Well, when you read the quote, "... but need to be mindful of such problems in the future", you'd guess they would. But I suppose it's all in the headline... "We must avoid Liverpool fixture clash repeat". So maybe it only applies to Liverpool.

:) :) Absolutely

Yeah they did. I remember Klopp speaking about the fixtures and lack of players to pick from.

Looks like Rick Parry tried his hardest to help

Liverpool fixtures: EFL say 'pragmatic solution' found to Carabao Cup/Club World Cup clash

English Football League chairman Rick Parry says the body found a pragmatic solution to Liverpools Carabao Cup and FIFA Club World Cup fixture clash, but need to be mindful of such problems in the future.

LMFAO, how did he help then?
Because what they ended with is similar to what we will face!

There's only West Ham (amongst British professional Clubs) where we have a lot of mutual appreciation amongst fans, as far as i know.

I think we get on fine with Sunderland after that League Cup final?

I don’t register anything the dippers do - apart from smashing up coaches :)
However, I’d like to win the World Club cup as we’ve won the league cup loads of times & anyone can win that. To win the world club cup you have had to been successful in Europe

Oh right, so what did these clubs win in Europe?

Like listening to men talking about darning socks

Txiki would buy new socks.

True, as we did when we relegated them at Maine Road many years ago. We just don’t play them very often

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Mirror headline “Pep shows his disdain for the Carabao Cup”. Fucks sake, no manager has regularly played stronger sides, nor won the fucker more, yet due to an injury crisis and fixture congestion he’s going to give game time to squad players, how is that disdain? What about united’s disdain for the premier league, they don’t seem to be taking it very seriously?

If I recall, it was Baconface and Wenger who started the dumbing down of the cup competitions by playing greatly weakened teams in these competitions. When we did it because we had an away European game 2 days later, the press was in full anti-City flow with 'Manchester ' football correspondent Jamie Jackson claiming he was on the plane which, he said, only took about two hours to fly out. TV reporter Ray the rag Wilkins was particularly livid about the how the planned TV game was spoiled for them. What City did wasn't original but going by the rumpus it was all made to look ground breaking.

Shearer was sticking the knife in too, sneering about us playing a weakened team after the BBC picked us to play away at Chelsea at 6pm on a Sunday night knowing full well we were playing in Kiev on the Tuesday.
Shearer said "I don't get resting players"
The same Shearer who walked away from England so he could have more "rest" to prolong his club career.

He was never injured. Arteta benched him and when they didn't get the 3 points he knew he was going to get grilled and thus the bullshit that Rice was injured.
