You have to admire Carragher's punditry though. "Got to intercept the cross even if it ends with you putting the ball into your own goal". Just substitute "even" with "because" and you have a fair summary of Carragher's defensive technique in identical situations.

It’s poor coaching from us, in the set-up. He’s the most one footed player I’ve seen, 99/100 you’re defending an inswinging free kick in that scenario so why is he first man?

The whole thing was brainless.

[Kansti]

Kinda feels serious discussion is needed. Put aside that brainfart moment, which by all means is criminal. He moves so slowly across the pitch. It’s like Milner’s last season with us. Horrendously slow. We need an upgrade.

[naYoRHa2b]

I just don't get that "decision" to refuse to play the ball because you'd be using your weak foot, who does that? It should just be instinctive to cut it out. He had moments at the back where his brain was just not in gear, see's the winger running in behind and doesn't track him till the ball has been played, stuff like that leaves you scratching your head. Can't rely on Tsimikas either as he's even more incompetent at times with his decisions. You see his mistakes coming five seconds before he does.

We should be thinking about the future at LB, but I don't think his drop off is as dramatic as others. We'll probably sign a 19/20 year old LB next summer. Maybe we'll be keeping an eye on Kerkez.

I think we need better than that, when his legs go he’ll lose almost all his effectiveness.

[Caps4444]

One of most infuriating things in football is professional, elite level footballers point blank refusing to use their weak foot in any circumstances.

Riise v Chelsea comes to mind

[HeartAndSoul]

He’s been awful for a little while now with a couple of decent performances on between. The amount of times he leaves space in behind by pressing like a headless chicken is madness. He needs upgrading on especially in this new back 3

Yeah don't understand it at all. Maybe it's a pro thing because at our shit local Sunday league level, I've yet to come across a player refusing to play a ball on their weaker foot, in fact, quite the opposite when you want them to just leave it!

[Draex]

He needs to improve, been months of a form drop with the odd good performance thrown in. We aren't even playing him as a lcb anymore so no real excuse.

Such a basic error for their goal which are becoming more and more common.

I dont think he was awful last week...or against West Ham. Or Wolves...or Villa.

Sure, today was a wild misjudgement. But to make out like it was the norm, is unfair.

That last minute own goal still haunts me. I think we will have been victorious against United in Moscow.

I don't think he's awful, but he's a weak link. Robbo's decline is similar to Hendo, as his best attribute was his athleticism and relentless energy. Once that starts to wane, he becomes more of a liability. How often have we seen him charging out in an attempt to make an interception or force a turnover, only for him to be sidestepped completely leaving space for forwards to capitalise on? I am surprised Klopp hasn't demanded Robbo to cut that out from his game. Its stupid, rash and his attempts are hugely unsuccessful.

Personally, I think he just needs a rest, mentally and physically. I am confident he's going to come back stronger. Just looking exhausted nowadays.

[MD1990]

He has played well at times.
But he had a week off he looks alot slower now. Most wingers look to have the beating off him.

In general we have a bit of an issue playing a high line I feel

[PhilV]

Robbo needs to kick back onto his previous standards, that switch off for their second goal is inexcusable.

[Draex]

He is getting rest though, Kostas is playing all the EL games.

[Chakan]

Injured in his international match, had to come off.

Yay international football.

Bad one? Absolute joke

[Benimar Col]

looks like a possible dislocated right shoulder, hopefully it popped back in, sore as fcuk, I know all about it

[RedBec1993]

He’ll be out a while if it’s that!

[Dazzer23]

Even if that’s the case, it will be several weeks out

What's not to love eh?

Depends how bad it is, it can take months.

[Kashinoda]

Yep don't expect him back for months, great.

[Zlen]

Great start to the fucking international break.

[MonsLibpool]

Depends how bad it is, it can take months.

Mo was back within a few weeks. He win't be 100% for a while though.

[Kashinoda]

Mo was back within a few weeks. He win't be 100% for a while though.

Mo was rushed back early to play the World Cup, he was visibly still carrying it.

[DelTrotter]

Lovely, expecting Bielsa to have wrecked Darwin by the end of the break too.

[MonsLibpool]

Mo was rushed back early to play the World Cup, he was visibly still carrying it.

He had a bandage on his shoulder for a few months. It's possible to be back within a month but Robbo won't be 100%.

[StL-Dono]

Not great news obviously no matter how long he's out, but I'm half expecting to hear from Greece that Tsimikas has a knock that keeps him on the sidelines too.     

Okay.  I admit I can be a bit of a pessimist. 

[TepidT2O]

Oh FFS

[Mister Flip Flop]

Sick to the back teeth of international football 

[killer-heels]

Time for Kostas to prove he is good enough.

[AnfieldRD19]

Guess we'll have to rely on Kostas to fill in. Or we switch to a back 3 and go with 4 in the middle

[Fordy]

FFS!!

[RedG13]

Hope He recovers quickly and it not super seroius.
Hope Chambers or Scanlon get a chance in Cup or Europe games.

[Zizou]

Looks like this is really gonna Kostas long term.

[oojason]

From the Euro 2024 thread...


Looks like Robertson has dislocated his shoulder. Subbed off at 44 minutes in Scotland vs Spain.

Spain's GK Simon wiped Robbo out when coming for a cross and seemed to land on him after too. Ref gave Spain a freekick for it.


Video of the injury: https://v.redd.it/o9hrpbnlzttb1 & www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/176gjjy/video_of_robbos_injury

[Benimar Col]

Time for Kostas to prove he is good enough.

if he’s ever been put under undue pressure to fill the left back position, hopefully now he can get comfort in knowing he hast a few games and a decent run to show his capabilities.

ever the optimist, not this time though  my 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 are crossed tho

[Too early for flapjacks?]

At least Tsimikas won't be coming in cold as he's played the Europa League and League Cup games.
