Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took aim at Sheffield United counterpart Chris Wilder after their 1-1 draw at Brighton.
Klopp watched on as James Milner hobbled off at the Amex Stadium, and made his thoughts clear after the game.
Speaking to BT Sport, Klopp said: "Yeah, congratulations.
"No, but you work for them yeah? Hamstring. Surprise. And they had injuries as well because it's a tough time. But ask Chris Wilder how we avoid that.
"I don't know how often I have to say it: you pick us for 12:30 kick-offs. You picked it. Not you, personally. But you did, didn't you?
"Us on 12.30. Between now and December and New Year, there's one more Wednesday and Saturday 12.30 kick-off."
On being denied his appeal for five substitutions, Klopp continued: "That's very interesting. Because when we had the talk between the managers a week ago, it was 15-5 or 16-4 in favour of five subs. But since then nothing happened.
"You need at least at least 14 votes and Chris Wilder or whoever, constantly say I'm selfish. I think all the things he's said shows that he's selfish but that's not too important. I was in a similar situation as he is when I worked at Mainz - all about staying in the league.
"But now they [can make] three subs and have one point. So there's no advantage or disadvantage. If you can do five subs in a game like this, it's not for tactical reasons."
