What is Jota’s deal? When he was first injured I thought he was only meant to miss 4-6 weeks? It feels like it’s been a lot longer than that. Also maybe a coincidence but think Jota’s injury is when things really started going downhill for you.
Without Jotas goals 3 months ago in the games he played we would be languishing mid table likely in the Europa League.
It's just fvcked now and getting really frustrating.
Hopefully Rodgers over thinks a big game again and does something weird like put Maddison on the left wing but I'd almost be happy with a point which shows how much we're struggling atm.
We cannot continue to play the game with CBS.
We need to put as many players in the best positions as possible. aka henderson to CM.
if we think we will lose cos two cbs have no experience then just lose anyway what is the point.
just play them
I think we beat Spurs and Palace without Jota and made it to the top of the league but then within weeks the front 3 went out of form with only Salah showing signs of some sort of recovery.
Jota did paper over the cracks when he was playing because Bobby and Mane have not look right this season.

Do think you’d be far better off with players in their actual positions. You’ve gone a bit jose’esq worrying about conceding rather than focusing on attacking.
Klopp is forever talking about rhythm, he's mad for it.
If we play Kabak I think it'll be our 23rd different line up of the season or there abouts, it doesn't help us at all.

I think so. When we were playing well Hendo was in midfield and we had Matip, Williams and Fab at the back. Then Williams lack of pace got exposed while Matip broke down properly.
Klopp solution was to weaken the midfield to try and improve defense but weakening the midfield weakened the team.

I think if we get past Leipzig we'll have a really good chance of lifting number seven.
If we do it'll be maybe our biggest achievement under Klopp imo, perhaps ever. What a tonic that would be though.
And Leicester have lost Justin to an ACL injury.

But playing a CM in defence does? Kabak and Davies need to start. Get Hendo in at No.6 and push Thiago furtner up where he can do damage

I'll be very surprised if you get what you want.
I'd put Kabak and Phillips at CB personally and put Henderson in midfield. Risky, but why not just go for it now.

It's time to start a rhythm that involves at least one of our new CBs.
guys. if the attitude i am seeing (in multiple places not just here) was applied we would never buy a player as theres never a good time to introduce a place.
REALITY CHECK. we'll probably lose anyway playing henderson and phillips as CB. GET KABAK IN.
get hendersom into CM ASAP.

Arguably our player of the season as he can cover different positions: RB, LB and CB.
As soon as we get a defender back another one gets injured. It must be something to do with teams that start with the letter 'L'.

At least you don't put midfielders in to cover defensive injuries?
i can understand not putting kabak in earlier, he didn't have clearance to play against brighton, and it was too much of a risk putting in him against a team the standard of city having only had a couple of training sessions with our team.
but now he's had that, and this full week. he's gotta be worth using now, especially since we only have him for 6 months (possibly). there's no point bringing in him slowly and letting him get used to the prem.
it has to be 'sink or swim' time, for both him and the team now.
don't know how long fab's out for now, but i'd suggest letting one of philips or davies have a run of games alongside him, give them at least a chance to develop a partnership, and get hendo back in midfield to provide some more impetus/drive going forward and still give the cb's some more protection in front of them.
I'm at the point where I just want Klopp to pick a back four and stick with it.

So looks like fab is out again
