Twitter reacts to Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury Town

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be furious as his side surrendered a two-goal lead against League One side, Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup 4th round at New Meadow. Klopp made 11 changes to the team that won away at Wolves, with Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren making their return from injury.

Youngster Curtis Jones continued from where he left off to give his side the lead after 15 minutes. The Reds dominated for the majority of the half and looked to have settled the tie when Donald Love scored at the wrong end to double the Merseysiders’ lead.

A spirited fightback from Shrewsbury ensured that the game went into a replay. Jason Cummings scored twice in the space of ten second-half minutes for an unlikely comeback.

The teams will now face off at Anfield on 5th February. The replay will coincide with Liverpool’s winter break and Klopp has confirmed that no first-team stars will be involved in the fixture. Under-23 manager Neil Critchley will manage the side for the replay.

Poor performance. Probably not the type of pitch to be playing out of the back from. Credit to Shrewsbury, 2-0 down to make it 2-2, but prior to that they really came at Liverpool.

Liverpool looking half asleep, only leader you can see from our 11 is @curtisjr_10. Fabinho, Matip, Lovren really could be doing more to sure up the defence #LFC #Shrewsbury

No winter break for #LFC now. Lacklustre performance, far too sloppy. Shrewsbury throughly deserve their day at Anfield. Worst case scenario for Klopp.

FT: Shrewsbury 2 #LFC 2. The nightmare result for Klopp. A replay at Anfield. The Reds only have themselves to blame after a wretched second-half display. Cummings’ double leading the hosts’ fightback. Youngsters can hold their heads high after that, senior players not so much. pic.twitter.com/rap4Prk78e

Aware this sounds like spin, but FA Cup replay for #LFC no disaster – as comes at good time, because there’ll be at least 6 players coming back from injury (including Shaqiri, Keita, Milner) who’ll actually need a game when there’s supposed to be a winter break. Klopp cunning?!
