Liverpool’s performance against Wolves slammed as ‘unacceptable’ by talkSPORT host Tony Cascarino
Tony Cascarino has described Liverpools FA Cup defeat to Wolves as unacceptable by the clubs high standards.Ruben Neves’ thunderbolt sealed a 2-1 third-round win for the hosts after Divock Origi had hauled Liverpool level.Raul Jimenez opened the scoring after James Milner’s first-half error and, according to former Chelsea striker Cascarino, Liverpool were thoroughly deserving of their exit after a woeful opening 45 minutes.3

Liverpool were lacklustre in the first-half at Molineux

The first-half was not acceptable for Liverpool Football Club, he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.Passing can go astray, but generally they were second-best and Wolves deserved absolutely everything they got in that first-half.Klopp made nine changes, including handing Curtis Jones and Rafael Camacho their debuts, while 16-year-old defender Ki-Jana Hoever became the club’s third youngest player ever.

He replaced Dejan Lovren, who suffered a hamstring injury after just five minutes to increase Liverpool’s defensive injury issues.However, Cascarino highlighted the performance of experienced striker Daniel Sturridge as a real cause for concern.He added: For someone like Daniel Sturridge, we all thought he was going to be fit for the season, everyone kept saying how sharp he looked – he really wasnt at the races last night.3

Daniel Sturridge struggled against Wolves

But he was one of a few.Klopp outlined he was forced into most of his changes and insisted he did not disrespect the cup.He said: “I’m not sure what you all would have said if our centre-half situation (from the start) was Fabinho and Ki-Jana, probably a few smart people would have told me I don’t respect the competition.3

Jurgen Klopp’s poor record in the FA Cup continued

“It doesn’t make sense to bring a 16-year-old boy from the start but he came on and did well.“I changed a lot because we have to, not because I wanted to.“After the City game we had immediately a few players who were ill with a sore throat. Pretty much all the players who weren’t here today had little problems. “Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson were in our plans. Dejan was not in our plans, he was only supposed to be on the bench.“The intensity of the last few games gave me information it is not possible to start with the three up front.“We have been playing with a similar line-up in some really tough games.”
