Liverpool: Fans slam Shrewsbury Town’s Supporters Club after accusing Jurgen Klopp of lacking respect

Loads of Liverpool fans mocked the Shrewsbury Town Supporter’s Club after they criticised Jurgen Klopp’s decision to not attend their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Anfield.

The German tactician made the call after the 2-2 draw at New Meadow that U23s boss Neil Critchley would be in the dugout for the domestic rematch, as he intends to field a similar squad that lost 5-0 to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup. The Reds were due to play their Club World Cup semi-final against Monterry the day after so the first team flew out to the Middle East. On this occasion, Klopp insisted that his team will take their two-week winter break that they were told to respect.

A spokesman from the supporter’s club told Sky Sports that thousands of Shrews fans will miss out on seeing the Champions League-winning manager at Anfield in the flesh, which they deem to be ‘disrespectful’. However, they did describe the reduction of ticket prices as “fair”. Supporters mocked them as a result and made their feelings clear on social media.

They clearly don’t respect the winter break

There is no lack of respect. This winter break is crucial for Jürgen and the boys. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. We are not in a situation where we can afford any more injuries to valuable first team players. The second leg will be a boost for the younger lads.
