#4 Substitutions were not too late, but too little
Jurgen Klopp has often frustrated fans with his unwillingness to change his team until the dying minutes of the game. Prime examples being the horrible away outing at Burnley and even more recently at home against Manchester United, the German somehow has been reluctant to make changes early this season.
So the addition of Daniel Sturridge just over the hour mark was a welcome change, and the Englishman did come close to scoring but ultimately could not. Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino were added on later, and virtually Liverpool’s best attack (for almost a month due to the absence of Sadio Mane) bar Phillipe Coutinho was on the pitch for over twenty minutes and yet there was no breakthrough.
It was just a bad day at the office as even the changes turned out to be irrelevant in the end.
