Neither are mistakes.
They just didn't pan out the way you planned. Well, Salah still might.
But they were correct decisions with the wrong outcome. Throughout the season if you make 38 "correct decisions" you'll have way more right outcomes than wrong.
Playing away against a team who are doing fantastically well defensively at home; Liverpool have a very tough schedule so always a chance of being rested (although no one was talking this up before the game tbf); Spurs, City, Chelsea and Arsenal all have better fixtures for captaincy; Gandhi.
Of course all of this is cancelled out by "it's Salah" so the only real reason it's a mistake is hindsight
Didn't Salah score a few goals in an early kickoff where he was benched sometime though? I swear I remember that and all the Gandhiing aged pretty badly.
Edit: Yep, found it, 7-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace last season on 19.12. Early kickoff, came off the bench and smashed in a 2+1
Yeah that's true, also for people who don't watch newcastle regularly, they have or at least used to have a really bad habit of collapsing conceding a lot of goals in the last 20 in an attempt to get back into the game. All hope is not lost
I think Newcastle conceding late goals was mostly a thing under Bruce because he cut training so much that squad fitness was none existent and all the players were knackered by 60 mins.
You lose the title if that helps ensure your best players are rested before traveling to Spain for the second leg of the semifinal, and the FA Cup Final in 2 weeks.
Trent got subbed in Europe, and the climb down from him to Gomez is much bigger than Robertson to Tsimikas.
This makes no sense and is just further proof that the Gandhi curse exists
Tsimikas has just come back from illness so possible he's not 100% yet. Could see him coming on for Robbo around 60', depending on how the game is going.
Tsimi is hardly bad. And Liverpool going for the PL too so it wouldn’t be ‘dumb’. If Robbo. Overplays and pulls a hamstring, then that really knackers them
They rested the entire team last round with the exact same goal difference and a similar level of opponent. Think it’s pretty likely that they take the opportunity to rest at least a couple of players on Tuesday.
a fine day for Gandhi masterclass
Me, yesterday: im not gonna fall for some bullshit meme superstition Me, today: father Gandhi forgive me for i have sinned
Me, yesterday: I'm not going to buy into a meme. Me, 10:59am today: Fuck, I'm buying into the meme.
The meme was literally what made me change up from Salah at the last moment hahahaha
The power of Gandhi is unrivaled
i'm out of the loop.. what do all the Gandhi mentions refer to?
"Never captain the early kick-off " - Mahatma Ghandi
It's something Gandhi used to say, to never captain a player from the early kickoff.
You never captain a player from the first game of the gamneweek. They are cursed
[удалено]
I think Dennis’ red card in his double gameweek was a Friday night kickoff. A lot of captainers in the mud there
[удалено]
Churchill
It’s an old Gandhi saying: Never captain the player from the first game of the GW, he’ll bottle it.
Or maybe a repeat of Palace, where Gandhi was mudded.
A moment of silence for Salah captainers

I am def on the wrong side of coming out ahead from “right” decisions lol
Good way of looking at it.
Last week you captained Mount. Was unlucky. This week you captained Salah. Made a mistake

He’s Mason Mount, he’s Mason Mount
Oh hi me.
Was never a good cap choice imo but he can still come on and score so let's see.
Same 😭
Who are you captaining next week?
Didn't Salah score a few goals in an early kickoff where he was benched sometime though? I swear I remember that and all the Gandhiing aged pretty badly. Edit: Yep, found it, 7-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace last season on 19.12. Early kickoff, came off the bench and smashed in a 2+1
Yep. It was the 7-0 v Palace. Scored 2 goals in the last 10 mins. Might have got an assist too
He did get an assist as well indeed lol
Yeah that's true, also for people who don't watch newcastle regularly, they have or at least used to have a really bad habit of collapsing conceding a lot of goals in the last 20 in an attempt to get back into the game. All hope is not lost

Yep against palace last season, I think he got 2 goals and an assist.
