Yes, a good goalkeeper is making his defence stronger, in insecure one is making his defence, well insecure.

Let’s say it was Gomez.

Alisson is worryingly susceptible to knocks and injury.

How does that present itself in the goals we conceded today? I just don’t see any way that any of those goals can be put down to having to accommodate a lack of faith in him.
A mate of mine who was a first division CB made the point to me just now that he’d have hated playing under this interpretation of the offside rule as you NEVER get any validation that you executed your trap properly. Look at the Arsenal game, all the write ups were about how Lacazette fluffed a series of chances, but in reality all but 1 were offside that were just not called because of the absurdity of the current approach to using VAR. He commented that if you’re always having the desperately chase back to a forward you had successfully played offside, eventually you will start to question whether you’re doing it properly. If that results in just 1 player on any given play being half a second slower because of a tiny bit of self-doubt the whole thing can unravel pretty quickly.

It’s definitely not my fault mate.

Villa were good, and also lucky.
We were bad, and also unlucky.
Still deserved to lose. We were on the back foot from the off, the pressing wasn’t there and we looked so jittery at the back. Gomez had a poor game but I’m not willing to pile in on him, as apart from Robbo, all the defenders were rubbish.
Bad day, but I trust Klopp to sort it, and I actually trust the players to respond too. They are winners, and that will hurt them.

I still don’t really understand your argument. If a player is acting jittery and not reliable at the back, you get them off before it gets worse.
No-one was questioning Klopp’s decision to hook Lovren half way through the first half against Spurs all those years ago, even if two goals were scored after he was subbed. That’s what Klopp is there for. Weigh the risks. Protect the team, and moreso protect the player.

After that performance, I’m self isolating for 2 weeks. No news programmes, no Sky Sports and definitely no TalkSport. I’ll listen to music, read books and drink a lot of malt whisky. Hopefully, I’ll resurface at the other end after we’ve twatted the blueshite, because I’m definitely not watching that game.

Grasping at straws and looking for perspective, after a shit day, admittedly, but we’re in a much better place than, say, Stoke 6-1.

So it could be 6 weeks, could be months for all we know smh…bit weird for a keeper to miss so many games.
Gomez had a bad game, but there was LOADS of space on his side with Trent up the pitch. Van Dijk wasn’t great either. And obviously Adrian was poor. The only defender who emerges with some sort of credit from that debacle was Robbo.
Doesn’t seem fair to me to single Joe out, even if he did have a poor game.
Zooming out to give a wider perspective, I’m of the view that he is a good player. Needs to find his rhythm again, but it’s all there for him. I can’t think of a better English cb, and there aren’t many in the league I’d have over him.

What to say?
A horrendous evening where we seemed to transform into the worst that the club has ever offered.
A night where VvD became Maguire,
Adrian, embraced his inner Belgian and went full Mignolet.
Gomez was touched by the spirit of Lovren,
TAA became possessed by the memory pf Konchesky
The midfield had been guilty of reading some Stephen Hawking before the game and literally disappearing into a black hole.
Firmino, obviously confused by it all caressed the worst combination of Borini and Voronin
But hey at least Jota and Salah had a go.
It seems that a scrappy 0-1 win was optimistic.
Not Gomez… He needs Allisson available to cover up his mistakes.

Judging from the wording of Pearce’s tweet, I’d guess Trent. That’s why I had said earlier that Ali’s injury may have been freakish rather than just something which makes him injury prone.
But that’s just my guess. I am a very good guesser though.

That is a good argument…You treat it with continuous repetition. Even JK says, our offside strategy against Arse, was a bit of a gamble. If so, our back had to be, uterly tidy…Now, put into that equation, somebody uterly incompetent like Adrian, because he is!
…It seems to me, we invest a lot into this position, and still we entertain the likes of Karius/Adrian?-a bit odd…
I don’t have a problem with Klopp hooking Gomez. I’ve already said it was a shit performance from him.
I am just curious, perhaps from any of the lads who were burning him at the stake at half-time, as to what hooking him actually achieved?
From where I was sitting it looked as if the channel that Villa were enjoying attacking with Gomez in the side remained as obliging as it did with him there.
Maybe, in raising this I’m hoping that a few could maybe acknowledge that, despite him having a very poor night, the midfield and his full-back did him absolutely no fucking favours at all.
