Liverpool’s defence has not recovered since the departure of Jamie Carragher.
Last term, the Reds conceded 48 goals, having shipped 50 the season before.
Seventeen games into this campaign, they have already conceded 22 goals. At this pace, Liverpool will give up around 27 more goals this season, putting them close to the 50 mark again.
The defensive issue has not been solved. Will Klopp put an end to the misery?
One of my favorite quotes from Andrea Pirlo’s autobiography, I Think, Therefore I Play, goes, “If I was a president (of a club), I’d never build a team of champions up front with dummies in defence. That’s just deceitful advertising designed to fool the fans.”
Who will be Mamadou Sakho’s centre-back partner for the future?
