‘Should’ve been playing’: Liverpool fans question Klopp on leaving Takumi Minamino out

Liverpool stumbled their way to a 1-1 draw with West Brom this evening as they opened the door slightly at the top of the Premier League table.

The Reds went ahead through Sadio Mane and dominated the ball but allowed the Baggies to build their way back into the game in the second period and paid the price when Semi Ajayi headed in to level the scores.

It was just what West Brom deserved, in fairness. Liverpool wasted countless chances to try and punish Albion and at times, spent too long going side to side in midfield with little progress.

And some Liverpool fans believe Jurgen Klopp got it wrong by not introducing Takumi Minamino to the action. The forward enjoyed a good game last weekend at Palace but was left on the bench, with Divock Origi and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain thrown on instead.

Twitter, then, was full of comments from Reds fans questioning why Minamino missed out.
