The result was surely never in doubt, Liverpool’s tenth string should be winning. I’m also not sure it disrespected the competition, it’s far too late for that, but it was insulting to their own customers.

I don’t think any Liverpool supporter gives a sh*t in the grand scheme of things. I don’t think anyone would have really gave a sh*t if Everton had knocked us out in the last game. It’s all about being best prepped for the league and CL. At least this season where we are desperate to win the league (in the bag) and making a third final on the trot also goes a long way to cementing this sides legacy, many multiple times over compared to winning an fa Cup

Agreed. Fair enough giving the players a break, he's not the first manager to do, and they deserve the chance to recover, especially if the reserves are more than capable of winning games, which they have proven they are. But this "it's not his team" line is bullsh*t. He's the manager of the club. If Pep had pulled this stunt he'd be vilified for it. But because Klopp is a character he gets away with it.

What Klopp chose to do was 100% wrong. But he has massive kudos with the fans for their domination in the league. He can pretty much do as he likes

Klopp giving the players a promised break is fair enough. The FA should have scrapped the replays to avoid this anyway but that’s for another day.
He could have let the U23 manager still be manager but fly in for the game and sit on the bench to show his support. That’s leadership, that’s showing respect to the fans who have paid money. If Jose done it there would be a lot more uproar.

Probably not, but the vast majority are blinkered in their thinking and, in Liverpool, and all the other big franchises cases, this doesn’t impact on the vast majority of them. That doesn’t change the disdain he has shown here.

Great performance from a team with an average age of 19 I think. Van Den Berg at the back was solid. Williams & Jones look like they're comfortably slot into the first 11 if needed. Hard to believe Elliot is only 16, crazy.

It's defeating the purpose. It's a winter break. Liverpool should not be playing any games during this period. Any other week of the season and Kloppwwohis players would be present as usual. Hopefully the FA wil get the point, but somehow I doubt it.

Very strange that so many gave out about Liverpool's first team players and Klopp not being involved in this match. There was an agreement for a winter break, and I presume the FA were part of or at least informed about this break.
So the whole issue is around scheduling which Klopp is rightly highlighting by not being at the game. Who in their right mind fixtures replays during a winter break. It's the kind of sh*te you would have expected from a John Delaney ran gombeen FA. Agree with Planning completely (I feel grimey now
) |

Tbf, Shrewsbury and the other 71 EFL clubs aren't on a winter break. Nor are half the PL clubs, either (at least not yet). And all this could have been avoided had LFC put out a winning team in the original game. More generally, the problem is really that successful clubs like LFC are being asked to play ever more high-intensity games these days. And blame for that cannot be laid solely at the hands of the FA, not least because they have progressively reduced the number of FA Cup games (eg fewer replays etc) and rescheduled to midweek, whilst UEFA, for instance, are increasing CL games. Add to that the fact that the PL, for whom LFC has an equal vote with the other teams, has never reduced its membership to 18 teams (i.e. 4 fewer PL games), as originally promised. Above all, it's a bit rich for LFC to be complaining about fatigue and overplaying etc, just a few months after they flew all the way out to the USA in July for pre-season friendlies in Indiana, Massachusetts* and New York. For the second year running. * - Fenway Park, to be precise. That name ring a bell for any Liverpool fans?

During pre-season you play pre-season friendlies.
During a pre-arranged and agreed upon break, you dont. Simples. You can argue all you want. I agreed with Utd in 2000 aswell.

Yeah, but you don't have to fly 8,000 miles to and from a different time zone to do so, which was my point. You know, fatigue and all that.

Nobody isn't going to pretend that these pre-season tours aren't to a large extent about money. But the reason Liverpool are going back to the US is Klopp has insisted on it - He wants them to be away and given the facilities available to them in the US over other parts of the world, he told FSG he wanted the States over Asia, Australia. Fatigue doesn't come into it as teams set their own pre-season schedules.
