Jurgen Klopp has been praised for his substitutions in Liverpool’ comeback win at Wolves. The Reds made a sluggish start at Molineux and were fortunate enough to only have conceded once before the half-time break. Pedro Neto attempted to make the most of makeshift backline, setting up Hwang Hee-chan’s opener, and forced Klopp into a rethink at the interval. The introduction of Luis Diaz at expense saw Liverpool switch to a 4-4-2 formation and quickly draw level through Cody Gakpo.
Though Liverpool were forced to wait for their breakthrough, pundit Peter Schmeichel lauded ability to solve his side’s early problems.
“You also saw from that clip, how direct and how much more energy that Liverpool came out with in the second half,” .
When asked, post-match, about his decision to change Mac Allister at half-time, Klopp admitted that the midfielder was grateful to take his place on the bench.
