But the Liverpool youngsters could not beat League Two outfit Plymouth as the two sides saw out a dull 0-0 stalemate at Anfield.
Klopp suggests he does not regret his decision, though, insisting his first-team regulars might also have struggled against the Pilgrims.
The German boss told BBC Sport: "They created small spaces and we made our own problems. A game like this is not easy to make exciting.
"We had a young side so that's difficult. We can do better and if we do better then we have a good chance of making the next round.
"With our other line-up it could be possible that the result was still the same. Not likely but possible. It was a good experience for the boys."
