Posted on by Tami
Whatever way you look at it, it makes absolutely no sense that Mo Salah played 90 minutes of a dead-rubber on Thursday night against Sparta Prague, rendering him only capable of 70 at Old Trafford on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp has been sublime this season. His substitutions and the manner in which he’s coped with his team’s injuries and trusted younger players have been exceptional, but his game management against Manchester United was poor. Liverpool were cruising in the second half. If anything, it was too easy. Then, Klopp took off Salah, Andy Robertson and Dom Szoboszlai and completely sacrificed control.…

Oddly, the performance was one of our better ones in recent weeks and a return to the early season trend of creating chances but having neither the composition nor the confidence to take them. Post-match, the manager seemed somewhat fed up of the same old story being told – a high xG but…

This…
