I know why he does it, but I never really feel confident about winning a game when we have Hendo/Gini/Fabinho in the same three, swap Milner in for Hendo and i would still have the same fears. We just lack that bit of creativity and urgency going forward and as an opposing manager i would just think to give them all the space in the world and wait for the counter. Think if Klopp started with the same three that played against Bayern it would have really sent a message to united.
Substitutions have always been something I query Klopp on, timings and actual personnel changes.
Yesterday, if we put TAA or Keita on at half-time, it would have sent a real message to United that we were going to throw everything at them.
Also, Sturridge for Firmino wasn't the right call, not that Sturridge did anything wrong, but he didn't do much right either did he? Shaqiri out on the right and Salah through the middle would have made more sense to me, especially with Salah struggling so much out on the right.
As someone will most likely remind me i am no expert and Klopp knows better but that's just my two cents on Klopps performance on Sunday.
