FA Cup big time, by saying he is going to play the boys in the replay, and not even manage the team. Talk about throwing the toys out of the pram, at the first set back of the season yesterday, he is acting like a spoilt child. It is like can I have my ball back, we didn`t win yesterday.
Supporters will pay good money for the replay just to watch a reserve team match. Totally out of order. If he doesn`t want to be in the FA Cup, just hand the match over to Shrewsbury now. The players all had a mid season break yesterday, none of them started, so what`s with the big sulk.
I expect Spurs to go absolutely full strength in the replay against Southampton, with 50,000 paying customers expecting that at the very least. The FA Cup is still the biggest club cup competition in world football in my opinion, and any manager or club trying to disrespect it should just keep their mouths shut, and get on with doing what they are supposed to be doing and managing their club in EVERY game their club plays.
This is a very poor show by Klopp, and Mr MgGoo is showing that at the first sign of a setback, he cannot handle it. If you don`t like our competitions Klopp, you can always leave, nobody is forcing you to stay and manage in our competitions that have over a century and a half of unbelievable history.
Football should not just be about three or four elite clubs, and their ridiculous demands, football is about all the teams, and all the supporters. The time to fight back against this nonsense has to stop. Most of the big clubs have unbelievably big squads now, so there is no excuse to having to play the boys. It is a kop out by managers. Most modern players play so few games now compared to their counterparts of yesteryear. And they are apparently, so we are told said to be twice as fit as any footballer from the 20th century, so why can they not manage more than one game a week?

I think wants to be unbeaten in the league and demolish the gooners record. I give him credit for that. IF they go unbeaten they will/should be regarded as the best ever Premier League team. Hurts to say it but it's true.

Don't agree with that at all.

Kop played his reserves against a full strength Everton team and won. He can do what he likes. Next !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Very different situation, still alot of top players, a full house and he turned up.
The youth team showed us where they are at against Villa.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fairplay but you were also playing in Qatar as well so that situation was unique too.

Yes it was and I think the game should of been moved.
However this time its their own fault for not winning yesterday and rather than disrespect Shrewsbury Klopp should stop acting like a baby by turning up and putting a half decent team out.

I don't really see it as disrespecting Shrewsbury, they'll still get their big payday but now have the added bonus of even more chance of making the next round with a famous win at Anfield.
I wouldn't right off our kids just yet anyway. 3/4 of the better ones were missing against Villa as they were in Qatar, and it was never a 5-0 game.
I wouldn't be that surprised if the kids beat Shrewsbury to be honest.

No issue with this, how will fringe and youth players ever get a chance in a big side that is successful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is OK, but then you charge supporters accordingly, say £5 for entry, as most youth team games are charged.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think FA rules allow that.
Even non league have to charge more than that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Think prices can be set at any price for the cups, it just has to be agreed by both teams. Could be wrong.

I don't have a problem with him 'playing the kids' but for him to rest himself is ridiculous. Nothing against the man, he has built a great side, but to moan about a replay because he picked a weak side and then throw his toys out of the pram is childish in the extreme. He knows there are 38 games a season, two domestic cups and possibly a throwaway plate at the start of a season. That's the same since I can remember. He prays no doubt, for a good run in the CL so why keep moaning, get over yourself and accept that is a smokescreen for your disappointment at being held by a team tens of places below you.

Yeh, non league I'm almost certain that isn't the case but could be for the pros I suppose.

Mourinho is disrespecting the FA cup by serving up a shower of football by a shower of a Spurs team.

To be honest, I don't blame him. Everybody in the PL was made aware of the winter break and it is the FA that have decided that these fixtures are going to be played within the winter break that has been designated from the PL clubs. It's just a complete balls up from FA if you ask me.
Klopp will have probably played the kids again regardless of when the fixture is. I don't really agree that he shouldn't manage the team, but in fairness, they have been told to respect this winter break and that will mean more to him than a poxy FA Cup replay at home to Shrewsbury, no disrespect intended.
I don't agree with changing ticket prices based off who plays anyway, that's wrong. Whether they are 17 or 37, they are still representing Liverpool Football Club, so you pay the same no matter what. I understand prices are astronomical in a lot of cases, but that's not the point. If this was the case clubs would be changing their ticket prices all the time. Clubs like Bournemouth for example, "we've lost 7/8 games, tickets are only £2 now" or "we've won our last 3 games and play Liverpool at home next, £40". That's probably even more unfair on the fans.
