I hold FSG responsible for a lot of our downfalls but Klopp makes some baffling decisions at times.
After Mignolet putting in a typical Mignolet performance at Spurs, he rewards him by making him captain against West Ham. What was that all about? If you asked all Liverpool supporters whether they want to proceed with Mignolet as our number 1 going forward then I'll be gobsmacked if more than 20% said yes. What sort of message does it send out to Karius too? You know, the goalie Jürgen actually wanted and signed himself?
I appreciate Klopps man management skills but sometimes he just needs to be ruthless. Mignolet shouldn't be in our current starting 11 and he certainly shouldn't be any part of our future. Each season he costs us 3, 4 maybe 5 games whereas the likes of de gea probably wins United that same amount.
Likewise with Lovren. After his performance against Spurs that should have been it for him. He shouldn't play for us again but klopp had him pencilled in to start against Huddersfield the following game? Luckily for us, he was injured in the warm up.
The point being, how many more chances is Klopp going to give both Mignolet and Lovren? They aren't the only two by the way, there are a couple more too, but they are our biggest culprits when it comes to giving points away and costing us games.
I love Klopps methods and I love his style of football but if he persists with those two clowns then he will be nailing his own coffin shut. They will, yet again, cost us games at some point this season and that will be solely down to Klopp. I'm worried it'll be in the champions league where there is little or no time to make amends. One mistake and you're out the competition.
We saw how ruthless he can be with Sakho, who, in my opinion, is head and shoulders above Lovren in every sense. Now it's time to be ruthless with others too. Only half of our starting 11 currently is title winning standard. A few of them can play a role within the squad. A few of them just need F***ing off ASAP.
