The Liverpool Thread 2017/2018 featuring Jurgen Klopp

[Syn]

Well our game could easily have been rearranged.

If it wasn't for the FA needing to pay off the Wembley bill our semi final could be played at a different ground so both semis are played on the same day.

The fact two northern teams need to travel to London is nonsensical anyway.

There's also a 2 day gap [for the record by that I mean, for example, playing on the 22nd and then 25th] between your game against Chelsea and the away leg of the Barca semi, why aren't they asking for that to change too? Surely that's an even more strenuous run with travel etc.
Plenty of teams have had 2 day gaps between two important games, this is no different, and they won't be the last to have to do so either.

That's a bit of a illogical cop out. The fact that teams do have to manage with short breaks is not the same thing as another team refusing to play a match that is causing that pile-up. After the Muamba incident, Bolton's game with Villa was put back. But if they didn't want to play for a few after that, I'm sure they would have to forfeit the points. At a certain point, you've got to play on or be prepared to give the opposition the game. The bottom line is that Chelsea have been disadvantaged because Liverpool are refusing to play the game on the day it is supposed to be played. I don't care much for Chelsea but I think that's out of order.

Bit of a difference with Bolton though. You're talking about if there was absolute havoc with the fixture list over several games and a long period. And with extremely short notice, for obvious reasons, at that. As it is the rearranged game is 3 days after Villa play Sunderland, so you could say the same situation here.

This is one date and one game over a subject that has been known about for years. We also requested to UEFA that we play our CL QF in 2009 with Chelsea on the 14th rather than the 15th, with both teams already playing previously on the 11th, so it's not as if it's uncharted territory.

It's hardly putting Chelsea out of the ties. It's 1 day FFS, hardly a pile up. A team won't lose a match because they had to play a game a day later than they would prefer. If it were the case that it meant Chelsea had to play 3 in 3 or only had a day between the two games or something totally unreasonable then maybe, but it isn't.

I wouldn't say them playing Sunday-Wednesday is unreasonable at all, or even remotely out of order.

And it's not as if we were originally going to play on the 15th, the date was set in stone and then we suddenly threw our arms in the air over it - our game wasn't "supposed" to be played on any date, just over the weekend of 14/15. We made the request before the dates had been allotted and before Chelsea even got into the semi final.

And again that's only assuming our game couldn't have been rearranged and that both games had to be played at Wembley, of which I think both were possibilities.

Caroll loves scoring against the top sides:-

Andy Carroll's 2011-12 goals

24 August: Exeter (a)
1 October: Everton (a)
29 October: West Brom (a)
6 January: Oldham (h)
31 January: Wolves (a)
19 February: Brighton (h)
10 April: Blackburn (a)

[Marc Overmars]

Money well spent.

[Master Splinter]

Carroll is the best in the world at what he does.

It's only logical that he would be more expensive than Rio.

the justice for the 96 cause (dont quite know what it is called) a charity raising money to help fight for justice has rejected £1000 paid by alain davies into their account.

Ffs, how pathetic.

What the fuck do they want? Blood?

[Joker]

Don't think it inconveniences Chelsea that much to be playing on Sunday then Wednesday tbh. In fact I don't see why they couldn't just hold one of the semis at somewhere like Villa Park, so that both could be played on a Saturday. I know there are financial and logistical issues with that, but surely they wouldn't be insurmountable?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It'd make sense for Liverpool vs Everton to be somewhere away from London but ultimately the FA have a huge White Elephant they need to pay off.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

sick and tired of liverpool milking hillsborough.

ffs we know how bad it was but christ get over it. you dont see man utd or rangers playing on the heartstrings every fucking year and rejecting to play on the same weekend. if anything playing that weekend will be an occassion to show the passion and togetherness of the fans and players combined. should spur your players to victory.

united lost 20 PLAYERS. HALF THEIR BLOODY TEAM. yet they get on with it.

another reason i hate scousers. absolute whining idiots.
