Dr. Gonzo Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45220161 On the one hand, Lovren has done 0 first team training and I think Klavan’s our 3rd best defender. On the other hand, he wants first team football and I don’t blame him... and Cagliari’s my favourite Italian side.
Rick Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Bit stupid this. It's not like we have a ton of quality after VVD and the injured Lovren.
LFCMike Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah bit short at CB although sounds like Klavan wants first team football. Was ok as a fourth choice. Generally reliable when called upon.
LFCMike Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Just now, Cannabis said: Isn't Klavan really, really shite? We've had far worse
Rick Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Van Dijk, Lovren (who has a muscle issue), Gomez & (Mr.Glass) Matip as our senior players at CB. That's a bit annoying really.
Burning Gold Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I think Klavan had fallen to 6th in the centre half pecking order behind VVD, Matip, Gomez, Lovren, and Nat Phillips. I can see the logic in selling him if that's the case, although for the sake of £2m, I'd have preferred us to keep him around.

Probably not consistent enough to be a regular starter at our level, but good enough for mid-table or below I'd say. Good depth for us, but not someone I'd want us starting week in and week out. Certainly good enough for Cagliari's scrap at the bottom of the Serie A.

Yeah I think Nat Phillips impressed Klopp quite a bit, which led to Klavan falling in the pecking order. Honestly, Matip is made of glass, Gomez has had 2 very bad injuries, and Lovren's got his own little injury issues... so I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. I'd rather have sold Matip tbh. Done deal btw: https://www.cagliaricalcio.com/news/ultimissime/17718/ragnar-klavan-al-cagliari
Rick Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Why is Matip still here? Has got progressively worse with every injury.
Dave Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 For Liverpool to move forwards, they can't carry players like Klavan.
