Liverpool thread 2019/20

[stan bowles]

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.

Wouldn't be so sure once the bandwagon starts rolling with Spitty, McPointy, Owen, Souness all lending a Scouse bent to the argument.

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.

so the game is scheduled w/c 16th, so usually played on Tuesday 17th or Wed 18th. To suggest they have to play it on either of those days when they play in Qatar on the 18th is moronic.

My view is that any manager should be able to manage his squad how he sees fit and should be allowed to get on with it.

Why City fans bring it up is because the fucking FA allowed the television companies to put our game away to Chelsea, in the FA Cup, 48 hours away from our first CL knockout game.

Pellegrini chose the CL and played the kids, after we’d had our request to move it declined, and the scumbag tabloid press went after us saying we disrespected the competition.

The same won’t be ever said about Liverpool, I can tell you that.

What Liverpool should do is play the academy against Villa and at least fulfil the fixture.

I have heard that Klopp is pee'd off with Origi scoring that 5th goal - he wanted to go out of the competition to avoid this fixture congestion.

I said in the Summer that Liverpool would regret not signing anyone and the Summer football tournaments would hit their key players (Mane and Salah).

And what happened? City get one injury after another. However the logic still stands, and they might yet be hit hard. Salah is already struggling with what maybe a chronic ankle injury.

Why are we favourites to win at Anfield ?

Klopp wants to keep the squad small in order to allow young players to rotate in to the team. Ironically, his football romantic approach fits a company like FSG like a glove (even if players don't make it, they can sell them with a big profit).

I'm on your side though. Liverpool is only one injury away from disaster. Origi simply isn't good enough and Liverpool have no cover (except Milner) for the fullbacks.

I thought all clubs had the same size squad of 25 why is the dippers smaller ?? I thought academy players could come through at any time and didnt count as part of the 25 .....

Plus I thought klopp plays the same 14 ever game.
