No ... even though I like the facthe showed the competition some respect. At the same time I can also understand Klopp's decision due to impending cup semi-final & knowing 6 games still in January prior to replay. Dec/Jan always a busy time & managers must do what they see fit.
I sense a League Two 5th place team pulling a huge upset!! Tottenham Hotspur (blech_dawgs) v Wycombe Wanderers (Aviators)