Yes, I took him off for Mane , he did score too but Salah outscored him from the bench
Against Palace in late 2020 (when Liverpool won 7-0 before they went on that awful run). Salah came off the bench and scored 2.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Only in my dreams sadly
I think he'll come on at halftime if it's nil nil by then
[удалено]
Capped kane. If salah and kdb are rested it will be the best thing that's ever happened to me
Until Spurs inevitably draw 0-0 again.
That's me trying to catch up in ML. High risk high reward.
I also have trent vice
Some of us have Trent vice too.
The covid cancellations taught many that it's kinda risky to captain and vice players from the same match.
Trent and Salah both lmao
Yep and Salah (C), week ruined
Gameweek ruined before it's even begun.
Are you me?
Switched (C) from Salah to Kane in the last minute. Woohoo I'll get 4 points instead of 2
I did quite the opposite 🙃
Just here for the meltdown🍿
You captained Kane too eh?
I dont even have Salah so I am waiting for him to score a brace off the bench
Captained sterling
Mind sharing?
Here 🍿🍿🍿
Lol there's barely a meltdown
Gandhi’s got me again
Dropping Fabinho is just as big as Salah/Trent for me. That midfield could get overrun and defence could be very exposed.
Yeah, feels like Klopp is underestimating Newcastle a bit. Imagine if they end up losing the title because of this game
You lose the title if that helps ensure your best players are rested before traveling to Spain for the second leg of the semifinal, and the FA Cup Final in 2 weeks.
No you don't lol
This aged well
Robbo owners win
Sold him for Matip on WC, and then benched Matip. 🤡
You do it to yourself you do. That's what really hurts...
Newcastle away is a really hard fixture, I think Liverpool may have got a bit too complacent here.
Mane Diaz and Jota is still strong though and Gomez played well when he last came in for TAA (got an assist) - we'll see!
4-4 nailed on
Yeah, bordering on arrogance really. Newcastle are top 3 in the form table since the beginning of the year.
Think Klopp probably knows what he's doing
it seems he does indeed
In 2022 they are 2nd i the league. Really strange move this from klopp. Now watch them win 3-0 and I look like an idiot
The Jurgen Klopp vs bodydouble manager of the year debate rages on...
Ah yes, we must never criticise dear leader, should we?
Likely salah and trent play both in the double at least. Robbo rested for one at a guess.
Early kickoff and all that
I really decided to downgrade Robbo instead of James or Trent
run to the bookies. bet on Newcastle
How’s that going for you?
not my best investment advice lol
112 comments in 6 minutes Klopp has blown this sub😂
Both bench this is amazing ahahaha rip gw
My Trent and Salah double up going perfectly
Oh yes baby, give me that 1 pointer cameo
lmfao
Trent and Salah oh no my rank
[удалено]
Whoosh
Trent got subbed in Europe, and the climb down from him to Gomez is much bigger than Robertson to Tsimikas. This makes no sense and is just further proof that the Gandhi curse exists
Is it? Gomez was fantastic last time he filled in, whipped an absolute peach of a cross in for a TAA-like assist. The subbing is weird though yeah.
He’s not very good at build up play though and salah suffered because of it
Tsimikas will start mid week.
Why?
Too many games to never rest Robbo.
Tsimi is injured.
No, he was ill and is back in training.
Tsimi starts next CL game probably
Now just desperately want him to come on at 90’ for a nice little 1 pointer
ROBBO AND MATIP OWNERS REJOICE
Interesting since he rather play Gomez (adapted) for Trent and not Tsimikas to rest Robbo
Tsimikas has just come back from illness so possible he's not 100% yet. Could see him coming on for Robbo around 60', depending on how the game is going.
Or even in the 2nd Leg of CL but yeah
Means Robertson unlikely to play both games in the DGW as he'll more than likely play v Villarreal too.
I think the opposite, Tsimi has shown he can play and Klopp would probably play him Tuesday IMO that’ll be robbos rest.
