Jurgen Klopp is a disgrace. After watching his side throw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Shrewsbury, Klopp told the media that he would field a team “of kids” in the replay, and that even he himself would not be present for the match.
After revealing that he will snub Liverpool’s FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town, manager Jurgen Klopp has been labelled a disgrace in an astonishing attack.

“…Jurgen, Liverpool you’re embarrassing yourself. You’re tarnishing your reputation. Rethink where you go from here. You’re killing the FA Cup. There’s calls to kill Carabao Cup. You’re killing us.”
