The last few days were intense for Endo’
FT: Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth
Liverpool
More from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports: "I am not sure it is clear and obvious with the way we use VAR [for the red card]. There is contact. I don’t want to give advice to the refs but if he gives a yellow I don’t think anyone says it is a red card. I can’t believe that. Yes there is contact, this is clear. But this happens all the time in the game. There must be a different intention behind when it is a red card. Let’s see what we can do. We will try to talk to people
“It was not how you plan it [the introduction of Wataru Endo]. The last two days for him were brutally intense. This morning we sat and spoke but we did not speak about a 4-4-1. I didn’t think that would happen. Everyone knows when you come on for five minutes in a game like this it feels like you have played 200. Everything is new. This midfield never, ever played together. It was not planned but we came through it and now he has his first minutes.”
On Trent Alexander-Arnold: “He told me it is just a kick so I hope that is all it is. It is painful but should go away pretty quickly.”
We didn’t talk about a 4-4-1
