You could kind of live with a half-fit player if the back-up could effectively deputise. Gomez has shown to be totally inept. This is the way I am looking at Gvardiol and RB Leipzig costing £88m. We would get £70mfor Konate, now ou can see where I am going?Injuries are injuries, we have to accept it and move past it.....this is where a manager usually earns his pay check, finding solutions to pretty much problems you're guaranteed to face. 18 league games isn't great but it could be far worst, and we have experienced far worst.
If Klopp thought like you and wanted to get rid of a player any time they missed half the games....we'd have a 6 man squad.
Were you thinking of binning Virgil Matip and Gomez 2 summers ago?
