Why didn t Lallana play in Liverpool s 5 3 Chelsea game?

At this point in time, there was a game destined to go down in history as Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side played a classic battle against Frank Lampard's Chelsea. In the end, Liverpool thrashed Chelsea with a score of 5-3, and after this game, Liverpool also managed to lift the championship trophy. For the Liverpool team, winning the Gold Cup was a great cause for celebration, but one person was slandered, and he was Lallana.

You must know that before the game, Klopp gave the player Lallana a promise, but in this game he reversed himself. Because it can be seen that before the game against Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp made it clear in his pre-match interview that Lallana would be in the squad. However, alas, Lallana did not get even a single minute of playing time in this game.

In this game, Uncle Scum used up 5 substitutions and replaced Milner, Jones, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi and Takumi Minamino. You must know that in the 84th minute of the game, the score has come to 5-3, and the result of the game is almost a foregone conclusion, and it has become a high probability that Liverpool will win, but Lallana is still ignored.

Seeing that Uncle Scum ran out of substitutions, Lallana, who was sitting on the bench, was also full of disappointment, because it was a pity for him, and the end of this game meant that he could not say goodbye at home (Liverpool will play Newcastle United away in the final round).

Previously, in the 15-16 and 16-17 seasons, Lallana was a thigh-level player for the Liverpool team, and in these two seasons, he scored 7 goals and 8 assists, and 8 goals and 7 assists respectively, and once carried the team forward alone.

Now, with Liverpool's squad getting better and Lallana no longer being taken seriously by the Liverpool team, the player will leave the club at the end of the season (his current contract expires at the end of the month), and this game at Anfield will be the equivalent of Lallana's farewell game at Liverpool's home stadium. It can be seen that Klopp has caused controversy, because he broke his promise and did not keep his promise to let Lallana play, it seems that Klopp has been carried away by the joy of winning the championship, which also makes Liverpool fans feel a little disappointed.

In Liverpool's 5-3 Chelsea game, Lallana did not play because Lallana himself had an injury. And Lallana is leaving Liverpool this summer, so the manager asked him to rest on the bench for the next Liverpool farewell game.

Because Lallana was injured, Klopp didn't let him play.
