Jurgen Klopp slammed for "arrogance" and urged to pull Liverpool star out firing line

Jurgen Klopp has been heavily criticised for his decision to start Fabio Carvalho when Liverpool hosted Brighton in the Premier League at the weekend.

Carvalho was handed his second league start for the Reds as they drew 3-3 with the Seagulls last Saturday, playing 45 minutes at Anfield before he was taken off at half-time, with the hosts 2-1 down. The 20-year-old's inclusion in the line-up was surprising given his inexperience and the wealth of talent Klopp had in reserve.

Marquee summer signing Darwin Nunez was only handed a spot on the bench alongside Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz. The trio returned to Merseyside shortly before the Brighton fixture after representing their respective nations during the international break, with Klopp confirming Jota and Nunez came back carrying "little" injury concerns.
