Then they will have had a couple games experience in first team rather than coming in cold

True, but in theory you can split the group in two and train one side on the Exeter game and the other side on the game after. shoukd have enough coaches to be able to train two different groups of players.
Yeah you'd hope so! It'll still act as a distraction from the more important games though, I'm sure Klopp would rather not have to have the extra fixture.
You could see in his post match interview that the amount of games at the moment he finds shocking.
Who would you have picked?
I was never one to hammer Rodgers, or anyone for that matter, and Klopp doesn't get a free ride from me.
What he does get, is some time. He's been here a few months with someone else's struggling team, so turning against him at this stage would be daft.
He had no alternative than to pick a team like that last night. Most of the usual starters are injured, and we've got a really tough fortnight coming up, so why risk the couple that were available? If he'd have included LaLa and Lucas it would still have largely been a team of kids.We know a lot of those kids are talented and it made sense that they might know a bit more about each other than they would about the senior players.
A game like last night's is always a potential banana skin for a PL team- the line-up was a risk, but one he had to take.
He'll probably play a similar team for the replay, so it doesn't add to the fixture congestion as much as it seems.
That was a very,very good stop from their keeperShould have scored... header from 6 yards out and he hits the keeper
On training for cup game.
Guys.....
This is simple.
You have general training and a few very specific patterns for a specific game.
Keep the whole group together as 13 seniors are hobbling.
Then you tell the kids they stay for second training session for Exeter then the time comes.
The senior players **** off and those playing v Exeter stay together with coaches for another specific session.
Very simple.
When we play arsenal we need enough bodies for 18 guys. All the squad should train for that game.... simple.

Coming from you that's rich.......The bloke that's waiting on the edge of his seat with the everton game on one stream and the man Utd game on another in readiness for a bad result and if you get what you want you're graphs (really sad btw
graphs on the teams you don't support ffs) are updated right on the final whistle and the river Astrocrap doesn't stop running from you're gob for hours
I think there was a tad of Darwinian thinking in Klopp's approach last night.As things now stand, with our injuries and fixture list, there are two big league games coming up, then there's the second leg of a semi that, whilst we're in a good position, we're not in a position that we can afford to do anything but field our strongest side, with Wembley being in touching distance. So the third round of the FA Cup - well, had we put out a full strength side on that quagmire, got another three hamstrings/groin strains/tendon injuries; got a ****e away draw against another Prem side in the next round; forced to field an even more scratch team against Arse, Uniturd and Stoke and our season is effectively over.
Klopp didn't have much choice but to do what he did, though not putting on Lucas and/or Lallana may have been a touch 'Look at the squad' to FSG. God knows the gross spend since they took over in 2010, but this is the depth of the squad? Anyway, it served its purpose - some players, like Smith, showed they can step up now. Others, like Illori and Oji, showed they're worth working on. One or two, for all all their efforts, showed they probably won't cut it at this level, and perhaps we may get offers for them? BUT, what was good was that no-one (apart from one or two senior players) hid away. Jurgen has got to pleased with that.

I agree he scooped it over the bar. Should rewatch ibwt... really.... you are so eager to bash benteke you are not crediting their lad for a save he will boast about for the rest of his life.
There's enough to give benteke without adding digs that make the rest look worse.

So we can expect to see you challenging for the league
You should be challenging for the league now then
[HASHTAG]#whatthefuckhappened[/HASHTAG]
Sure. It's no win.
Exeter got thier big game and a reward of a trip to us which half the crowd there can fit in our place.
We got through it... we can predict fairly well from it that the team v stoke is mostly what will play v arsenal depending on injuries

I might be guilty of the latter, occasionally, but you're flattering yourself if you think most of us do the former. That said, I've no probs with the country watching a live FA cup tie on the BBC and getting behind the 'underdog'. It's what the cup is about.
It was but I still think he should've scored. The keeper shouldn't have had a chance from that sort of distance and his position. I'm not too bothered about it though because headers are always tough to guide into exactly the right area, I'm a lot more worried about his 1v1 misses against Leicester & Sunderland because those are easy chances for top class strikers.
Not you donga but deffo Astrotwerp lol
I can't see you being sad enough to make graphs about teams you don't support either
You should be challenging for the league now then
That's why we sacked our manager, will you do the same when Martinez doesn't challenge?

I've never claimed to be [HASHTAG]#neutral[/HASHTAG]
A massive achievement
2 lucky goals? What was lucky about the first one?
You absolute Ted

I honestly don't know as I don't own the club maybe if he does he'll bump into Klopp in the dole que as you have been quoted as thinking he is ****e maybe you are right for a change
