We can't solve all the problems by playing more games - Klopp

FA Cup replays should be scrapped and other solutions need to be found to support smaller clubs, according to the boss of the Reds.

As leading figures in English football meet to discuss proposals from top-flight clubs, it comes.

The lifelines for small clubs can't be a big problem for clubs who play every three days.

He said that they can't solve all the problems by playing more games.

FA Cup replays were removed for the third and fourth round last season in order to reduce the fixture pile up caused by Covid-19.

The Times newspaper reports that six leading figures in the Premier League, FA and EFL will meet in person on Friday to discuss "significant changes" to the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Community Shield.

FA Cup replays from the third round onwards will be scrapped.

He said that he was always in favor of that change.

How often did a smaller club come through because of a replay?

Money is involved but you have to find a solution.

The smaller clubs have the same right as everyone else.
