You are in a precarious position, top of the league but with City and Spurs breathing down your necks you can't really afford to drop points.

You paid good money for 2 potential midfield superstars but you can't afford to play them in critical games as they aren't quite up to the pace yet so you continue to play the bang average ones instead as better the devil you know.

It certainly is a dilemma for Klopp.

The position hasn't changed? It's exactly the same squad who put us 4 points clear at the top thus far? Underperforming "Superstars", who should get better, and "Bang Average" players who went 20 games unbeaten.

The vulnerability is with potential injuries, per the current CB situation.

We're in the title race. I fully expect City to win it but it's nice to be up there again.

Gary Cahill on loan ?

its happening or are you asking people if they think its a good idea?

We wont bring anyone in for me for CB - Matip is 2 games away and gomez about 3/4 -
Fab will play the role

Sorry yes was asking, was talking to a buddy of mine who was convinced it was happening.

[m3sye]

I'd be surprised after what he said about a short term fix and with Matip and Lovren back so quick

Although never say never

His experience would be welcome

I'd say a precarious position would be 17th and 4 points above the drop zone, not where we are.

Would you like to trade places?

Precarious as in you can't really afford to drop too many points if you want to win the league (which I assume you do). Are people always so sensitive in this thread?

Wouldn't be a bad signing. He's won more PL titles than Liverpool......

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Its not exactly a disastrous position to be in is it? I mean I admire your wishful thinking but I will think he'll be OK

(provided we beat Brighton and stop the rot)

Nope not at all. My point was simply that you have two players you paid quite a bit of money for who I'd imagine you were hoping to get in the side sooner rather than later to add a bit more quality and\or options to your midfield but at the moment you can't afford to risk giving them the game time they need to get up to speed because of where you are in the league but as usual it's snowflake central in here.

we have the Very slight safety net of being able to lose 1 game and still be top. So hopefully we wont start looking over our shoulder every match and heaping the Pressure on ( And hopefully no mid-field Huddles From Stevie G )

Lets not forget we have also played City twice, been away to Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal,

Spurs still have City away, Chelsea away

Do you know what a snowflake is? His reply was just saying things could be a lot worse - not him being hurt or getting angry etc. We're still not expecting to win the league, far too long to go. Many of the "oh, you're so sensitive" replies you lot highlight are nothing to do with being hurt etc. It's just you portray them that way to have a few giggles.

I was a bit shocked with the snowflake comment myself, Adam is always calm

Guv likes to try 'subtly' wum though, this was shown when we went out of the cup and he made it out to be something we should go for when a little search on here shows him saying he wants Spurs out of the cups (when they were going for the league with Leicester)

well I don't get called sensitive often,
so thanks!

I don't think anyone can really afford to drop points, not this season.

[jammy-git]

Exactly. The race for the top is more competitive than it has ever been between the teams.

The race for top four is also very competitive between more teams than there's ever been.

No one can afford to drop points.

[Flip Martian]

So being 4 points clear at the top is precarious. What wouldn't be precarious then? 6 points clear? 7? 12?! It's January FFS, anything can happen. I'd rather be precariously at the top of the table by 4 PRECARIOUS points than be elsewhere right now...
