I have no concept of injuries? Yet I was was right with when Ox would be back playing when there was talk of him returning in February... Okay then.
Wow!!... So you guested one right By the way; I was right when I said Gomez could suffer a setback... 1-1
So someone says that we should have started Firmino, which in all likelihood would then mean him playing with the intention of lasting a minimum of say 70 minutes. A player who is ruled out of one game, and then a doubt going into the next game, due to a groin injury, isn't going to be starting it because of the increased chances of the injury being made worse. You don't start a game with one player and then take him off after about 15/20mins, you end the game with him playing that amount of time. At the end of the game the opposition will be more tired and should therefore be less effort needed when chasing them down, hassling them etc. Start a player with a slight injury doubt and he will have less chance against the opposition and less chance of getting through without making it worse. Clearly I do have concept of injuries because otherwise Klopp would have started Bobby, wouldn't he? and he wouldn't be listed as a doubt again for Newcastle, would he?
Many would argue that if that was the case you would not risk playing the player full stop, and instead use another player.
Regardless of the pace of the game Firmino could have exacerbated the injury in that last 15 or the first 70 minutes...
You are basing your argument on the premise that the game would have slowed on both teams due to fatigue and acceptance of the scoreline when in fact Firmino would have been expected to produce a higher level of work to try and rescue the tie...
Come back to me when you've fu**ed the ACL in both knees more than once, had bad advice about playing again which has led to needing more surgery on it, when you've torn your groin and when you split your kneecap in half. I'd comfortably wager on it that I know a damn sight more about injuries than you
Muppet.
You do realize that insulting people does not make your point any more valid do you...?
Or maybe you don't...
If it was the case that AOC was not fit, then why risk him vs Huddersfield...? And before you claim "To give him some match fitness" of test him, is that not what the reserve games are for..?
Klopp is damned regardless what decision he made regarding Bobby. He could have started Bobby and played him over an hour and made the injury worse and missed the rest of the season, but instead he chose a risk period of about 15mins at the end of the game to try and claw a goal or 2 back and not ruin Bobby's season. Either way, there's people like you and the clown across the water who are never happy either way because everything is just black and white for you guys.
You believe yourself a better supporter than other because you never question anything that a manager does or does not do...?
It is you who seeing everything in black and white, evident by this post
