      He played really well last night.

      Has he been injured recently? I didn't think he had but seems strange that Klopp would of started Lucas ahead of him at Bournemouth?

      First off I also think Klavan played really well last night, and also second half against West Ham

      However I don't think it's strange per se that Klopp started Lucas against Bornemouth at that point

      Lucas had played cb 4 other times this season i think, and  we had won all four
      In those 4 like Bournemouth Klopp would expect us to have lots of the ball and I believe chose Lucas because of that and his more natural ability to come out with the ball and play the ball
      Also I think because Lucas is his most experienced player and well liked/inspirational around the group he wants to keep him involved

      Prior to Bournemouth as well Klavan wasn't great and had just played an international where he had shipped 8

      I don't think he will do it any time soon again if Klavan, Matip and Lovren continue to play well

      Klavan has an advantage over Lucas and also Lovren. He's a little more nippy on the ground. He's as good on the ball as Lovren.

      Good game, not sure why he doesn't get more opportunities to start. I feel like he reads the game better than Lovren, can play a ball as well. The fact that there's not a whole lot of difference between the two, then you look at their transfer fees....well.......

      Thought he was excellent. Stopped and intercepted everything. Covered for Milner's flank better than Lovren has thus far this season, who also did a good job.

      Excellent against the bitters, think Lukaku is still in his pocket.

      It's subtitled and I had to keep pausing to catch up, but this is a very good video about "Raku" that exposes his attitude as a professional. It's really moving to see someone get to the top through hard work, and enter the final stage of their career having earned a shot at the highest level of the game on merit, and merit alone.

      I don't particularly rate the guy. He was okay today. Positioning was a bit off but whatever.

       But what the fuckkkk was his tackle on Fellaini? Outrageous!! Can't have a scared viking at cb!

      Could have cost us a goal again today. Not good enough and we really need Matip back.

      You pay £3M for a senior player and it's what you expect, a player who is championship standard.

      Really the 5th best CB on the books getting way too much game time.

      I don't agree with your judging players by their price tag, but I agree with the sentiment. 
      Klavan's had some good games, but usually not when he's up against counter-attacking teams.

      Whatever Sakho has done or said, he's on our books and not playing.  Surely we can mend that bridge and get one of our best defenders back out there?

      Very, very odd. Said it at the time. You go to Estonia for a cheap stag weekend, nt for their 30 year old centre backs.

      My guess would be replacing Sakho on the cheap!
