Ramslad1992 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Brilliant game that, good argument that Shrewsbury should have won. Credit to them, no bigger compliment to them than liverpool having to send on Salah and Firmino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Would imagine it’s the number of games plus the Euro’s this summer, doesn’t want to run them into the ground. I know there is a belief that players can play twice a week and still hold down a full time job as they get paid X amount, yet managers think differently and try to protect their assets ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Top planning again by the FA and Premier League, have a mid season break but schedule replays slap bang in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best players should only be playing the FA cup and the champions league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have one eye on an invincible season by now. so the debate is, would you take an invincible, record breaking points haul premier league winning season, over a quadruple (I know they can’t get a quadruple now, cos they essentially gave up on the league cup). I’d say the former. The chance to get an invincible season comes around once a generation. They can have another crack at the FA cup next year. For a team like us, a decent FA cup run could be a once in a blue moon thing, but I don’t think Liverpool would have any issues to give it a real go next season, if they wanted to.

I struggle to remember who won the FA cup 5 years ago, yet everyone remembers Arsenal's Invincibles. Taking your LFC haters hat off you'd recognise what an achievement it is. If Cit-eh had the exact same record & results this season you'd be applauding them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Isn’t the only reason Klopp is complaining because he hasn’t managed his squad depth or the youth players that well? Either way this shouldn’t be about Liverpool but about the lack of respect Klopp has shown Shrewsbury in his comments. Smaller clubs need all the help they can get from the top and this is not it.

Bubbles Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Nothing wrong with what Klopp's doing. he's honoring the fact that his players deserve a break? Can't see ANY problem with that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see ANY problem with that at all. Fair enough (to some degree) about the players. But Klopp himself is refusing to attend the game, sending the U23 manger in his place. The Premier League clubs were supposed to have a 2 week winter break. Some teams such as Liverpool were scheduled to play on the 1st Feb and then not again until the 15th. Whereas Man City would play on the 9th and rest until the 22nd. Liverpool's cup replay reduces their 13 days off to 10 days off. Not too much of an issue, but it's still short of what the Premier League says they should have. What I'm surprised about, is that Liverpool's Premier League fixture on the 15th can't be pulled forward to maintain a 2 week break. Newcastle (11 days rest), Southampton (9 days) and Spurs (10 days) are the other Premier League clubs affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, relying on the Premier League & EFL to agree on anything for the good of the game is a fool's errand. Personally I'd bar PL teams from entering the league cup, and scrap the Check-a-Trade (whatever it is right now) completely. I would also bring the FA Cup 3rd round forward to the weekend before Christmas, and have a blanket winter break the 14 days after the new year. No football of any kind League 2 upwards Scrap replays but to keep the smaller clubs benefiting from a lucrative tie, give them the choice of venue, and give them a 70-30 split of the gate receipts. Any teams from the same division drawn against each other would split the gate 50-50. No more Friday/Saturday night kick offs, including the final. Televised games kick off at 12:30. The final at 3pm No more semi finals at Wembley. Duck the debt on the stadium, it can put a couple of gigs on that weekend instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
