Ought Liverpool be compelled on 14:24 - Oct 31 with 1285 views | Steve_M | Given the precedent the FA set with Manchester United in 1999 that answer is clear. Arguable, from a cynical perspective, then it's in the FA's interests to show involvement in any FIFA or UEFA initiative going regardless of it's impact on the domestic game. Also, with a large squad, then Liverpool like most of the biggest clubs can cope with multiple games in short order. | |

Klopp played pretty much a reserve team last night so can't see why he can't do that again. The real problem is the very existence of the Club World Cup or whatever it's called. Completely pointless and irrelevant. | |

Much like the EFL cup then. | | | |

Ought Liverpool be compelled on 17:01 - Oct 31 with 1054 views | J2BLUE | He's just laying it on thick so Liverpool basically get to choose the date the game is played. 8 games in 18 days for a squad like theirs doesn't exactly make me too sympathetic. I suppose travel is the key factor but even then the league cup games can be played by their reserves and youths. The more successful you are the more matches you play. Stop whinging and get on with it. | |

EFL cup fixtures also scheduled for ages. Liverpool knew this so shouldn’t have entered EFL Cup. Either play the fixture with their youth team and don’t winge, or be kicked out the competition this season and next for good measure. Back in the real world the authorities will bend over backwards to find a date suitable for them and Villa will have to lump it. | | | |
