I see this repeated a lot but it’s not true in reality. Pep and Klopp rotate more than anyone. Having deep benches allow you to do that. Clubs with shallower benches are forced to play their best XI more often.

That is actually only partly true, city has one of the smaller squads - though oep rotates alot in his "17" outfield squad

Depth isn’t only a matter of numbers, it’s also a matter of quality.

That I agree with, but remeber that quality also allows you to use players like akanji, rico, stephen very often