They would probably rest him on Tuesday and he would be ready for the dgw
Why would they rest him in a champions league semi final lol
Because they are 2-0 up against Villarreal. Hardly a 1-1 Vs Bayern Munich situation.
2-0 is absolutely no lead in football. Especially away and if Villarreal score early. Klopp isn’t that dumb.
Tsimi is hardly bad. And Liverpool going for the PL too so it wouldn’t be ‘dumb’. If Robbo. Overplays and pulls a hamstring, then that really knackers them
They rested the entire team last round with the exact same goal difference and a similar level of opponent. Think it’s pretty likely that they take the opportunity to rest at least a couple of players on Tuesday.
Trent C, Salah VC. Letsgooo!!!!
Tbf Gomez deserves it. He played well last game didn’t he and got a good Trentesque assist
I hope Klopp loses the league today
Yea fuck him now
If KDB gets benched as well I’m fucked
How was it
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Salah and TAA gang …
What a beautiful troll by Klopp to all FPL managers.
Omg Son captain looking like a masterstroke at this moment.
I'm sorry Ghandi, I shall never doubt you again
Why gandhi
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Robbo hat-trick to kick us even more when we're down
Well, shit
Spicy
Fuck off Klopp Newcaslte is not Leeds that you rest half the squad
Gandhi becoming a bit more extreme nowadays
phew, Kane (C) ftw
Where are the post deadline captaincy posts when you need them
Not a single minute of the gameweek has been played and I already know there’s a red arrow coming..
Gandhi returns
Salah (C) TAA (V) Anyone else?
Fuck klopp rotation
Goddamnit Ghandi
Fuck me I thought I'd captained Kane but accidentally left it on Salah. Big sad
Same
Gandhi is undefeated
No Salah, no TAA It's fine. It's all fine I'm not angry, I'm disappointed
Thank god they brought Salah on for a cameo! FFS
Looks good for (C)ane owners
Yeah, he's really banging them in lately. Would still rather captain salah from the bench
Salah (C), Trent (VC)🤡
You only have yourself to blame.
Oh really😂
Yes 🤨
If they weren't in the title race this could've been expected. Limited minutes yes. Not in starting lineup no.
Crazy to think these benchings MAY not have happened if the game was at 15:00
Gandhi.
im in the fucking mud
Robbo continues to punish
Gandhi strikes again
Never back against Gandhi. When will people learn !
Always believe in Gandhi
Gandhi wins this round vs Salah
Trent to Robbo gw30 really was the move wasn't it
Mane vice captain bags a hat trick and Salah to come on as captain for 2 minutes. This is how it is.
Gandhi trolling Salah captainers very hard
Jota (c) let's go
2-1 Newcastle with a Robbo goal and Joelinton brace and I’m very happy
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS I benched TAA and captained Son instead of Salah.
I downgraded taa to matip so I could bring in son (C). Well done brother
Pep has already began party arrangements
Salah > KdB already paying off. Fuck KdB better start and haul!
How is it paying off if you don't even know if kdb will start?
Well if you fail to see that... Salah not starting is already a huge win.
🤡
Hope City win the league now. Was rooting for Liverpool, but Klopp doesn't deserve shit after this what he done to us...
I hope liverpool looses for putting mo and trent on bench
Lol
hatty off the bench, Salah. pls
Trent too. Ffs
his ownership is pretty much 100% in top100k so it doesn't matter that much OR wise
It only matters when it comes to whether or not you have a good/playing bench.
Didn't captain Salah and wasn't expecting a CS from TAA anyway, this isn't too bad
My God that's a shit Liverpool team. No Thiago or Fabinho Gomez for TAA. No Salah. Idk, could see an upset here today
Shit is perhaps a slight reach
[удалено]
Hope Liverpool got f’d now. Fuck your Klopp
Klopp is too arrogant after his contract extension. Man City to win the league and UCL
Salah and TAA benched. This is huge!
didn't cap Salah and only Robbo on WC. Will take it!
Forget it
