Liverpool v Southampton PL

[Norbs]

Great result & we go again mid week. Great to see Robbo back in form & Jota amongst the goals. Only surprise was we didn’t give Minamino & Origi some minutes.

I was sure Minamino played

He came on for the last 10mins

Yeah sorry 10 mins but for Jota , who’s played less minutes than both Salah & Mane who weren’t replaced surprisingly. Got a funny feeling Div might play midweek though

But then we'd have too many midfielders when they're all fit, and an unhappy squad.

That's a logical fallacy (false dichotomy) as it assumes there are only 2 possible options.

There is a multitude of variables which need to be considered, many of them would have a direct impact on squad happiness

Klopps man management - he's always been an advocate in attributing success to the squad, making players who have had less game time feel like they have still contributed.

Number of competitions - the better the squad the more competitions you can be successful in, more success equals happier players. Klopp has had to bin off domestic cups in the past as we haven't had the squad to compete on 4 fronts.

Squad rotation - Klopp has had to over play some players in the past as the drop off in quality was too great. I'm sure this has led to additional injuries. Players who are fit and contributing are undoubtedly happier than those sidelined with injuries.

There just a few of the things that spring to mind, I'm sure there are a bunch more contributing factors that actual football managers have to consider.

Didn't Klopp throw a curveball and play a really weakened side against Everton before? The game Origi scores under the crossbar?

Yeah he did from memory. And wasn’t that really late on in the game when he scored? They’d have been celebrating a draw like it was the highlight of their season, which it would have been

He played the kids in the FA Cup - 4th round I think. Don't think the Origi crossbar goal was a weak team

[RedReet]

2019 he made 5 changes about this time of year. Div scored twice.
