Peter Schmeichel was full of praise for Jurgen Klopp over the substitutions he made during Liverpool’s 3-1 win against Wolves on Saturday, even though one of them appeared to leave the player being withdrawn ‘unhappy’. The former Manchester United goalkeeper was speaking on later that night (16 September, 8:40pm) when he commended the German for making the changes that he did. Schmeichel said: “You also saw from that clip, how direct and how much more energy that Liverpool came out with in the second half. He (Klopp) must have had a big, big half-time talk. He was so unhappy in the first half.
The substitutions also illustrated the strength in depth that Liverpool now have, with the manager able to unleash multiple players who are capable of changing a game in the Reds’ favour. It’s a wealth of riches which’d be the envy of almost every club in Europe, never mind England.
