Lineker pulls no punches over Klopp’s Liverpool line up

Gary Lineker: Set to present MOTD in his underpants

Gary Lineker has criticised Jurgen Klopp for fielding a reserve team after they were knocked out of the FA Cup at home to Championship strugglers Wolves.

Klopp was left with egg on his face after the Reds crashed out of their second cup competition in a matter of days with a  2-1 defeat at Anfield.

Liverpool’s only hope of a trophy this season is to wrestle the Premier League title away from Chelsea and Lineker blames Liverpool’s manager for the cup exit.

‘Don’t get Klopp playing his reserves with no European football,’ Lineker tweeted.

‘Shows a lack of knowledge of the depth in English football and respect.

‘It’s not the only circus in town anymore but still special. Don’t understand why you would just chuck it away.

‘Those of us that were footballers still love the darn thing.’

When Lineker was told that it was because Liverpool would play Chelsea and Southampton in the midweeks before and after the tie, he responded: ‘So? You’re out of both competitions. That worth it?
