Klopp: You don’t take the FA Cup seriously enough!

There is no time for training, only recovery, the game is our only session in the week to be honest.

“The problem is that, in this situation, we speak about the intensity of my style”.

Klopp, who revealed Coutinho will be out for the rest of the month with his hamstring injury, also claimed it was a myth that his philosophy is just to make his players run.

“When I came here everybody said “he’s German champion” and nobody has spoken about the fact that we won the 2012 double”.

Klopp admitted he was undecided on whether to bring more players back from loan as cover for the growing injury list, but hinted he would like the club’s youngsters to continue their education at Anfield in future. Maybe the first game at Tottenham was more intensive than other games. We don’t have too many centre-backs, so it is an idea. “Football is not all about more, it is more about thinking quicker and being quicker in the right position”.

He is 36 now and the pace of old has left his legs yet if anybody is wondering why Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale might be tempted to throw Clinton Morrison into the fray during tonight’s televised FA Cup third-round tie against Liverpool, just type Morrison’s name and Stevenage into YouTube and click search.

Tiago Ilori, who has been recalled early from a season’s loan at Aston Villa without ever playing for the Birmingham side, could finally make his full Reds debut two-and-a-half years after signing.

Morrison soon added a second goal for the side he joined in November 2014 by scoring the first of their FA Cup campaign in a victory over Didcot Town – Exeter’s first step en route to tonight’s fixture at a sold-out St James Park.

“The team which will play will want to win this game for sure, but it will be a team that hasn’t played too often together”. The full-backs Connor Randall and Brad Smith, the midfielders João Carlos Teixeira and Cameron Brannagan and the goalkeeper Adam Bogdan could start. That is not possible.

“I am very wary of the amount of work we do in the week now in the hope that our players have enough energy to do the running they need to do in this period of time to try to get a result, and we are all suffering because of it”.

It would actually be hilarious, if only it weren’t for the fact we’re probably ripe for an FA Cup upset tomorrow and we play both Man United and Arsenal at Anfield in the next ten days.
