Kampusbet ~ " Jurgen Klopp takes full responsibility for Exeter draw and vows to field Liverpool youngsters in replay "
Agen TangKasneT ~ Jurgen Klopp took full responsibility for Liverpool's near-humiliation - as his team of innocents snatched a late draw to avoid an FA Cup exit against League Two Exeter.
Klopp
included eight inexperienced youngsters in his starting line-up and saw
them fall behind twice before the break - with keeper Adam Bogdan
blundering to allow Lee Holmes a goal directly from a corner.
But young Aussie full-back Brad Smith equalised 17 minutes from time -meaning Liverpool now face yet another fixture, with an Anfield replay in 11 days' time.
Klopp
, who has 12 senior pros out injured, said: "If you want to criticise
somebody, criticise me and leave the players alone - these players tried
all they could but if they made mistakes, it's myresponsibility.
"It's
the responsibility of all coaches of Liverpool FC and not the players. I
picked them and said 'come and help us in this moment' and they did,
2-2, go home, next game.
It was not as good as they can do but good enough for a draw."
And
Klopp admits he will send out the kids again for the replay on January
20.He said: "Of course it's difficult. We have two other games against
Arsenal and Man United and then the replay is after that.
If the
situation doesn't change we will play the same team or a little bit
different with other young players.
Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT ~ "I can't change it. So we
have to try now to give the intensity to different players. We have to
try it in the FA Cup and accept what happens.
"We had more games
than some other teams because we're still in the Capital One Cup, we
played the Europa League. And the main problems we have is because our
centre-halves are injured at this moment.
We tried to get a line-up together under time pressure. We trained
together yesterday, then on the morning of the match for 40 minutes we
tried to create a common plan - it was not too good but not toobad.
"Their
second goal was something like a miracle that the ball went in and then
in an atmosphere like this and with legs getting tired....
"But
we were here to go through to the next round, it wasn't 100 per cent-
but it was 50 per cent - so now we have another game at Anfield. It is
what it is - but I cannot believe we have another game."
Exeter had led through an early Tom Nicholls opener before Liverpool teenager Jerome Sinclair swiftly equalised.
Exeter
boss Paul Tisdale admitted: "I didn't know all of their players but
they were wearing Liverpool shirts, they had been signed by Liverpool
and they means they must be good footballers.
"Of course a replay
will be good for the club but I am coming away disappointed that we
didn't win because we had enough chances."
