A lot moaning on RAWK that they didn't buy to replace Mane.

I don't understand that mentality: who are you going to get and how much will you have to spend to replace him a player of similar quality that, presumably, they want to have the same effect, for what, 5-odd games? Then you just create squad congestion if you do manage to magic up this wonderful player.

Just suck it up. It happens. You can't buy someone for the short term like that, just as we shouldn't to cover Vertonghen's injury.

When Vertonghen was out last season plenty of posters on here were calling for us to dip in to the market to replace him

incredible, concede three goals in a single game and the issue is attacking options

I didn't see the game, were they as kamiaze at the back as they were against United last week?

if so Klopps defensive system makes Ossie's christmas tree look like catenaccio

it's slightly different thinking that way for an unexpected long term injury for a player you've had for a while and for one you've just signed who already had an Afcon on his calendar

Well they have claminho, llalana and Firminho plus of course they have origi and sturridge

There not weak squad wise just weak defensively and maybe aren't ft enough to last the season yet

I think a lot of is personnel. Klavan, Lovren and Clyne aren't very good.

It was a bit Keystone Cops combined with zonal marking that undid them.

Plus neither of their goals should have stood.

Yeah but it was you who brought up an injury layoff as a comparison to the ACN taking Mane away - I was just continuing along that path

Yes, because the time away (approx. 6 weeks) is comparable. I'd have thought that was pretty self-evident.

If it were to be 6 months for either Jan or Mane then it might be a consideration.
