Baffling. Why not change for another body up top? F***ing sh*te sub that was
Even despite him getting an assist (for it to not count), it still makes no sense when you have Ings, who okay isn't anything special, he will at least have a lot of movement up top and gives them something else to think about.
Going defender for defender makes me think TAA was getting a bit tired and Klopp was then more focused on a clean sheet than getting another body in attack.
Ultimately, the position we are in, we have no chance of 1st and next to no chance of 2nd either IMO, 3rd if we are very lucky. In this position, there isn't much difference by 1 point and 0 points. When you fail to beat a team like WBA, at home, in a game you should comfortably get 4,5,6 goals, a draw feels just the same as a defeat to me. So why not just sacrifice a defender, stick another body in in attack and give them more to think about. If you get hit on the counter and end up losing then so be it, at least you go down by showing you've done possibly everything you can to win and like I said, a draw feels just as bad as a defeat against a team like this.
Sure there is debate over whether the goal should have stood or not, but to be honest, the amount of shots we have in a game and the quality we have in attack, it shouldn't even be an issue, we should have the game already won by that point.
