Can't say I'm overly arsed about that.Not sure pep would agree
My issue with Otamendi and that first goal is that he doesn't either win the ball or commit the foul.
Naturally, if going to ground, then I'd much prefer him to win the fucking ball but if he can't do that then he has to commit the foul.
Do something, don't just dive in and tackle fresh air. That leaves us exposed and had he made the foul wolves don't score that goal.
It's his lack of doing absolutely anything that pisses me off.
If he is insistent on going to ground, which he shouldn't be doing, then get a result out of it.
I'm really not arsed if that means a foul and a red card when it prevents a goal.

And then be another central defender down for 3 games? Dont give up the day job
I'll take that all day everyday and twice on Sunday if it means it gets Garcia or HWB a game. They proved against Preston they're capable, and let's be honest wolves CF wasnt exactly Thierry henry and traore had scored once in 72 games prior to Saturday so not exactly prolific!

We’d have won that Preston match if you played at centre half.
when laporte injury happened the whole ground went silent and the fans knew it was a big blow if we lose him this season
talk about bad timing or sods law or lady luck ?? but in liverpool they was smiling because we did not sign a defender to cover anything like a long term injury in the defence, ok we had cover but nothing like for like, liverpool have been so lucky in not losing key players and even if they did not win the league last season they push us all the way because of the lack of injuries
but we must get on with it and not panic buying when kompany left was right because selling clubs was asking daft prices just look at maguire value crazy, so please laporte get well soon and come back stronger and ping them cross field passes to walker

FFS it was Preston.
The pining on here to have kids playing in this team is absolutely baffling.
It"s almost like he knows the player is going to go past him before he actually does and doesn"t know what to do. Strange for an experienced defender.My issue with Otamendi and that first goal is that he doesn't either win the ball or commit the foul.

I wouldn't mind but it's not as if the Wolves player did anything. It was, quite simply, embarrassingly bad defending.

Indeed.
It's been a trait throughout his career.
You have a much higher success rate in terms of winning a duel when you stay on your feet.
He's been a full on brain fart this season. I believe he is a much better player than the version we are currently getting and that it is a problem when we consider that Laporte is out.
In a good squad, those who don't play every game have to step up and he hasn't done that so far.
That said, I think it is right to persevere in the hope he can return to the form he had 2 seasons ago

Been saying this since the game. Might as well have just pulled him back

What made his senseless action worse was that it left Fernandinho havign to try to cover the man with the ball, forcing him to leave Traore open. If Otamendi stays on his feet and tries to shepherd his man out wide or slow him down. Fern is still able to cover Traore.Been saying this since the game. Might as well have just pulled him back

Hurry up back Aymeric, we're missing you desperately..!

Last year Van Dijk didn't get injured. That was where Liverpool were lucky. However, Gomez was on a great run then broke his leg against Burnley. Lovren proceeded to get injured and then Matip which left Liverpool shoehorning Fabinho in as a Centre Back for a few weeks.
Laporte is class and was a leader at the back. Once injured coupled with Kompany leaving things were going to be a bit shaky there. Norwich really exposed City and highlighted Laporte's absence but still had to score 3 to win. Against Wolves I'm not sure what happened. Granted, the defence was all over the place but it doesn't explain why there were no goals the other end. KDB was missing and is also world class but he was missing for most of last season and that had f-all impact.

I have a feeling that was largely just Scouse mythology, and Fabinho actually played just twice at centre half (and one of those was away at Wolves in the cup, where they fielded a deliberately weakened team anyway).
Last season Bernardo was a great substitute for Bernardo. Against Wolves he didn't start and the midfield that did was unable to do what KDB and Bernardo did. Not surprising. These are two of the best players in the world. David used to be up there too. I don't think he is any more.Last year Van Dijk didn't get injured. That was where Liverpool were lucky.

Look we gifted Norwich 2 goals, there was no exposing of our defence, that's the top and bottom line of it.Last year Van Dijk didn't get injured. That was where Liverpool were lucky.

I agree
The 3rd knocked the stuffing out of everyone.
Dont concede that and I believe we would have gone on to win
The videos of him doing leg extensions? Took me a while to find them as I don't use Instagram. Looks promising.Big man has some shots on his Instagram of him in the gym!
