Jurgen Klopp has been called "a disgrace" by Accrington Stanley chairman Andy Holt over his pledge not to field Liverpool's first team in their FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury Town.
The Reds have seen their already hectic schedule compounded after a much-changed side were held to a 2-2 draw at New Meadow on Sunday, setting up a rematch on February 4.
With the date falling in the midst of his team’s mid-season break from the Premier League, Klopp expressed his subsequent exasperation at seeing Liverpool’s rest period trimmed from a fortnight to 11 days.
