Jurgen Klopp angers FPL owners
Klopp left FPL managers fuming before a ball was even kicked at Kenilworth Park after benching Konstantinos Tsimikas in favour of playing Joe Gomez in left-back. The defender has been one of the most transferred in players in the Premier League over the past few weeks after Andrew Robertson was forced to undergo surgery, with FPL managers cashing in on the £4.5million asset. Tsimikas then entered the fray in the 65th minute to pile further misery onto his owners, who were forced to settle for just a point from their defender rather than him being auto-swapped out for a bench player.
Carragher fumes over Premier League rules
Jamie Carragher sympathised with the frustrated Luton supporters in the first half after right-back Ibrahim Kabore was forced to stand on the sidelines for 30 seconds while his side defended a corner. The defender blocked Nunez’s cross with his face and thus required treatment, though it meant that Luton were outnumbered in the penalty area.
Speaking about the newly-imposed Premier League rule, Carragher said: “This is not right, this is wrong but he has to go off here. He’s making a challenge to stop the opposition from scoring, they’ve now got to defend a corner and they’re a man down. This is not right. Luton shouldn’t be penalised for this, they’ve just got a defender making a block, doing his job. It just feels like set-pieces, it doesn’t feel right when someone’s got an extra body in the box as everyone’s got a defined role. It’ll cost the team.”
