Wolves 2-1 Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp insists he did NOT disrespect FA Cup despite making nine changes
Jurgen Klopp has defended his decision to make nine changes to Liverpool’s starting line-up for their FA Cup third round clash at Wolves – which they ended up losing.The Reds were beaten 2-1 at Molineux to be dumped out the world’s oldest cup competition, and make it back-to-back defeats after their Premier League loss to Manchester City last week.Klopp opted to rest a number of Liverpool’s regular starters – Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah were all among the substitutes – and he handed debuts to Curtis Jones and Rafael Camacho.Camaco and Jones made their debuts against Wolves1

Ki-Jana Hoever, the 16-year-old defender, was also introduced from the bench after just five minutes due to Dejan Lovren suffering an injury.Wolves took advantage of Liverpool’s inexperience to triumph, with Ruben Neves sealing the win with a superb long-range strike, after Divock Origi had earlier cancelled out Raul Jimenez’s opener.

Klopp has since been accused of disrespecting the FA Cup by refusing to name his strongest team, but the German insists he was forced into most of his changes.He said: “I’m not sure what you all would have said if our centre-half situation (from the start) was Fabinho and Ki-Jana, probably a few smart people would have told me I don’t respect the competition.“It doesn’t make sense to bring a 16-year-old boy from the start but he came on and did well.“I changed a lot because we have to, not because I wanted to. “After the City game we had immediately a few players who were ill with a sore throat. Pretty much all the players who weren’t here today had little problems.“Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson were in our plans. Dejan was not in our plans, he was only supposed to be on the bench.
