Without the first choice centre backs, the defence looks decidedly shaky, an omen of what it will be like when VVD is finished. Unless we pull a first class replacement out of somewhere.
Quansah looked nervous and For me I reckon Gomez has already moved on in his head.
We looked particularly vunerable in the air i thought. In a way we've been spoiled in the Klopp era with the likes of Virgil, Konate and Matip, last night reminded me of 2 periods actually, it reminded me of that mid to late 90's dogs of war period before Sami Hyypia arrived and also the post Sami era where we had really good players like Carra, Agger, Skrtel but no real big man.
In both of those periods teams didnt have to be that creative to cause us major problems, we havent seen that for the best part of a decade but we got a glimpse of what the future might be like if the club arent switched on.
