re: tOfficial Liverpool 2020/2021 Thread: Champions of England

A high press isn’t unique to Klopp. Gomez and Matip could get hurt walking up stairs, VVD suffered a contact injury, and the guys that are doing all of the sprinting in the press- the midfielders, forwards, and fullbacks, have been remarkably healthy under Klopp. A Real Madrid side with world class players were harassed all over the pitch into mistakes last night.

I get it’s fun to point and laugh at Liverpool, but few clubs in Europe would even be where we are now if they were relying on 5th and 6th choice centerbacks and had started 19 different CB partnerships over the course of a season. We’ve had historically bad injury luck and the season slipped away. It’s easy to forget we were top of the table until the injuries started snowballing at one position. We’ll go again next august with a few fresh faces and the best defender on the planet back in the middle of the defense. Get the laughs in while you can
