[Other Sport] Liverpool use 27 players in friendly

[Easy 10]

Liverpool come from behind to beat Lyon 3-1. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49182847

"27 players played for Liverpool during the game, with two changes made at 30 minutes, three more at half-time and then an all-new 11 coming on after an hour"

And I thought Sven used to take the piss.

Klopp has been grizzling all summer about all the strain on his half-billion pound squad, so I suppose this game was his middle finger, and part of his pre-excuse for when they get humped by Man City on Sunday.

Possibly what we did at pompey, hence played behind closed doors. Not really a conventional "match" at all. But serves a purpose for the manager. Result though total irrelevant.

They’ve had an awful pre season. It’s glorious.

So the 3 players who came on at half-time got just 15 minutes before they changed the entire 11 on 60mins.

I know players come on for the last 10-15 mins of games, but I think of that being to save the player they are replacing from playing the full 90 before they are ready. But this has barely given anyone enough of a work-out.

Wouldn't they have been better having another game somewhere, with a Liverpool XI being put out?

Probably.

Lyon can't be up to much though, getting dicked by a team with a revolving door in the technical area. The 4th officials thumbs must've been shagged out by the end.

How long did it take for the 4th official to put up 22 numbers?
