da roleta： Liverpool’s defence was the best in the Premier League last season.
Their front three has been exceptional for some time now, but improvements at the back saw them step up to the next level as they finished second in the Premier League by just one point and became European champions.
However, their defence may be about to become a whole lot weaker if recent reports are to be believed.
What’s the story?
90min report that Joe Gomez is considering leaving Anfield due to his lack of gametime.

The centre-back has appeared in just three Premier League games this term, so it’s easy to sympathise with his frustrations.
Spurs and Arsenal are apparently interested in the 22-year-old, but Liverpool should do everything in their power to keep him.
Can’t let him go
Gomez is an incredibly talented young defender, and Liverpool can’t afford to let him go.
Just to show how good Gomez is, despite struggling with injuries over the past two years, Liverpool kept 11 clean sheets in the 16 league games he appeared in last term.

That’s a clean sheet rate of 68.75%, which is absolutely incredible.
Liverpool’s strength at the back is what catapulted them from being just a top four side to being genuine contenders at the highest levels, and if that is stripped back at all they may revert to where they once were.
If Gomez goes, that leaves the Reds with Dejan Lovren deputising for both Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk, and the proof is there to suggest Lovren isn’t good enough to be a key component for any team wanting to win silverware, as he was a part of a shaky backline that plagued Liverpool before van Dijk’s arrival.
Jurgen Klopp must make assurances to the former Charlton man about his gametime and his future at the club, because if he is allowed to leave the Anfield outfit may regret it for years to come.
