Jurgen Klopp's tantrum a result of his own 'dumb' decision: Liverpool manager should have rested all of his key men ahead of Manchester United clash

The Reds have an undeniably hectic schedule, but a foolish team selection against Sparta Prague contributed to Sunday's loss at Old Trafford

Jurgen Klopp was visibly stunned as he stood on the touchline at a raucous Old Trafford. His Liverpool side had lost a game that they should have won - twice: first in normal time; and then again in extra time. It was an utterly avoidable defeat against a struggling side. After a sluggish start that Manchester United exploited, Liverpool had recovered wonderfully well to turn their FA Cup quarter-final tie on its head with two quick goals before the break.

They had numerous chances to kill the game during a second half that they dominated until Antony's 87th-minute equaliser. From that moment on, Liverpool looked exhausted - unsurprisingly. Competing on four fronts was always going to take its toll on an injury-hit squad - which is why Klopp got annoyed when asked during a post-match interview why his side had lacked "intensity" in extra time"Bit of a dumb question, I have to say... We have played I don't know how many games recently. I don't know how many games United exactly have played. That's sport,"When the journalist asked a follow-up about "too many games", Klopp decided he'd had enough and stormed off in a huff.
