Admittedly it was not here, but in a previous forum Klopp would get criticized for bringing his subs in too late. Klopp can't win when the internet warriors just simply know better, huh.
Well this old "Internet Warrior has never criticized Klopp for the timing of his substitutions, you simply have me mistaken with someone else... I have also defended Klopp and the Lack of options and quality on the bench... The point which I have raised here are my only real criticism of Klopp
When you have a 2-goal lead Klopp (any coach) has every right to take out a forward and put in an extra defender for the last few minutes of the game. A world-class strike from Nainggolan and a bullshit PK call does not change that fact.
But not when it has cost us time and time again, Make a like for like substitution...Bournemou
th 4-3, wee were leading 3-1 Klopp takes of and attack (Mane) and although not a defender (Lallana) we lose 4-3...
Bournemouth again last season 2-2... 2-1 up and bossing the game Joel Matip takes the place of Philippe Coutinho and we concede a goal...
Savilla17/18,3-3, 3-2 up and a ...
Chelsea 17/18 1-0 up. midfielder for a striker and Chelsea makes it 1-1
Watford 17/18 3-3... 3-2 up and again and midfielder for an attacker, Salah makes way for Milner. and Watford scores
And West Brom 17/18 2-1 up we take off Salah and bring on Lovren
Salah has started 54 games this season (across all comps) compared to 33 last year and 38 the year before. Mane has started 45, compared to 31 last year and 33 the year before. In your game console that may not make a difference, but in reality those are a lot of minutes on those legs and Klopp realizes the job is not done and we need them ready to battle on Sunday and needs to get them every minute of rest he sensibly can.
No one is not saying that players need the rest, they get tied, but FFS replace like for like... You have Ings and Solanke on the bench, so even if the are not doing that well they are still Strikers F***ing use them... By not using then you are allowing one or two of their back four to get in on the attack...
What so hard to understand..?? Or maybe things work different when you use the cheats on your games console..?
