Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp launches strong defence of his decision on 27-year-old player

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has defended his decision to send Nathaniel Clyne to Bournemouth, according to the Guardian. Klopp told The Guardian about Clyne: “I can imagine people think that. I don’t think about it. In the moment we did it there were different reasons. Then an hour later people could say: ‘Why did you do that?’ “Milly got suspended and Trent injured – or the other way around. Is that perfect? I don’t think so. You make the decision at the moment you have to and then people judge it later. Hendo did well. “We all know how good Clyney is, but would he have had more offensive influence in the game? I don’t know. Defensively I did not see a mistake from Hendo.”
