(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has defended his decision to use his under-23 squad against Shrewsbury Town in their FA Cup fourth-round replay, and said the Football Association did not consult 'sports-responsible people' over dates for the game.

The decision has attracted criticism, with Accrington Stanley owner Andy Holt calling for Liverpool to be fined. "If people think I am lazy because I am not there, I cannot change that and I'm not interested. I just feel responsible for my players. If we find a way to play it then nothing will change and we have to change it."Critchley took charge of a young Liverpool side in their League Cup defeat by Aston Villa when the first-team were in Qatar for the Club World Cup."But that again is a complete misunderstanding of management and coaching. They need their coach and it is Critch.
"No sports-responsible people were there. Not a club, not a manager, not a sporting director and that's what we need."
