'We didn't take him off because he played bad': Klopp explains Norwich substitutions

Jurgen Klopp spoke about the importance of giving minutes to Trent, Robertson and Szoboszlai in Liverpool's win over Norwich.

He also added that Darwin Nunez was taken off to manage his minutes and not due to his performance.

"Very important that we could give them minutes," said Klopp. "So, Trent and Dom were not too long out, but I think they would say too long anyway, but Robbo was really out for a long time.

"Each minute they can get now is really important and today it helps as well to share the intensity again.

"Darwin we didn’t take off because he played bad or whatever, of course not, it’s just the amount of games we played and will play, and then the same with Joey [Gomez].

"All good, we could share the minutes, that’s the most important thing and we could win the game and that’s it now. In four weeks we play the next FA Cup game and until then we play just Premier League and one final, so let’s do that [and] make sure we are ready for that.

"That the boys are back is great but we played pretty well without them, to be honest, so it’s not about who is playing, it’s about how we are playing and we have to make sure we are the one team Chelsea doesn’t want to play against and Arsenal doesn’t want to play against. So, let’s see what we can do with the players we have now available."
