#3 Sherwood bemused by Liverpool sales

Liverpool let go of Clyne

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has expressed his bemusement at Liverpool letting Nathaniel Clyne go to Bournemouth on loan. The Reds didn’t sign anyone in the winter despite having quite a few injuries in defence – one of which was to Joe Gomez.

Sherwood praised the youngster and claimed that delaying his operation was a poor decision by the Reds’ camp before adding that letting go of Nathaniel Clyne was absurd – especially now that Trent Alexander-Arnold is out injured and there is no fit right-back at the club.

"They’ve picked up some injuries. [Losing] Joe Gomez [to injury] is a big blow for them,” Sherwood said.

"I thought he was outstanding and it looks like there’s been a mistake with his injury, they seem to have left it a month or so and they’ve said he’s got to have an operation. That is poor.

“To let Clyne go to Bournemouth is amazing for me. Why would you get rid of someone [you may need]? Trent Alexander-Arnold is injured as well so in the right-back area you really are struggling.”
