That's my point though. Jürgen has been complaining about a small squad and injury problems late in the season for 2.5 years now. Either he messed up by not bringing in more bodies, or the owners are to blame for not giving him the money. This isn't a new problem, and it's a joke a club of our size and stature has to fill the bench with U23 players in a CL semifinal.
No, no he has not. Stop making dumb sh*t up.
At the time of the Coutinho sale, Can and Ox were healthy and Lallana was almost back to full fitness, with Jürgen more or less saying he'd be like a new signing after missing the entire first half. When the January transfer window closed there were no concerns about squad depth by Klopp. Any team who loses 3 starter-quality midfielders will feel the pain, especially if you're also making a deep run in the CL all the way to the finals, and no team can carry 7-8 quality midfielders to make people like you happy, mainly because those 7th and 8th options are not going to come to a team knowing they're not going to play unless half the players in their position go down to injuries.
If you took 3 midfielders out of any City or United or Spurs, their bench would look dire as well.
