'Wear the shirt and show who you are' - Klopp praises Liverpool youngsters for 'exceptional attitude' during Lincoln rout

Jurgen Klopp has praised Liverpool's youngsters for their "exceptional attitude" during a 7-2 rout of Lincoln on Thursday night, while highlighting how important it is for the next generation coming through at Anfield to "wear the shirt and show who you are".

The Reds romped to a comprehensive victory over League one opposition at the LNER Stadium to book a spot in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Klopp fielded a much-changed starting XI after Sunday's win over Chelsea, with out-of-favour winger Xherdan Shaqiri opening the scoring with a trademark free-kick in the ninth minute.
