Blame Klopp for everything- The Injury Thread II

I agree re his potential - but I'm not sure why you think he'd be playing that many games (unless we have a whole bunch of injuries)?

 

we now have Salah and Mane flanking Firmino plus a healthy Hendo in MF. I doubt Lallana will be starting as many games at all.

Woody is being groomed for the playmaker role (nbr 10 or nbr 8). yes he's a kid but Klopp is very very high on him as shown by the minutes he's been getting in the past 12 months. nobody is saying he'd have the same impact and nobody is saying throw him in the deep end but imo off the bench he can become more and more influential.

grujic also has great potential and now he's healthy I expect we'll see a lot more of him this season.

 

We have some very good youngsters pushing their way into the squad, but we've also got a lot of games and a number of first team players who are famously fragile. We should only spunk for players we see as adding significant quality, but we could certainly use some additional help in the back line (obviously) and MF. 1 or 2 more strong additions would be great.

 

Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne has been ruled out for a “significant period of time” due to a back injury and will miss most of the club’s Champions League group-stage matches, manager Juergen Klopp said.

Did I hear Ings got injured again at the reserves game?

 

Think withdrawn as a precaution?

 

er - Coutinho?

lovren takes multiple painkillers before each game, and can't train between games ....

Pretty lousy work by our staff and manager if this is actually true.
A pill or two to keep a slight knock from affecting you - cool.
But four/five/six pills has to have a mental effect - and it isn't a surprise that he suffers most in the mental aspects of the game.

 

and if he (Lovren) is that "banged up" surely we would've pressed beyond VvD for a replacement/backup...

 

So a crocked and gaffe prone Lovren is better than our other options? FFS...

 

And Sakho gets the boot for diet pills, go figure.

 

This is really alarming. Agger did the same thing over an extended period of time, and taking the pills (a) in some instances actually exacerbated his existing injuries, and (b) contributed to making his body so broken that he lost effectiveness at an early age, and had to retire from football at an only slightly less early age.

 

Not good

 

Mane hamstring injury. Out for up to six weeks.

 

Mane' likely out until we play Stoke on Nov. 29th.


AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH

 

Mane out for so long is a blow, he's probably become our best player since arriving. But on the plus side I think Lallana is close to returning and Ox-C was bought to give us some depth to cover injuries like this. Time for him to step up.

 

This feels like replacing a dropped ice cream cone with a glass of skim milk.

 

Not too many teams can replace their best player with a similar quality back up, we certainly can't . But having said that our attacking options are supposed to be the strong area of the squad and if we can't remain competitive after the loss of one player then we might as well throw in the towel now.
