Ah, the game that has proven Klopp's naivety and foolish decision making beyond doubt. He was poor in his decisions in the last game, and utterly stupid today.
No-one in their right mind would have subbed Sturridge at half time today. Firmino has been poor the whole season, but gets to play regardless. Meanwhile Danny misses one difficult chance, and he's dumped. It's ridiculous. It's stupidity. What does Firmino do with his own half of football? Nothing better. Just proving the naivety of the substitution.
Gomez for Arnold? That was a game changer. Fine, we went with 3 at the back at times, but nothing happened from it. Robertson was still mostly at the back.
Then Origi?
I had forgotten we had him. What was he going to do?
It was clear as day that the problems were the flow of the ball from midfield. Get some changes in there. Get some urgency in the team and see what happens. Instead, we had poor changes in personnel, and no change in the quality of football.
For those here laughably criticising Sturridge for that one chance, Mane and Salah wasted far more, bigger opportunities, and Firmino was MIA. There you go.
