Klopp’s style questioned as Liverpool injury woes deepen

It’s also worth noting that Benitez, like Klopp, was also close to clinching a place in the League Cup final so the FA Cup took on slightly less importance than it would have otherwise.

Despite finding some form since Jurgen Klopp replaced Brendan Rodgers at Anfield, Liverpool has seriously suffered this season from a string of long-term injuries to their first-team players.

Liverpool now has 11 players injured, six with hamstring problems. Philippe Coutinho has been ruled out for up to a month with a hamstring injury while Jordon Ibe has also picked up a hamstring problem in training so they’ll miss the Exeter game.

“That is him asking his players to play a high tempo pressing game from the top end”.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has dismissed Sam Allardyce’s criticism of his methods by insisting he is not overloading his players with running.

Klopp said he will not select anyone who has played regularly in their last five games as he wants to keep the core of the squad fresh for the league matches with Arsenal and Manchester United, although he was aware of the risk.

“But that’s all. You have to react to this”. I do not know who will be available.

“I was just trying to say that he hasn’t experience this level of football before and maybe that might be one of the causes”.

In an exclusive with the Daily Mirror, Wagner said of Klopp: “We’re very honest with each other”.

Reds manager Juergen Klopp said he would be forced into fielding a makeshift side owing to injuries to 10 senior players.

“The problem is now people speak about the intensity of my style – I didn’t create a style, how could I?”

I think many can imagine the smile on his face as he delivered the last line…and I imagine many can see the smile on his face should that come to pass tomorrow evening!

“It is not easy, but we will try and find one”.

Could Klopp’s style be too much for the Liverpool players at the moment or do they just need more depth? It is completely normal, average running.

“It is completely normal, average running – football is not all about more, it is more about thinking quicker and being quicker in the right position”.
