Obviously it doesn't work like that.
Klopp plays the highest line in Europe.
If that line depends on Nat Philips and Ozan Kabak, we are talking about another team
Facing Mane-Jota-Salah without a natural right-back and a never-tested pair of substitute center backs makes you a different team as well.
I don't see why only Liverpool gets the benefit of extenuating circumstances.
