Fab four fail, ref gives Baggies the bail: 5 talking points from Liverpool vs West Brom 

#4 Is the rotation affecting Liverpool’s fab four?

Mane and co. were left frustrating

I know, it’s a bit too hard to criticise the Liverpool attack considering how well they’ve done in the last few months. But for everything that’s been said, Liverpool’s goal gluts have come against weaker opposition, sides who don’t have good defensive records this season.

West Brom are by no means a team who have put in good defensive performances this season, but they sure have the personnel to do so and they showed that last night.

But unlike the first few months, where Klopp didn’t have the obligation to rotate his squad simply because it was early days and the players were fresh, the team has somewhat looked disjointed in attack. The likes of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have played with different attackers every other game, so perhaps it has affected the understanding.

With tough games coming up, Klopp will have a decision to make as the Reds can’t afford to rotate too much. They run the risk of losing too much ground in the race for the Champions League places.
