The FA Cup is still a good tournament and of course has given us some of our most memorable moments in the last 20 years, but it's not a priority this season so I'm not too arsed about it. Neither is Jurgen by the looks of it.

Can't blame Jurgen for being livid at us not beating Shrewsbury in the first game. That performance was one of the worst I've seen from us in years, and it was a pretty strong lineup considering who we were playing. Had the team done what was expected we wouldn't be having this fallout over the replay. 

It's really been the first major headache of the season, caused by a League One team!

Totally agree. The FA Cup only becomes a priority the further you go in it and reference to how good \ bad you're doing in whatever league you're in or, if you're a club that 'just needs to win any trophy' to end a drought.

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with the FA Cup has completely missed the point.

 

Firstly, there is no guarantee that we win it, even if we focused all our efforts (which is never going to happen). 

 

Secondly, we know we can win the two big ones because of what happened last season.

 

Thirdly, and most importantly, Klopp is trying to make a fucking point here, and he's getting his message across loud and clear. The fact is, this is the only real opportunity he has to do so, seeing as the Villa game made fuck all difference.

 

He's been banging on about this for a number of years, and realised playing a second string and getting knocked out 3rd or 4th round is par for the course.

 

The reason he's so popular with his players is because he stands up for them and is willing to go the extra mile for them. Just like they do in return for him.
