Stat reveals extent of Jurgen Klopp’s rotation with Liverpool this season .

Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool have made 59 changes to their starting XI so far this season in the league; only one team have made more in their opening 16 games to a Premier League campaign (Man Utd; 68 in 2001-02).

This is Klopp’s first full season fighting on four fronts, having taken over two months into the 2015/16 campaign that saw the Reds compete in the league, Europa League , FA Cup and
League Cup .
That season saw Liverpool reach the Europa League final, ultimately losing to Sevilla in Basel.
But focusing largely on their European endeavours saw his side finish eighth in the league.
Now battling for Champions League success along with domestic glory in the league and the
FA Cup , having already been knocked out of the
League Cup by Leicester City , Klopp is utilising his squad.
And so far it is paying off: Liverpool are in the last 16 of the Champions League , facing a two-legged clash with Porto next year, and are fourth in the league after 16 games.
At the same stage in 2001/02, Man United were six points and a place worse off in the league, but ultimately finished third, as well as reaching the semi-finals in Europe’s top tier.
Alex Ferguson used 28 different players in that league campaign, with 20 (71.4%) fielded in at least a quarter of United’s fixtures.
This term, Klopp has used 24 players over 16 league games so far, with 19 (79.2%) making at least four appearances.
Given the increased quality at his disposal following a productive summer that saw the Reds sign Robertson, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Salah, Klopp is wise to make the most of his options.
