3) Klopp needs to make changes sooner

Liverpool 0-0 Southampton: 5 things we learned 1

Both Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge both sat on the bench for 68 minutes today. They were brought on after the penalty miss, but judging on the action in the first half, they should’ve been brought on much sooner. It’s very difficult to understand why Jurgen Klopp waits so long in matches to use his options from the bench. He needs to react in games sooner, and give his substitutions more time to prove they can make a difference. Sturridge in particular provided a brighter spark than most after coming on, but he would’ve been much more effective if he’d been introduced at half time.

4) Milner’s penalty woes

Milner has had a superb season scoring from the penalty spot. Before today, it was 7 out of 7 for him so far this season. In fact, looking back even further, the Liverpool defender hasn’t missed a career penalty since 2009. The save from Forster proved to be the difference in the game today, and a good save later on from Marko Grujic’s header also helped deny Liverpool the win. How costly will this penalty miss from Milner come the end of the season?
