As expected, Klopp will target improving Liverpool's defense. Same thing he did upon arrival at Dortmund. Prior to his first season, Dortmund allowed 62 goals in the league. In his first season he got that down to 37 goals. And during his third season when he won his first league, that figure was down to 22.

Clearly, in a gegenpressing philosophy, defensive discipline is hugely important. And right now, the only truly disciplined member of our CB rotation is Mamadou Sakho.

Ilkay Gundogan is actually performing very well right now. Highest rated player on Dortmund over season average. He did struggle a bit against Bayern, I do admit. But he knows Klopp's style and fits the system. I just really don't think Klopp is going to poach Dortmund players. Too much respect for that club.

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
