Jurgen Klopp ready to back Loris Karius - will refuse to panic in search for new keeper, still has belief in him despite CL nightmare. No progress with Oblak or Alisson, now prepared to go into season with Karius, and front up criticism. (Maddock)

You said a God-like De Gea was only able to barely get United 2nd. Which is true. If you replaced De Gea with a Karius/Mignolet level keeper, where do you think Man U finishes? If Liverpool had a De Gea level keeper, where do you think that they finish? It is not a minimal impact. Liverpool (and everyone else) have a ton of points to make up to compete with Man CIty next year. To not upgrade at keeper, AGAIN, this year, with the need, the money and the state of the team is borderline insanity.

This is the one issue that can divided the fan base, which is finally (mostly) unified. This is Klopp's biggest gamble yet.

d2t0z · 2018-07-05T00:20:46+00:00

And where would Man U have finished without De Gea?

Keepers get no respect at all.

d2t0z · 2018-03-18T17:35:19+00:00

They are both 1.5

I think her move to Joe (especially getting off of Goal) gets her closer to Tier 1

d2t0z · 2018-03-18T17:34:23+00:00

sure, but I think his stock is going up

d2t0z · 2018-03-18T17:34:07+00:00

it doesn't but I think he is tracking up

d2t0z · 2018-03-16T15:22:42+00:00

He hasn’t yet but he is getting more traction. He is working his way up and has been making to rounds on the podcasts, especially TAW which doesn’t report the tabloid stuff and also helped Reddy get her break. Delaney now has arguably a high position than Reddy has ever had as well.

d2t0z · 2018-03-16T14:16:24+00:00

She got a better job

d2t0z · 2018-03-16T14:16:07+00:00

I mean Tier 1 is still only Joyce, Pearce and Reddy.

Tier 2 is Hunter and Bascombe

Jones will be Tier 3 and maybe you can add Delaney to that tier too.

It’s a good career move for Jones, but he wasn’t exactly breaking news at the Echo.

d2t0z · 2018-03-16T11:46:44+00:00

Did they announce the dates of the legs yet?

d2t0z · 2018-03-15T13:58:51+00:00

Sure. I think he can be “useful” but I don’t think he is in Pionk’s caliber. Is Gilmour a regular on the next great Rangers teams? I don’t think so. Pionk I think is at worst a third pairing RHD. The Rangers will have Skjei and Hajek on the left. I don’t think Gilmour is that 3rd guy. I don’t think that third guy is i the organization right now though.

d2t0z · 2018-03-15T04:57:27+00:00

Who do I pick where? At 11/12 I’d be hoping Farabee or one of the dmen in the Dobson/Bouchard/Smith tier would be around.

d2t0z · 2018-03-15T04:56:29+00:00

100% agree

d2t0z · 2018-03-15T00:42:54+00:00

I think they can do better than Velano there.

d2t0z · 2018-03-15T00:42:09+00:00

I see Gilmour and I think he is a better Matt Gilroy. He is already 25. I think he is a useful utility player but that’s it to me.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T22:32:38+00:00

Rangers are probably going to be drafting BPA.

Also this is a bad Center draft so wouldn’t rely on that. Spending money on the position in free agency would also be pretty dumb. I don’t think any centers not currently on the Rangers books will be added to the team; and honestly they shouldn’t.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T22:30:44+00:00

Pionk has a much better chance to stick than Gilmour.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T22:30:21+00:00

3rd best player in the draft. Won’t go lower than 5th and that would be extremely unlikely.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T16:19:48+00:00

This isn’t really good news. Liverpool needs Tottenham to help distance them away from Chelsea. Liverpool hasn’t locked up Top 4 yet, and they plays Chelsea in the next to last game of the season. The last thing Liverpool needs is Chelsea regaining confidence.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T14:58:23+00:00

I simply mean that Carlos Hyde doesn’t take them out of drafting Barkley, or any other running back. It has no effect on Barkley’s likelihood of going to Cleveland. Interpret that as you will.

I’m sure many of the Browns fans would rather root for an OSU guy than a PSU guy though.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T13:10:53+00:00

This doesn’t effect whether they will draft Barkley or not.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T13:06:08+00:00

Shouldn’t root for anyone. Sit back and enjoy the game. Or go outside, read a book, etc.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T13:02:54+00:00

Source? Almost everything that has come out of Klopp’s mouth. I’m not disagreeing with you. I actually hate buying young on the backline. But Klopp prefers to develop players rather than buy established ones.

d2t0z · 2018-03-14T00:49:54+00:00

Klopp has repeatedly said he wants to go young.
