Liverpool have enjoyed a strong start to the current season as Jurgen Klopp continues to make the most of a recent rule change

We have squads, but there are some key players who only get out of the team when they are injured. That’s how it is. The decision about it [five subs] is made. We realised again in the managers’ meeting that the decision was made by 14 clubs. You need 14 votes to change it - and there is something wrong.
Fast forward to the present day and it is clear to see Klopp is making the most of having additional options at his disposal. During the eight fixtures played by Liverpool so far this season, the German has made a total of 37 changes - an average of 4.6 per game. Compared to the Reds' main title and Champions League rivals, only Brighton have made more in-game adjustments .
