Thiago and Jurgen Klopp hinted at big Liverpool problem after 'strange' Chelsea game

There’s no beating around the bush, Liverpool’s draw with Chelsea on Saturday afternoon was disappointing.

You look at our side and it was clear Jurgen tried to freshen it up with younger legs. I’m just glad we played Chelsea at a good time because if they had a stronger side out I think we might have lost. We could’ve had a strong side too, of course we could. But like them, we have injuries to players like Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.

On Saturday, the experienced players within the squad were largely left on the bench as the manager decided to stick with the same midfield that had impressively defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup just a few days before - leaving Jordan Henderson and Fabinho as substitutes.
