"The scenario ought to now not be like this and we can speak this every year," he advised journalists on Monday. "It's way of life and we need to play on Boxing Day, we ought to have performed on Boxing Day and that could were no problem at all. But gambling at the twenty sixth and the twenty eighth is just now not right, I just say that as it's true and I think we can find solutions for that.
"It's not that hard to play soccer in a slightly specific manner. The twenty sixth and the 29th, in which's the hassle?"
Klopp, whose aspect are six points in the back of leaders Manchester City, admitted it's miles a lottery ready to discover if his team were hit by means of greater Covid cases every day. With suits being called off across England's 4 divisions, Klopp said having fewer matches would reduce the danger of spreading the virus.
"It might just assist the players, even with out Covid, and the hassle is now some groups in reality have a right Covid problem at the moment and you rush a smaller group of gamers through two video games," he stated. "You need success in those moments and you should now not want success.
"We do not prevent discussing it due to the fact if we don't talk it, it just stays like this. Maybe it remains like this besides but the players need help and help needs to come back from different areas."
Rodgers agreed with Klopp's criticism, announcing it's far ridiculous that Leicester will go back to action little extra than 48 hours after their 6-3 defeat at Manchester City. To compound subjects for Rodgers, Leicester are without a number of gamers for the clash together with his former membership.
Ryan Bertrand, Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Patson Daka are all sidelined, whilst Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi have been now not risked off the bench in opposition to City because of hamstring issues. "It's a ridiculous time table, we all understand that," Rodgers said. "Players are not absolutely recovered for 72 hours after a recreation, so for us to be gambling on a Tuesday against Liverpool is ridiculous.
"It's a very brief turnaround. To play Man City and Liverpool in quick succession over this era is a huge assignment, especially with the squads that they have got."
