Liverpool thread 2019/20

[ancoats]

At least they had the 'good grace' not to enter the competition in the first place, thereby giving someone else a chance, what liverpool are possibly doing here is denying someone a chance.

yep they knew before the draw was made for the 3rd round so why not just pull out then

I feel violated.

Always the fucking victim. ;)

Regardless of how you perceive Liverpool or the Club World Cup, they earned the right to be there by winning the Champions League. They should be able to participate in that competition without too many obstacles. Suggesting they play Friday, Monday, then fly out Tuesday to Qatar and play Wednesday is ridiculous. Unfortunately there isn't much leeway in England due to the 2 domestic cup competitions, so whatever happens, they will have some pretty dire scheduling.

Don’t you remember the FA Cup Fifth Round at Chelsea when City had to play two days before our first ever Champions League knockout game, did you give a shit then?
The scousers are a big club they should be able to fulfil their obligations, if not they should say so and forfeit

Genuine question, could they have opted not to play the world club cup or whatever it is and if we were in the same position would we want the club to take part.

The world club cup is fifa's club cash cow, the only thing they have after world international tournaments, Klopp comes across that it's a privilege to be invited, and that they are representing the premier league, England, the UK and Europe, and they couldn't say no. In other words, they could have, but it wouldn't have gone down well.

The bigger picture is, this competition was planned to include the winners of the champions league (who ever it was) before the champions league final was played. Moaning about it now is all a bit too late, they knew they had premier league games, they knew they would be in the Champions league, they knew which cups they were in, they knew if they stayed in the EFL cup to the quarter finals it would be a clash with other games, why not bring it up sooner and ask that a provision is made.

They have 35 players registed with the premier league, plus other EDS and under 21 players. They should just bloody well get on with it, but because they are the media darlings, it will be poor successful Liverpool, they must be looked after.

We know that wouldn't have been the case if it was us.

Its against the code of conduct to pretend to be a City fan on here which you are doing.

You're a Liverpool fan so why try and hide that fact?

A wolf in sheeps clothing blue.

absolutely not & happy to share my personal pictures (not those ones) of me at City with anyone who wants to see them!

JM has assured us he is a true blue, so as long as there is no WUMing or other issues, we’re moving on.

My heart bleeds purple piss for them

Either play Villa on the due date or forfeit the tie. Simple as. And if Kloppy and the Dippers expect Villa to be pissed about with re-arranging the tie so it then entirely suits the Candle burners, Villa should tell them to get fucked.

I think it's fairly apparent that Klopp doesn't care too much for the domestic cups. He wasn't going to try to lose but the team he put out against Arsenal was pretty weak. 11 changes from the weekend. I read some posts demanding that he fined/punished for disrespecting the competition by fielding such a weakened team so there must be agreement on this.
Unfortunately Arsenal were even worse. It was a great match to watch for the neutral since both teams attacked the whole game and the defending was awful leading to plenty of goals and an exciting finish.
I say let Villa go through if a time can't be organised. Either that or give the kids another shot when the first team is in Qatar. I don't see much being done to accommodate Klopp.
