– Fair to say a lineup arguably harder for the established than the inexperienced in our side?
– What do they think they’re getting from Leicester? 12 December last game.
Assessing the first half:
– Seeing the other side of what can happen in a Klopp team on breakdown of play/turnovers in key areas.
– Passing into areas which can kill you – no stats on this but maybe we can talk about how midful we wasn’t in comparison to normal.
Second half:
– Subs
– Clearly more switching in possession and squeezing on Tielemans through shape.
– Linking all of this to the desire to stay in the game – they know if it goes 1-4 that’s it.
– Doesn’t chime with a ‘this game doesn’t matter’ narrative.
Just a quick note on why they didn’t sub Vardy – I think it must have been that, even with 5 substitutions possible, you can only make them at 3 intervals (excluding half time). Leicester had made substitutions on ’42 and ’56, so they would have had to sub him on ’60, with the 2 others they did then, and I’m not sure he was injured by then.
