Klopp already saying it will a full reserve team that take on Shrewsbury in the FA Cup replay.
You really have to feel for those poor boys picking up their millions in wages being asked to play in a football match because they are 'Tired'. It's cheating, plain and simple. If Liverpool don't want to play in the FA or League Cup, then don't enter the competitions.
How many domestic cups have they won in the last thirty years? Five, and only one, yes, one, in the last seventeen years.
Will be glad when they go back to being hammered 6-0 by Stoke City.

Poor show by Liverpool.
They've rightly been showered with praise for being an outstanding side with a great manager but they should be hammered for that.

If someone said to me "we're going to have a mid-season break" at work, then I would be arranging a week away to re-charge my batteries with the family, most likely go away to a sunnier & warmer climate. If my employer then says that I've got to cancel the holiday because of an extra appointment then I think I would be pretty pissed off.

Liverpool playing a weaker team is cheating? Surely that benefits everyone else bar them. Add to the fact there’s a euros and a cops America in the summer a week off could be key for almost all Liverpool players as there is a high chance they will only have 2 weeks max off in the summer. Sadio mane for example has had 2 weeks off in 2 years.

Klopps argument stands up, they were told not to schedule any friendlies by the premier league who wanted to have a winter break to allow player rest, then the governing body break the agreement at the first time of asking by making them play the replay in the middle of the break that they have just agreed?
I think Klopp could attend the replay himself though, he's on shakier ground there.Last edited by hibsbollah; 27-01-2020 at 04:19 PM.

Not Liverpools fault. Read the FA guidelines on the mid season break:
"Clubs should not arrange competitive or friendly matches with other clubs during the mid-season player break"
So why have the FA allowed a competitive match to be played in this time? Completely ridiculous.
There's a lot made about modern players being soft and pampered but I'd bet your current top level footballer plays more minutes than ever before.

Some of the reserve players in the fringes of the squad should be enough to compete and it's a good way for them to assess younger players.
You sound oddly, oddly bitter about Liverpool football club.

Let's remember Shrewsbury Town in all of this. It will put a damper on the replay for their fans and may mean less than a full house at Anfield and less cash for the club
Mind you, even with £100m worth of talent on the pitch, they still could not despatch a lowly third division club.
What is it with Liverpool? Why are they so beyond critisism?

Not sure why Klopp can't be there to manage the team though.

Liverpool are only adhering to the League rules. Not an issue, shame the FA cup is so devalued though. Should be extra time and pens, that would help.

Partly due to nonsense like the club World Cup (mickey mouse money maker) and lucrative pre season tours being prioritised.
Liverpool seem able to bring all their big stars to those.

They got told by the epl not to arrange friendlies for the mental wellbeing of the players during the break, the FA, who stand to make 100s if millions in the summer have told them now to play during that week. I actually think it’s amazing man management by Klopp.
Anfield will still be packed and Shrewsbury will get more tv money and more of a chance to win the tie.

The Premier League say have a week off but surely it is earmarked that FA cup replays will be held on this date. Forward plan just in case!

- Help avoid injuries to key players
- Allows fringe players an opportunity to impress and break through to the first team
- Makes a point about the number of matches that players are expected to play.
Your argument against it:
- They get paid a lot of money which should make them superhuman and impervious to wear and tear.

having loads of money doesn't make you happy. It also doesn't make you immune to injuries so its utter irrelevant. It isn't cheating in the slighest.
They've also won at least 2 domestic cups in the last 17 years so thats also rubbish. 2006 FA Cup and a league cup under Dalglish?
Playing 60 games a season is mental, Klopp quite right to rotate and the results show that. Guy is a genius and managing his squad through a crazy time perfectly.
