Klopp renews calls to scrap FA Cup replays after Liverpool's draw with Wolves

Reds face a third-round replay after Saturday's 2-2 draw at Anfield

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reiterated his desire to see FA Cup replays scrapped in favour of extra time and penalties after his side played out a 2-2 draw with Wolves in the third round on Saturday.

Klopp had been asked prior to the match at Anfield about his thoughts on FA Cup replays and said "other solutions" needed to be found to financially support smaller clubs.

The German's comments came after senior figures from the Premier League, English Football League, and Football Association met to discuss the future of the game, which included the future of the League Cup, FA Cup replays and the Community Shield.

The topic of FA Cup replays was again raised with Klopp after Liverpool's draw with Wolves at Anfield, meaning a second third-round match will be played at Molineux.

"The situation is that we could still play extra-time, or a penalty shootout, and the game is decided tonight," Klopp said. "We deserved not more than a draw tonight and whatever the consequences are, in this case it's now an extra game, so that's fine. I have no problem with that.

"Somebody told me that they will talk about it if they scrap [replays] ... there was a discussion, I didn't start the discussion, I got a question and I don’t think we should have them, but I knew we still have them.

"It was clear that we have now to go to Wolves; Wolves are probably in this moment more happy about it than we are, but until then we will be happy enough to give it a go."

A replay might have been avoided if Wolves defender Tito's goal stood to give the visitors a late 3-2 lead, but his goal was ruled out for offside against Matheus Nunes in the build-up. The video assistant referee had no camera angle available to potentially overturn the original offside decision, leaving Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui furious.

And Klopp admitted he thought the goal might have stood, saying: "On the pitch I couldn’t see it, so I had no idea. For me, I thought it's a goal. It was the player in the left corner who might have been offside.

"We have one angle, which I saw in the dressing room, where it could be offside but I would not swear on it, or however you say that, but it could be. But I think this angle the VAR didn't have, if I'm right, that’s what I heard.

"I don’t know how these things can happen, but it happened. So, I understand the frustration of Wolves because you want to have the right decision in these moments."

Slow loris biog

From: Lonely Loris is a Sunda slow loris, one of nine species of the animal native to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.

What is the FNC?

The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning. 
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval. 
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.
