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.

I like Grujic, but... by NDMike2001

I really can’t imagine a scenario where I have him in my midfield with the options they have. As you stated Hendo and Gini can play the 6. Yes Grujic is more of a classic DM than any of the other midfielders (and Fab of course). But I’d just as soon work a double pivot with my options (including Keita and Milner). And if I’m really getting to the point where I’m considering Grujic as my DM, I’m gonna probably go back to Fab and bring Nat Phillips to back up Matip and Gomez.

Of course the real scare is that Matip is almost always struggling with some lingering injury.

I will say this, Klopp always has contingency plans. But there really isn’t one for a long absence by VVD. They just went from an elite team to a good team.
