Tennis players play every other day for 45/48 weeks a year, sometimes every day, sometimes twice a day.
Ice hockey players play every other day.
Liverpool have huge squad, 28, with another 10 out of loan and a team of 24, yes 24 first team staff.
I really don't see a problem with 9 matches in a month with resources like that.
Klopp complains

Let’s note he wasn’t moaning just about Liverpool’s fixtures but in general and he singled out City having to play twice in 48 hours.

Apples and pears.

This.
Not only is it comparing apples and pears, it's doing it in a way where you look at the rotten apples and say, well the pairs are good so the apples should be fine too

Didn’t he say the Xmas fixture list was “a crime”?
Jurgen Klopp?
More like Jurgen Cop!

The Xmas fixture list is stupid, to be fair to him. They have the squad to cope but it doesn't make sense why we do it like this.

He was complaining about fixtures of some teams having to play two matches in 3 days. Which is not Liverpool.
Plus, he's not even the only manager complaining

He's not complaining purely for poor other managers, he's complaining indirectly about Liverpool fixtures too, as they are just as subject to the fixture congestion as others are.

Why only Klopp?

The aim of Prem was to reduce fixtures and improve chances of national team. The reduction in fixtures is offset by increase in European fixtures for top clubs and then there is talk of Prem fixtures to be played in States etc etc
