This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's certainly looking more and more likely. by NDMike2001
That being said, Liverpool are down to their last two defenders. If Vigil went down they have a couple 17 y/o and a 22 y/o that they just recalled from loan who wasn't getting time in Bundesliga 2. But they need bodies. Most likely Henderson or Wijnaldum are the backup CBs. And that would be robbing Peter to pay Paul, because they only have two senior backups at midfield (Lallana and Milner) with Ox and Fabinho out.
It's very likely that Liverpool will play six more games before they Lovren, Matip, Ox and/or Fabinho come back. Then Champions League picks back up.
It's about this time last year when Liverpool dropped points in 5 out of 7 matches - with a 9 point lead. And they were relatively healthy. The league is simply a grind.
