I can understand why Klopp is looking at fielding a young team, but the media support for Klopp would not be there for Pep if he did the same.

Why do you understand what Klopp is doing ? he agreed as did every other prem manager at the start of the season that if a replay was needed it would be played during that week. Further, even if he is right that his squad should have a break, why does he need one ?
The man is a narcissistic wanker.

Because he wants to win the PL and CL and does not give two hoots about the FA Cup and League Cup. However, Klopp is being very disrespectful to Shrewsbury by not turning up for the replay and is bang out of order.

Plus the maximum number of replays that a Premier League, or even Championship, team can have in the domestic cups is two. In the FA Cup they can only have replays in the 3rd and 4th round and the League Cup doesn't have replays or extra time in any round. So one FA Cup replay for poor Littlewoods FC - the same as Southampton and one less than both Spurs and Newcastle.

I suppose I understand you have the pitchforks out for Klopp hatred over his complaints about the fixtures, as anything LFC on here is inherently abhorrent. But what I find curious is probably the person closest to Klopp on this thinking is probably...well, Pep, no?

I sympathize with the smaller clubs though. Well there's some highly paid business school graduates in the FA and Premiere League that should be able to figure this out--all soccer entities, FIFA included need to sit down and figure this scheduling thing out, they should do what they're paid to. Truth is I've never really sympathized with the fixture congestion argument because well, use your squad! I'm sympathetic to the argument that football exists outside of the Champions League clubs.

Reforming the League Cup is low hanging fruit.

Being completely objective and I’ve actually agreed with a Scouser at work who is as biased as I usually am, if not worse.

I don’t begrudge a manager playing any player he has at his disposal, I didn’t even blame Klopp for choosing the Club World Cup over the League Cup and Liverpool putting a side out still was good enough for me, at least they honoured both fixtures with it being a difficult choice.

But this is both bizarre and incredibly poor in terms of respect. I wouldn’t give a shit if he played 11 teenagers but he’s the bloody manager and he doesn’t need physical rest.

He basically just fancies the holiday and well, the FA Cup can sod off as long as he wins the league.

Klopp can put out whatever team he wants for me - he’s hardly the first manager to field a weakened side in the FA Cup - but what grates my gears is that he isn’t even going to take charge of the team on the night. Change your players by all means but don’t change your manager!
 
All valid points, however at the end of the day, Klop will do whatever the f he wants and the club will back him. Its up to the FA to do something. Petty for Shrewsbury because people will say that they played the kids when they win. Still.. they will get more money for playing Chelsea next round.
 
I have absolutely no sympathy for Klopp or the scousers,all this possibly would have been avoided if he had played a slightly stronger side than he put out on Sunday ffs,taking into account that they would have probably beaten Shrewsbury then they would have been able to have their winter break without all this bollocks of a replay,I just hope now that Shrewsbury turn the fuckers over ...

But he agreed at the start of the season to have a replay if necessary so why has the toothy shit now gone bandit ?
 
I think he's played this one really badly.

All he had to do was take an 11 day holiday instead of a 14 day holiday and just stand on the sideline assisting the youth coach. Christ, all he had to do was put out hald a decent side knowing that everyone would get 14 days off.

And the way he said it was so condescending as well, "we will respect the break", having a go at the PL for asking clubs not to use the break as an opportunity to play friendlies in Qatar.

He's chipped away a lot of the good will he'd been building up with neutrals for years.

Because he knows the will get away with it. Who has the bollocks to stand up to him? Certainly not the media or the FA
They are all a bunch of fanny wipes. Not one of them have a spine. In fact a jelly fish has more of a spine than them

one way Liverpool could have avoided a replay is show the cup some respect. Play some of the first eleven to ensure there is enough quality on the pitch to go through and rotate against West Ham. I’m sure there is enough quality in that squad to see off an abysmal West Ham.

Liverpool have earned the right with that lead to go full tilt at the cup competitions whilst slowly crossing off the days till the league is done. Would you want one trophy or three? I know what Pep would do.

....but the same team beat Everton. A striker that scored the KO goal against Barcelona and the winning-goal in the Champions League started.

Lost in all this is that the team should've been good enough to beat Shrewsbury. And I don't begrudge them this, it's a fantastic deserved result for them--they have agency in this too.

While I'm ok with whatever team is picked in the replay though, i do think it's weird for him to not show up. Ok, let Salah rest, but it'd be nice for Klopp to show up to the sideline.

Agree, not a good look for him to not show up.

He is the new Alex Ferguson.

No f***er will cross him. Not even Henry and FSG.
