A Jurgen Klopp choice within the heart of the Liverpool defence has caused one pundit to insist a January exit makes all the experience in the international.
One year in the past, Liverpool had been inside the midst of a debilitating damage crisis at centre-1/2. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip had been all long-term absentees through injury. That precipitated the January arrivals of Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies because the Reds muddled thru to the season’s end with a makeshift backline.
Fast ahead to the modern and Liverpool’s centre-lower back corps is the healthiest factor of Klopp’s squad.
Aided by the summer time addition of Ibrahima Konate, Klopp now has a humiliation of riches in the function.
Inevitably, someone’s recreation-time ought to be reduce, and so far this season the abnormal man out has been Joe Gomez.
The 24-yr-vintage has accrued a paltry 12 mins of league action this term. That has led to the Daily Express to claim Konate and Joel Matip to both be ahead of Gomez in the pecking order in Klopp’s eyes, with Van Dijk the undisputed No1 choice.
In current weeks, speculation has ramped up Gomez will be moved on in January. Aston Villa had been related, even as the Express state Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is a ‘massive fan’ from his time at Everton.
However, Klopp moved to quash any murmurings of unrest with Gomez. Furthermore, he these days insisted no loan offers would be sanctioned in January.
Nonetheless, speakme to Football Insider, pundit Frank McAvennie has claimed a Gomez go out in reality makes best sense.
