Klopp is hardly tinkering anything since August 2018 and has a smaller squad than us, and went ll the way with us in PL last season and went all the way in CL too and won it with a so called high pressure, intense style which everyone said they will be too tired in second half of the season they cannot maintain it with their 14/15 players and some mediocre rest.
You know Allison, Van Dijk, Robertson, TAA will always start when fit.
You know Firmino, Salah, Mane always start when fit. And Henderson.
Then you know Wijnaldum, Keita, Fabinho start 75% of the time at least.
Their midfield is doing huge amount of work in terms of running, pressing, helping attacks, helping defence much more than our midfeld helping our defence, so I guess that is where Klopp is using more of a rotation between Fabinho, Oxlade, Keita, Wijnaldum, Milner, Lallana etx.
Other than that sometimes Matip and Gomez are rotated with each other but that sit.
For us it is much bigger rotation, even if Zinchenko has two good games he is automatically goes to the bench after that, same with Mahrez, Jesus etc. If Jesus scores in two games in a row he is likely not to start in the next 3 as Kun will start.
We have much more injuries as well, but that is down how the trainings are and how the physios work with the players. I dont think they are doing a wonderful job. Or do we duck up something in pre season trainings?
We also had 1-2 physios joining Liverpool last 2 years.
And lets be honest we dont look any more fresh and players dont look like have way more energy than Liverpool. We look more tired actually.
All this tinkering is probably just Pep looking to change things that didnt work last game. but when something works properly and we win big he still changes around 7 players for next game.
I fear the worst vs Real Madrid as I feel they are a bit underestimated here on the forum. I think they know our weaknesses and these weaknesses are punished every 3rd/4th game this season vs good/mediocre/shit sides regularly and I am not sure Pep will be able to punish Real's weaknesses.
If they sit back, wait on counter chances, have 3 shots on goal and score 2-3 from those which is likely while we have 10 shots to have no goal or 1 goal scored that is enough to lose the CL tie...
