The Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp comments that it is normal to make rotations, especially in the intense December period. The German made five changes to the Everton derby, but he still won with 5:2 and kept his lead at the top of the standings.
`This is the time to make changes. When you are a fan, you have your best 11 and you want them to play all the time, but this is not FIFA or PlayStation. We have to make those changes. If you have an opportunity, you make them!', commented Klopp.
The German said that he needed smart players who would have no problem when they were not on the pitch: `At this point you need a clever squad, people with at least half a brain. I can`t explain things every time, theythey have to understand without needing to tell them. Fortunately, we have this. Shaqiri was injured twice and needed time to return. During that time the team won almost all the matches. I don`t expect perfection when you`re on terrain, but I expect a desire to show that you are good enough and Shaqiri did just that. There are always reasons and boys understand them.`
