"The most difficult time is coming up now, for Sheffield United as well by the way. Then we will see. "I can explain it one last time. In this period we are in, five subs is not for tactical changes, and even if ever, one coach has the luck to use it for tactical changes then that will be the exception. Today, we made an early sub at half time, then a second sub, and we really thought if we were brave [enough] to make a third sub. "If you are not brave then you have to wait for the third sub until the 90th minute pretty much, because until then, when they show up five more minutes for example, then you can say, 'Ok, if we change now, probably nothing will happen. We are only three or four minutes with 10 men.' "If we'd had five subs today, then 100 per cent I would have taken Andy Robertson off. I had Kostas Tsimikas on the bench, so he can play there for 15, 20 minutes or whatever."Responding to Chris Wilder's "selfish politician" jibe, when the Sheffield United boss accused Klopp of only thinking about his own team and not the rest of the teams with weaker squads, Klopp insisted he is speaking for the benefit of every team and not just Liverpool. https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1332719238407217154 "[Five subs] is not the solution, but it's a little help," said Klopp. "That's all, whatever Chris Wilder says, I don't only speak about Liverpool, he speaks only about Sheffield United. That's true, he admitted that in the manger's meeting."
