Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has hit out at the Premier League over their substitutes rule.
Klopp has been vocal in his criticism of the Premier League’s decision not to stick with last year’s temporary rule allowing five instead of three substitutions.
Premier League clubs voted against continuing with the five substitutions rule, which remains in place in many European competitions.
Smaller clubs had argued that the big teams had an advantage given their larger squads.
Yet Klopp took aim at Premier League’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Richard Masters, for failing to convince the clubs.
“It’s a lack of leadership. Richard Masters asked about it. All the other teams have to understand. It’s not an advantage, it is a necessity.
“We have to talk again. Masters sold it completely wrong. (We are) the only big league with three subs,” he said.
