Apologies if already posted.

Given VDs performances this season, his injury might actually improve their defence...

Yep. He's been the weakest link in their defensive chain for a long time. Slow to react to what is happening around him, consistently loses his man and tactically very limited.
As you say, they will be better without him - not a great deal better, mind.

Brahms and Lists.

Ah right, is that on the same strip as the Hole in the Wall? La Paz?

Van Dijk's hamstring injury could mean a 2-3 month layoff.

With a non-entity of a midfield and a defence that has always heavily relied on VVD, I can see them sliding further down the table.

What a shame.

No doubt this will be blamed on that pesky dirty oil money.

Spitty and his £200m comment last night followed by "Liverpool have been sell one to buy one but they need to invest this time in a few players".

It's a fair comment. You look at 2021 when they bought Luis Diaz for £47m only after selling Taiwo Awoniyi for £8m. Or 2020 when they bought Jota and thiago for a combined £65m but only after they sold Dejan Lovren and Ovie Ejaria for £16m. Or 2018 when they bought Alison, Keira and Fabinho for £168m but only because they recouped £34m from Dominik Solanke and Danny Ward.

So clearly it’s a difficult financial balancing act especially when you factor in all the fucking bullshit!

Haha, indeed.

Liverpool have earnt over £3b in the last five years… that’s up there with City and United. Yet Klopp is always moaning about money.

Slight correction.

No Jordan Pickford! ;)

His leadership qualities will be missed. For his actual play, though; hmm. He's a shadow of the player he was a couple of years ago. Maybe the Pickford challenge, and the subsequent injury, had a longer lasting impact than we imagined.
