Jurgen Klopp has admitted he decided against rotating his side further against Newcastle United when explaining his decision to make five changes to his Liverpool team from the one that beat Villarreal in midweek.
Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, James Milner, Naby Keita and Diogo Jota all came into the starting XI in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Mohamed Salah as the German rotated his side with one eye on the Champions League semi-finals.
With the Reds still chasing an unprecedented quadruple, Klopp was always going to make changes against the Magpies. And with his squad depth stronger than it’s ever been at Anfield, the Liverpool manager revealed why he doesn’t actually find it that difficult picking his starting XI on a weekly basis.
