Jamie Carragher questions Jurgen Klopp’s FA Cup replay decision

Reds legend Jamie Carragher believes that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp should lead his young team in next week’s FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town at Anfield.

The Reds left the New Meadow on Sunday with a 2-2 draw. Liverpool managed to gain a 2-0 lead throughout the match.

Curtis Jones scored the Reds’ first goal early in the first-half, which was then followed by a Donald Love own goal early in the second-half.

However, a brace from Shrewsbury’s Jason Cummings in the second-half saw the match finish at 2-2, meaning Klopp’s side are forced into a replay.

Klopp has absolutely no intentions of playing any of the senior players, as he is looking to honour the inaugural Premier League winter break.

Klopp also stated that Neil Critchley, who is Liverpool’s under-23 manager, will take charge of the young side that face Shrewsbury Town in the replay.

Carragher has stated that he has no issue with Klopp resting his senior players, but he does have an issue with Klopp not being the manager for the match.

Senior players having a winter break is right, you can’t implement one & then have a replay in the break. That’s the same for all PL clubs. But Klopp should take the team, his young players will be delighted & the picture of him in Ibiza with a will be on every front page! https://t.co/l1h92byye2

Carragher is spot on in regards to Klopp resting his senior players, especially when one considers that they are going for the Premier League title.

The last thing the club need is an injury to a key player in an FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town.

There is an argument to be made that Klopp should be in attendance for the game. However, perhaps he also needs a break.
