A fantastic learning experience for our plucky youngsters. Some of them may never start at Anfield again and Klopp doing the noble thing and magnanimously participating has fulfilled a lifelong dream for some of these.
Had we simply pulled out, the media would have been right to batter us for cowardice and entitlement. Never pull out is the life lesson here.
Also, we had about 5-6 kids who would have started tonight if not for injuries. And people say we are fortunate with injuries.
Now we won't have to bother with the least of trophies any more for the season and villa fans get to tell their kids years from now about that time they beat Liverpool 5-0 at Anfield when Liverpool was the best team in the world. All in all, a terrific night for the beautiful game.
