Who said anything about promoting? He involves young players in the first team squad, instead of getting a couple of senior backups. He did the same thing at Dortmund. Time will tell if it will work as well as it did with us @ Dortmund .
That is one of the most damning (and realistic) indictments of modern society.He doesn’t need you now he has your photo
Errr, you did.
Your exact words were: "Klopp wants to keep the squad small in order to allow young players to rotate in to the team".
Rotate in to the team you said, not squad
Their Youth Policy is legendary, Jay Spearing is now captain of Blackpool and Jon Flanagan has made 18 appearances for Rangers in the Fish and Chip shop league in the last two years.You have to love these myths that fans of certain clubs pedal to try and create something that simply isn't true.
Liverpool a club that promotes youth? What a joke. Other than Alexander Arnold i cant think of one player from their youth setup in the last decade that has done anything. Promoting Klopp as a champion on youth is utter rubbish, but jut like their famous atmosphere, their fans live behind a veil of cultish myths and lies.
How many appearances (including sub appearances) have so called youth team players made for Liverpool this season excluding alexander-arnold (he's been a regular first team starter for 2 seasons now).Who said anything about promoting?

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is also speaking to the media now and was asked about Jurgen Klopp's earlier comments that there are too many games for top-flight players.
"I agree," he said. "If we have bigger squads, how do we pay them? We need less fixtures, less competitions, more recovery.
"But I have been in meetings and it's always the same. We just talk about it.
"I'm completely with Jurgen when he makes these statements, It's too much. I had to prioritise Ilkay Gundogan for the last game - no Kevin [de Bruyne], no Silva. Other clubs do the same."

Pep agrees with Jurgen..... might be some people on here not too happy with that stance!
Hardly likely to say Jurgen is a hypocritical lying cnut , is he ? FFS
Haha! What’s this ‘we’ business?Well no, but then based on those comments. I don't think Pep thinks the same way you do.
Pep has also said 'We need less fixtures, less competitions'
So I imagine if we were in the same situation next year, Pep would also be unhappy at the scheduling. I don't know what the answer is, The League Cup has been around for many years, to just toss it aside would feel wrong to me. But it's safe to say, many other teams in Liverpool's position now would also be airing their con
