Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp was RIGHT to play second-string team in Wolves defeat, says Dean Saunders
Dean Saunders has defended Jurgen Klopps team selection at Wolves following Liverpools swift exit from the FA Cup.The Reds became the latest Premier League side to be punished for mass rotation in the third round following a 2-1 defeat at Molineux on Monday night.Jurgen Klopp paid the price for making nine changes at Wolves2
Jurgen Klopp paid the price for making nine changes at Wolves
Klopp admitted he took a risk by making nine changes to his starting XI, with only Dejan Lovren and James Milner keeping their place following the defeat by Manchester City, but former Liverpool striker Saunders insists the German was right to prioritise other competitions.I find it difficult to criticise him [Klopp] because hes got a point, Saunders told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast. The Premier League and the Champions League are the targets for the club.Hes made nine changes, so that team he put out last night has never played with each other before.He did come out and say he took a risk. He changed the goalkeeper, the whole back four was different, Lovren and Milner were the only two that were unchanged.Liverpool are currently four points clear of Man City at the top of the Premier League as they bid to secure a first top-flight title in 29 years.Anfield has not seen a major trophy since 2012, and Klopps FA Cup record makes for fairly dismal reading: the club has not progressed beyond the fourth round in each of the last three seasons.

And while Klopp has insisted the changes were forced and he did not disrespect the competition, Saunders believes there is an argument to suggest foreign managers fail to understand the importance of Englands oldest cup competition.Traditionally, in this country, everybody loves the FA Cup, he added.But then you get managers coming over, foreign managers who probably dont understand how important it is, plus the money thats involved in the Premier League.Leicester were knocked out by League Two Newport on Sunday2

Meanwhile, there were shocks elsewhere as a heavily-rotated Leicester side were beaten 2-1 by League Two side Newport on Sunday.Claude Puel made seven alterations to his starting line-up at Rodney Parade a move which Saunders finds totally bewildering.He added: The likes of Leicester havent got an argument.They cant get relegated, they cant win the league, its the only chance of silverware, and you make seven changes and get beat.
