If he brought on mane at 70 mins and we conceded everyone would have called Klopp a reckless idiot

Because everyone 'knows' you're supposed to bring on an extra defender or solid midfielder to close out the match

We couldn’t close out a 3-0 lead on Tuesday so what makes you think we can do it when we were 1-0 up.

comment by KLS - Kolo-Match thread duties are shared between Pranks and me, we got married last month as he sacked me off whilst on one knee. My parents warned me he was too short and old, but unlike Liverpools trophy cabinet he isn't full of dust and mould. (U1695)

What's that got to do with the price of tea in Runcorn?

It's tactically what you're supposed to do

Yes and he did. He brought off Sturridge and brought on Wijnaldum. That's a striker for a midfielder and by that point Liverpool weren't playing with an out and out striker up top. So he made that "change".

But he could have brought Mané on for Coutinho. A like for like in terms of the positions, but for the fresh legs and extra pace on the break to make Chelsea wary.

Last time I checked coutinho played in the middle and mane played wide

Well in that case I'm not quite sure what game you were watching yesterday because I'm quite certain Coutinho started out on the left, Salah on the right and then Sturridge through the middle.

Anyway the point is, they fluked a goal

And there will always be some who will claim it wouldn't have happened if we did x, y, or z instead

And if we had done x, y, or z and conceded a fluke goal then those same people would have said we should have done a, b, or c.

Because it's their nature

Ox was on the left

Nah you are wrong.

Ox was on the left first half.

Him and Salah switched sides second half.

Then when Sturridge went off, Coutinho went wide left and Salah down the middle.

So you either only watched the last 20 mins, or you weren’t paying as much attention as think you were.

He is right. Couts started on left of midfield 3. Ox was wide left up higher up
