They only had six outfield substitutes for Tuesday’s Champions League win at Girona, one of whom, James Norris, has played a mere nine minutes of first-team football for the club. His back-up midfielders for Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham, Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott, excelled for Jurgen Klopp last season but are yet to start a league or European game for the new head coach. Yet on a day when his options narrowed further for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie at Southampton, Andy Robertson’s red card bringing a ban, meaning Ryan Gravenberch spent much of the Fulham game as a makeshift centre-back and leaving Virgil van Dijk musing that “maybe the manager has to be creative” in midweek, they expanded in another respect. The numbers would not suggest Liverpool really missed Jota’s goals: not when Mohamed Salah has nine goals in his last eight league games, Cody Gakpo seven in his last 10 outings in all competitions.
