A chance of a first trophy under Jurgen Klopp gone or bigger fish to fry?
That's the debate that rages on the Post-Game podcast after Liverpool went down 2-1 at Wolves to exit the FA Cup before the fifth round for the fourth successive season under Jurgen Klopp.
With his side sitting four points clear at the top of the league, the Reds boss made nine changes to the team that started Thursday’s 2-1 loss at title rivals Manchester City.
One of those changes, the Merseyside derby hero Divock Origi, who has been linked with a move to Molineux, brought Liverpool level after Raul Jiminez opened the scoring.
But a superb strike from Ruben Neves, who has been linked with a move to Anfield, ensured that the Reds’ hope of glory this season now rest in the Premier League and the Champions League.
But was Klopp right to prioritise those competitions?
Our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce has his say before we hear from the seven Reds fans who have phoned into the show – Graham Agg, Nathan Davidson, Ross Strachan, Matt Addison, Matt Whitty, Sam Planche and Simon Donnelly.
And sandwiched between that is every word Klopp had to say in his post-match press conference, including his reaction to the injury to Dejan Lovren that led to 16-year-old Ki-Jana Hoever making an impressive debut. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
