What Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp thinks about criticism on FA Cup snub

“It was a message that came through, which I have to say was brilliant at that moment.

“Even though we were going off the pitch thinking ‘we’ve played all right there but we’re getting beat 4-0’, it creates that element of doubt in your mind about whether you are doing the right thing and if you need to do something different.

“So, when you get a message from the manager saying ‘don’t change anything, carry on doing what you’re doing, you’ve been brilliant’, it just clears all that doubt in your mind and you can give that message to the players.

“The message killed every doubt, it settled them right down. It helped everyone at that moment.”
