wayne allisons tongues Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Liverpool have to play in Qatar for it’s what happens when you win Champions League. Personally I think the Premier League and EFL knew they were going and could of moved there league fixture to earlier in the season. EFL could of had a back up plan ready, instead they have 2 games to arrange now and everyone panicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Participation in the nonsense cup in Qatar isn’t optional is it? No its not, premier league have also ruled out moving a premier league game to accommodate needing to play the cup game before when the 1st semi final is due to be played, so Liverpool are potentially facing the prospect of having to play 3 games in 6 days or so early in december, then facing the christmas pile up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yes, there are a lot of people in football that could do with thinking a bit less about their wallets, Jurgen. So I agree.

Participation in the nonsense cup in Qatar isn’t optional is it? No its not optional. However with success comes extra games. Its what happens with cup football it is how it works. Also it is seen as a proof of concept for the World Cup. It is not like Liverpool were ever not going to enter the Champions league because of this tournament because they wouldn't want to play in it if they actually win the Champions League. Everyone knew it was coming. They are still in the League Cup and had the opportunity to play players who might not get in the 11/16 that is upside not downside. 52694 Attendance. Is quite a lot of money to boot for a game, with the Qatar games will yield them untold wealth. Klopp as manager makes comments and fair enough but I don't see anyone in the boardroom moaning and if they did it would be disingenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Liverpool fans moaning ,well what a surprise. Didn't Manure pull out of the cup years ago or something.

There are a fair few City/Liverpool fans in our fanbase, including several more than happy to admit it here on OTIB.

Completely alien concept to me and I genuinely can’t fathom how any true football supporter can say they support two teams. It just doesn’t compute with what it means (to me) to be a football supporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 More should have been done to avoid this for sure but I can’t help but think this is why they have high salaries and big squads. They can only play 14 in each match and they would play some kids anyway. Qatar Allison TAA VVD Matip Robertson Wijnaldum Fabinho Henderson Salah Firmino Mane Cup Adrian Williams Gomez Van den berg Milner Keita Lallana Jones Elliott Brewster Origi Available subs Ox, Lovren, Kelleher, Kane, Chrivella, Hoever, Lonergan, Lewis, Larouci Most of those have either played this season Or were big parts of their preseason. Also have a few more that were on the bench in earlier rounds. Can do the cup on Tuesday and CWC on Wed and the rest can fly out Wed morning to watch that game and be available if/when they progress. Again, not ideal and more could have been done to prevent this but is easily achievable. Can even mix and match a bit and make those sides a bit more even in terms of youth and experience. Remember the mid week CWC game is a semi final so chance for those that miss it can get on the pitch for the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
