Frank Lampard agrees with Jurgen Klopp over Premier League decision

Frank Lampard has claimed the Premier League have “dropped the ball” by not letting managers make five substitutions this season. After the coronavirus suspension last term, league bosses made a temporary change which increased the number of changes from three. Following a vote between Premier League teams, it was decided that changes would revert back to three, despite the protestations of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. Before the vote, he was asked whether he would continue with the five-sub rule: “Yes [I’m in favour],” he said. “I know the discussion will then go again of whether it is an advantage for the bigger clubs,” he said post-game. Chelsea boss Lampard believes that the increased demands on players means it would have made more sense to allow the increased flexibility a bigger matchday squad would enable. “The ball was certainly dropped when the Premier League turned away from having five subs,” Lampard told Football.London. “These are unprecedented times in terms of situations for football. It will carry on, it's not going anywhere in the short term. “The demands on players are huge for every club. I'm not just talking about my squad, I'm talking about every football player that is being asked to play day after day and the injury risk. It has changed the landscape. “We'll try to manage it as well as we can. We're fortunate we have a big squad here. At the same time we want to do our best, the pressure is on and the players want to get the right results. We do. It could certainly have a big effect this year, more than any other year.” Source- Mirror Join us on Telegram
