitez, Gerrarddddd!!! See me, see yansh! Watch me shake am!!!

[danfo driver]

Gerrard Gerrard!!!! Where is Yeyeman? YOU ARE CURSED! Watch me shake bodi!

Relax fella.

[danfo driver]

Yeye Ewu, Where you relaxed when Liverpool fell from 1st position to 5th within 2 weeks?

You notice how your usually arrogance has been shattered and you have piped down? Kaii! Football sweet sha! It can humble even the most bombastic element!

Sir, this is a Chelsea thread.

You just found out it was a Chelsea thread? You seem to have forgotten and thought this was one of your gay websites you visit regularly. Look at me! Shake am! Shake am!




Football don humble you sha! You are even calling me "Sir" now. remember when you were arrogant, bumping your chest like a convulsed peacock and you had sharp mouth? After 2 weeks of humiliation, you don pipe down! Oniranu!

Sir, please stop twerking all over this thread. I know you're happy Fat Frank has been sacked but e don do! Biko! This isn't why you were sent to obodo oyibo.

I don't think they're messing with Rhys tbh, they just had little other choice. Phillips is clearly limited - a meat and potatoes defender - there's not much difference between him and Rhys. But the fact, Klopp has played Hendo in defence ahead of them tells its own story.

Yeye mad dog,

You seem to like meat quite a lot.

It shouldn't be taken as a given that Fab will stay fit for the remainder of the season...

See.

[Alategun]

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Henderson, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Thiago, Mane, Salah, Firmino

Subs: Kelleher, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Tsimikas, Shaqiri, Origi, R. Williams, Phillips

Fabinho injured. Not good. We need some luck. We are due. Keep fighting RedMen! YNWA.....

[txj]

See.

Massive risk in trying to muddle thru in central defence.

Klopp says Matip's injury is quite serious. Add to that now Fab getting some knocks and missing a game. Same for Hendo...

FSG has to gamble financially; really no other viable options...
