Klopp boleh menolak Gomez dengan melepaskan raksasa remaja Kirkby yang “tidak boleh dipercayai” – pendapat

Perlawanan terbaharu Liverpool dalam Liga Perdana menawarkan sinaran matahari pada apa yang kelihatan seperti penghujung ribut, tetapi angin ribut telah melanda Anfield sekali lagi berikutan perpecahan pertahanan yang mengerikan menentang Real Madrid yang telah mengingatkan kelab betapa dalam luka berjalan.

Di pusat malang sekali lagi ialah pemain pertahanan Joe Gomez, yang diisytiharkan mempunyai ‘permainan mutlak’ oleh satu sumber di Twitter, yang menambah barisan paparan panas yang tidak sihat semasa tekanan yang semakin meningkat terhadap persembahan Liverpool.

Dan tanpa sebarang jeda untuk pemain antarabangsa England itu, pengurus Jurgen Klopp kini mesti mempertimbangkan langkah kurang ajar untuk menawarkan prospek akademi Billy Koumetio tempat tetap dalam skuad senior sambil dia terus memikirkan formula paling bertuah untuk kejayaan musim ini .

Pada kemuncaknya, Gomez adalah komponen penting dalam sistem Liverpool yang dahulunya berkuasa, bermain 28 perlawanan Liga Perdana semasa kempen The Reds menjuarai Liga Perdana Inggeris pada 2019/20, tetapi terlalu kerap dia didorong ke dalam kekotoran musim ini, gagal untuk dipancarkan. keyakinan dan ketenangan pada saat-saat yang pasti.

His horror show against Los Blancos left him with a woeful match rating of 5.8, as per Sofascore, with the 5-2 home defeat shockingly the eighth time Liverpool have conceded at least three goals in a single match this term.

With Koumetio continuing to ply his trade for the U21 outfit, it might now be time to offer him the stage to demonstrate why he deserves a spot in Klopp’s squad.

Who is Billy Koumetio?

Koumetio has been a regular presence in Liverpool’s academy set-up over the past several years, making 41 appearances for the U21 side and 21 displays for the U18 team.

Lauded for one resounding and “ridiculous” goal by Irish newspaper Balls.ie, the Kirkby colossus played 45 minutes against Leicester City in a Carabao Cup tie last season, also playing against FC Midtjylland in the Champions League the preceding year, where he forged three interceptions and seven clearances.

The 20-year-old is left-footed and as such would not occupy the predominantly right-sided role that Gomez holds, with the former Charlton Athletic star also capable of playing as a full-back when called upon, but given Liverpool’s requirement for central defensive reinforcements, Koumetio could indeed fit the bill.

Bekas pemain antarabangsa Perancis Bawah 20 itu juga telah digambarkan sebagai “tidak boleh dipercayai” pada masa lalu oleh Pep Lijnders, dan mempunyai purata 1.5 interceptions dan empat clearance setiap perlawanan, juga memenangi 2.5 aerial setiap perlawanan, semasa kerjaya awal Liverpool, dia boleh ditawarkan pukulan. untuk menarik perhatian di mana rakan-rakan seniornya telah gagal.

Meninggalkan Gomez yang mantap untuk Koumetio sememangnya satu tindakan yang berani, tetapi memandangkan situasi semasa The Reds, adalah jelas bahawa perubahan perlu dibuat, dan sementara Klopp dan rakan sekerja sudah pasti akan meningkatkan kedudukan musim panas ini, mengubah keadaan dengan kemasukan prospek yang menjanjikan mungkin hanya membuahkan hasil.
