Jurgen Klopp rages at officials again over Solanke handball and defends Liverpool rotation
Striker Solanke has goal ruled out against West Brom with eight minutes to go as Liverpool stutter to second home draw in a row
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he will keep rotating his side despite a second consecutive draw at home in a 0-0 stalemate against lowly West Bromwich Albion.
Klopp claimed Liverpool were unlucky as they were denied victory when Dominic Solanke had a goal ruled out for handball with eight minutes left at Anfield.
The German recalled Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, both surprisingly named on the bench in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Everton, to form a powerful attacking threat along with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
He also brought Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum into midfield, named Trent Alexander-Arnold in place of Joe Gomez at right-back and replaced Simon Mignolet with Loris Karius in goal.
Asked if he felt his selection against West Brom worked, Klopp said: “That’s not my job to talk about. I made the decision already, and if we don’t win, for me, it’s like it didn’t work.
“That happens quite a lot in the life of a manager. But it would make no sense to be too frustrated about that.”
