Perhaps there just isn't a solution to Laporte getting injured.I honestly think it's mental. I had no doubt that we would overhaul the scousers even just a few days ago, but despite the usual lip service shite from the players on Twitter, I'm not sure they believe it. They certainly don't fucking act that way anyhow.
I would also like to see Pep take some chances ffs, he isn't blameless by any stretch. Yes we have injuries. Put some youth in, freshen things up, it's hard work watching our midfield get bypassed game after game yet it's like fucking groundhog day every match.
We tried Ota. Failed. He was dropped.
We tried Fern. Failed. Still in the side.
I know there are other areas, but fundamentally it's the useless defence that has cost us points.
I am frustrated with the team sheet but I also know that when Laporte got injured I knew we would crumble. It's been hard to watch but it's really not Pep's fault or the replacement players. I am afraid that injuries are part and parcel of football. We have to accept our lot support our side and go on.
Aim to win every game and see where it takes us. We're still in my opinion the best club side in Europe. If you took VVD, or Salah out of Liverpool they'd be nowhere and they know it.
