Liverpool legend Carragher supports Klopp in FA Cup row

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher supports manager Jurgen Klopp in his protest against their FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town.

The Reds will meet the Shrews for a second time at Anfield next week after the League One side secured a surprise 2-2 draw against the Premier League leaders in Sunday's fourth-round clash.

With the game set to take place in the middle of Liverpool's scheduled winter break, Klopp revealed that the club will field a team made of youngsters and will be led by Under-23s manager Neil Critchley.

Former Reds defender Carragher tweeted: "Senior players having a winter break is right, you can't implement one and 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 and the picture of him in Ibiza with a beer will be on every front page!"
