Yeah, if it increases our chances of winning it then I’m all in favour. They’ll presumably get past Shrewsbury anyway so he might well start playing a strong team again once it gets to the quarter finals.

On the subject of Liverpool and respect, I see their women's team manger has had a pop at Tranmere's pitch after their second game there in three weeks was called off.
Yeah, Tranmere, get off you're arses and spend a few quid! It's one thing for your first team to have to play on that, but for an important club, European royalty no less, it just won't do!

Liverpool were happy to pay the "hush money "and city seemed satisfied taking it so it would seem the matter was resolved to both parties satisfaction.
So the sport’s governing body should just ignore industrial scale cheating? Christ the game really is morally bankrupt.

I'll try to summarize what Jürgen said at the presser.
- Klopp said that he took the decision to give the players a break, three weeks ago. In the case of a replay, the replay would be in the middle of this break. Unfortunately it was a replay, but his decisions stands.
- Regarding the fact that Klopp will not coach the youth team, he made the point that it is Critchleys team, not his. Now that the decision has been made to play the youth team, they have to have the coaches available that are best suited to lead the team.
- Klopp went on a rant that FA, FIFA, UEFA and the Clubs need to talk to each other. It can't go on like this, with more an more games each season and with expansions planned for both World Cup of Clubs and the Champions League. They will have to think about the players, at some point, and not just business.
I have nothing wrong with any of that tbh, managers do need to make a stand with regards to the amount of games. Liverpool could push for the treble now the league is sown up but if he runs his players into the ground he is risking injuries in a cup with is 3rd choice behind the prem and champs league.

TBF he's spot on.
There's far too much football, and we certainly are seeing the ramifications of players never having more than a coupld of weeks off, in between leagues, international tournaments, pre-season tours etc etc

I don’t think many people will argue too much with what he says, it’s more the free ride he will get saying it.
Can you Imagine us doing this? There’d be outrage. If he made this decision weeks ago then maybe put out a good team in the first game...

Yes but make sure it's offset against you selling something to keep the net spend down [emoji6]On the subject of Liverpool and respect, I see their women's team manger has had a pop at Tranmere's pitch after their second game there in three weeks was called off.

The way Klippety exhausts his players , by playing the same nine or ten players simply means they cannot sustain a 70 game season , all his bullshit and excuses are a smokescreen his team can only compete for two competitions and mickey mouse cups that take a couple of games to win , we played over 60 games last season treated every competition with equal respect and won three out of the four. Which is a far bigger achievement than the Dippers managed , but the cup they won was the glamaourus UEFA glory glory tournament , but you can guarantee when they win their first Premier league title , it will be elevated to the one that really matters "this means more".
If there isn't a record and History to be made up, the Daily Mail will make it up.
Liverpool could break the record for the youngest FA Cup side in HISTORY when their Under 23s take on Shrewsbury... but which Premier League teams have put out the most youthful sides in the competition?

I think this is part of a larger power play by 'big' clubs vs the FA.
5th round of the FA Cup has already gone to midweek and no replay.
This will just be ammunition to drop 4th round replays and make the league cup semifinal one leg.
That's where the 'big' clubs want this to go, and it's not going to be let go. It's obnoxious, and against the good of English football as a whole.

Maybe naive but it still amazes me that the other clubs don't tell Liverpool etc to just fuck off. All part of football's feudal system I guess where the peasants tug their forelocks and take what they are given.

I think that Klopp's football is more demanding than City's, no doubt. But I think there is more to the youth rotation than that.
One of the very first things that Klopp did at the club, was to get involved with the academy. He set up a system where the first team worked much more closely with the academy, and where all u23 players gets a clear path to the first team. But in order for it to work, there has to be a way for youth players to get first team experience - both training and matches.
It is very similar to what he did for us at Dortmund. I think Klopp sees the domestic cups as a perfect way to give youth players experience.

I really cant believe liverpool have been allowed to show so much disrespect to Shrewsbury and the fa. I cant think of any over club that would be given a free ride by the press/media. Robbing those Shrewsbury players of a big night because the first team are on holiday bloody disgrace.
A premiership squad of 25 millionaires isnt enough for liverpool to try and win the fa cup how big does klopp want his squad ?

The cup lineups that you've fielded look a million miles away from the first team... you're getting a free pass in the media for not having enough depth to mount a challenge in all competitions. We'd have been slaughtered in the media if we'd done similar, just like we were a few years ago when we fielded a young team in the FA cup against Chelsea.
Puts into context City's achievement of the clean sweep of domestic titles last year, not that the media have given us any credit for it.

The FA should have booted them out of the competition for this tbh. but that's just never going to happen as we know.
