Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool's effective options from the substitutes' bench had a major say on Saturday's Community Shield triumph and will continue to play a key role for the Reds this season.
Premier League sides will be permitted to make five changes during matches during the upcoming campaign, a law change that has been welcomed by the German after several demands for this adjustment to be made.
Liverpool and Manchester City each had six substitutions available to them during Saturday's curtain-raiser at the King Power Stadium, an allowance Klopp made full use of by introducing Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, James Milner, Naby Keita, Fabio Carvalho and Curtis Jones during proceedings. Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, deployed only three individuals in a bid to turn the tide in his team's favour.
