Apparently their owner - no I don’t know who he is either - has taken it upon himself to declare that our manager, the same chappie, like all other PL managers, who were informed some two months ago to have the first of ongoing winter breaks, is wrong, should be prosecuted, hung drawn and quartered, you know the rest, for having the audacity to follow the PL/FA instructions and give his players a break.
As a result, neither Jurgen nor our top guns, not even some of the shower who played yesterday will be at the replay.
I’m all for freedom of speech, expression etc., but if that is Jurgen’s decision, in accordance with the letter from the PL/FA, again, I don’t care either, then the man from AS can take a hike.
Alternatively, he can gather a group of professionals, get some cash, recruit and train young players, get promotion through the leagues, you never know he might end up World Club Cup Champions, Champions League winners, PL winners.
Even then I wouldn’t bother my Harris listening to him. Some people just never grow up.

You don't need an apostrophe for commas.

We really need a break for our top players because from what I saw from the game against United was we were flagging near the end because of the sheer effort put in and so we deserve it.

On one hand it’s hard to argue against the point Klopp is making - a winter break that teams should respect only for the authorities to arrange a game during said break. On that basis alone it’s ridiculous, and on that basis Klopp is right to draw attention to it.
On the other hand, no one else is complaining about it and just getting on with it. And the break is for the players, so by all means let the players have a break, but Klopp should still manage the team for the game in question.
As far as the FA Cup is concerned, so many different parties are to blame for its demise from a respected and valued cup competition. Playing semi finals at Wembley, playing the final on the same day as other league fixtures just being two reasons why the authorities (ie the FA) have made a rod for their own back. Teams playing weakened sides are also to blame. And fans are also due to dwindling attendances in the competition (the FA cup used to draw bigger crowds than league games 20 or so years ago)
It’s such a shame and the blame for it can be aimed towards so many different factions within the game. Had it not been diminished so much already, I doubt Klopp would have made the stance that he has. That it has been diminished so much is probably why Klopp felt justified in doing what he’s doing. No one cares about it anymore, so why should he? Especially when he’s arguing against the authorities own stance in regards to a winter break (which would always have a detrimentAl affect on the FA Cup given its timing)
I’m with Klopp on this.
I’m against the devaluing of a competition that has been a staple of English football, before even league football came to be.
And that devaluing has nothing to do with Klopp.
Everyone is to blame for that.

The cup for me lost its value when u had championship teams playing weakened sides. I mean come on championship teams.
