Does Henderson's heel problem potentially have anything to do with what Fergie said about him running funny? Thought it a strange comment at the time but there must have been some logic behind it...

Talk about Ibe also being out until February due to his ... hamstring.

Seems that's true Ibe also injured.

In addition the 2 main U21 centre halves are also injured too.

There was talk of possibly swapping Jones with Stones.

Just the idea of having Jones in Merseyside has fecked up Liverpool.

That many hamstring injuries seems unlikely to be a coincidence in spite of Klopp downplaying it. For once, Allardyce might be speaking some sense.

Course we do, it's Liverpool they're shite.

It can't be worse than Moyes declaring them favourites at OT - that was a waking nightmare of epic proportions.

All the extra pressing was probably not a great idea considering the players haven't been conditioned over the pre-season to suit this style of play.

They play again tonight and Arsenal/United within the next 9-10 days. I can see the remaining players being totally knackered by the end of next week.

I think you need to manage your pain better"

Breaking News: Sturridge misses next 20 games.

"I'm fed up of the word hamstring"

Plays his first team squad in cup first leg. Injuring Ibe, Coutinho and Lovren in the process.

This guys fecking brilliant. I know nothing about football, but genuinely can see a million mistakes in his style. He's not only doing average so far but he's shortening Liverpool players careers

Jurgen Klopp risks humiliation against Exeter as he vows to play the kids after Liverpool suffer 28 separate injuries since his arrival

Jurgen Klopp will name an unrecognisable Liverpool team on Friday night but insists he is not being disrespectful to the FA Cup.

Liverpool's tie at League Two side Exeter City, which is live on BBC television, is one of the most enticing fixtures of the third round but Klopp will pick a severely weakened starting line-up with no household names because of an injury crisis.

He is without 12 first-team regulars and the German — whose side face Arsenal and Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League next week — knows he faces criticism.

Klopp said: 'None of the players who played the last five or six games in a row will play at Exeter. It is not possible. We can try to make a team. It is not easy, but we will find one. I have to make the right decision for Liverpool and for my team. I have to make changes.

'The team that plays will want to win 100 per cent but it won't be a team that has played together often. If someone wants to write a headline (about lacking respect), it is not the truth. We respect the FA Cup. That is one reason for the team we will play.

'It is a chance for Exeter and they have to take it. That's football. Our squad is big with all the young players and we have to use this quality now.'

Friday night's match is Liverpool's 10th in 37 days and, under those physical demands, Klopp feels he cannot gamble on fielding his fit senior players, given they have another four games before the end of this month.

Klopp has recalled youngsters Sheyi Ojo, Ryan Kent and Kevin Stewart from loans at Wolves, Coventry and Swindon respectively, and Tiago Ilori had his loan with Aston Villa cancelled on Thursday. All four will be involved at St James Park, while Jose Enrique will play his first game since January last year.

Since the former Borussia Dortmund boss took over at Liverpool in October, his squad have suffered 28 separate injuries. The latest casualties are forward Philippe Coutinho and defender Dejan Lovren, who damaged hamstrings at Stoke on Tuesday.

Coutinho is expected to be sidelined for up to a month, while Lovren could be back for the trip to Norwich on January 23. Kolo Toure and Jordon Ibe will stay on Merseyside this weekend to recover from their exertions at Stoke.

Outspoken former Wales coach Raymond Verheijen has pointed the finger at Klopp's management for the number of hamstring issues his players suffer.

And Klopp responded on Thursday: 'I don't have a good memory for bad things. It is not too complicated to find that we had a bad situation last season in Dortmund.

'I always feel a responsibility for this but you can only change what you can change. You accept the situation. The problem is if you start with too many injuries, you cannot react because of the number of games. It can happen.

'There is only one team in the Premier League who have had the same schedule as us — Tottenham. But they didn't have the last game because they are out of the Capital One Cup.

'If we had not played on Tuesday then Phil and Dejan are still in the race and we have something like a normal situation. If we could have changed (players in games) more often, no one would have had this intensity, but you cannot have 40 or 50 players.'

Ilori, the Portugal Under 21 defender, has returned but Klopp will press ahead with plans to sign experienced cover on loan. Dortmund's Neven Subotic and Andrea Ranocchia of Inter Milan are possible targets.

Liverpool have also loaned out 15 players — including £20million winger Lazar Markovic to Fenerbahce — and there will be no repeat of that policy.

Klopp said: 'The best skill and the biggest talents should be in your club so they can play together and develop as a team. If they make big steps then pick them, so you need them around you.

'Now we are bringing them back and it is a big chance for the boys, but there is no pressure because they are so young.

'If they do well they can make the next step quickly but if not they have time. We want to work with them and we will see what happens.'

A lot of people commented on this while he was Dortmund.
Basically for 3-4 seasons he ran his players into the ground by playing a very physical game. After this initial period of good results, the players were "knackered" and essentially needed replacing as their bodies were finished (injured/tired). Perhaps this is the tactic he is attempting to implement at LFC.

Dortmund also had a lot of injuries when he was manager. Worrying trend for Pool fans?

Wierd, I listened to his interview on Football focus and ha came across quite well. Strange how I can value a Liverpool managers' personality over a United manager for the first time ever. Probably need to get some counselling
