Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: 'I can't believe we have to play another game'

Jurgen Klopp bemoans Liverpool's FA Cup third-round replay after playing out a 2-2 draw against Exeter City at St James Park.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reacted in disbelief that his team have to play another game following their failure to overcome Exeter City in Friday night's FA Cup third-round tie in Devon.

The Reds, who played just one first-team regular in Christian Benteke at St James Park, came from behind twice, but were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against the League Two outfit.

The result means that Liverpool, who have played four games in nine days, will have to add a third-round replay at Anfield to their busy schedule.

After the match, Klopp told BBC Sport: "[My players] tried everything. We have to be more robust. It was really difficult. It was really difficult on the pitch but Exeter did really well - maybe they know on which part of the pitch it's possible to play football!

"They won too many easy flick-ons, it was really difficult. Both goals were really unlucky for us. We made the draw but we have to play again - I can't believe another game!"

Liverpool's next game is against Arsenal at Anfield next Wednesday.
