Fail to understand Jurgen Klopp
I just don’t understand klopps logic sometimes, we still needed to qualify he should have just started all the main boys go 3 nill up then you can make the changes and mess about next two games. Now we have to win next week or else we’re f*cked

Walk over
And crazy how all the goals game when the “bigguns” came on... just shows that first half team done pretty well with shoddy tactics to follow.
