this has been talked about numerous time yesterday by the match commentators and studio guest (including Robbie fowler). no one understand why klopp did what he did in the everton's game. hopefully, that is the last time he does that.
Correcto mundo, both Fowler and Andy Townsend during commentary and just in case somebody says hindsight - numerous commentators were saying the same before the match started after the team sheet was out.
"We've heard Klopp come on and say it was a terrible decision and there's only one team who were going to win it. Well, have a look at your own team selection.
"You've left out a guy who scored a hat-trick in midweek (Coutinho), and as a centre forward, I know that the time to be left out is when you're not scoring goals.
"You can't wait to get out on to the pitch when you're a forward and you're scoring goals."
Of Klopp's rotation policy, Shearer added: "Instead of putting in the guy who's still learning his trade (Dominic Solanke) in such an important game, play your big names.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce claimed the decision to leave Coutinho and Firmino on the bench gave his side a psychological boost before kick-off.
"I would say so, yes," he said.
Like Townsend was saying in the 2nd half - "that's the right way to rotate - take off key players in the 2nd half when you have an advantage"
only concern is when we concede we tend to concede more than 1...
. 1 less than Arse and Burnley. 2 less than DeGay.
