Here's hoping, but he has been prone to disappearing for stretches.Coutinho is going to have a monster year.
Injuries .. I would like to point out Liverpool were missing their starting Keeper and two CBs. Both Sakho and Matip would be first choice in all likelihood over Klavan and Lovren. That being said Pool's main defensive problem is Moreno .. for which there's no current replacement.Well the one thing I learned from today's matches is that both Liverpool and Arsenal (at least they had injuries I guess) are horrendous at the back.
This is a wide wide open race for Europe. If anyone in the top 12 can pull a 2016 Leicester and actually defend well they have a shot at the top 6, maybe 4.
Fair, I thought Klavan and Lovren were going to be the starters.Injuries .. I would like to point out Liverpool were missing their starting Keeper and two CBs.

Klavan has been a pleasant surprise and may very well end up first choice .. But Lovren is behind Sakho, Matip and Klaven methinks.Fair, I thought Klavan and Lovren were going to be the starters.
Honestly though I think both sides aren't very good in defense anyway. I think there are going to be a ton of goals this year, West Ham, Man City, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, all look much better attacking than defending.
Couldn't find my way back to a computer this weekend but I wanted to respond to this. I don't think that's really fair at all. Everton were the far more threatening side throughout the first half and generated enough on their own in addition to Spurs mistakes. It wouldn't have been unfair for Spurs to have taken it but I thought the teams played quite even with Spurs having the better of it after their tactical shift late.This is really a game Spurs should have won. They've thoroughly controlled the second half, and even in the first half when they played well Everton weren't generating much, really just capitalizing on Tottenham mistakes.
He definitely should have gotten one either way, that's a late tackle on a field player, on a goalkeeper it's even worse.I wonder if Costa doesn't get one earlier if he gets one there, seems like it should have been a yellow. Nice to see Hazard get a goal early even if it was a PK. Wall lucky for West Ham there as well hit two arms on the way in I've seen a PK given for less in a wall.
Yeah this ref is not good, if you don't want to give a second yellow, why bother giving early yellows. Totally ruins the whole point of the early yellow.And now Kante commits another bookable offense, no second yellow.
Taylor is a hack.
