The original comment was, yeah
Anyways, how the FA planned for this will be interesting to see
Liverpool might pull out of Carabao cup
- Thread starter DLE
- Start date
Anyways, how the FA planned for this will be interesting to see
Hint: They didn't.
It's full up:
Sat 2nd - Villa (PL)
Tue 5th - Genk (CL)
Sun 10th - City (PL)
*International break*
Sat 23rd - Palace (PL)
Wed 27th Napoli (CL)
Sat 30th - Brighton (PL)
Then they are well and truly f****d.
I think they'll just play it in January, but we'll see.
Thinking about it, I suppose part of the problem in fitting it in is the recent-ish change in internationals, staggering them all out over different nights so more can be televised.
They take up 2 midweeks now where games can't be played in November, might only have been 1 in the past. E.g. England play on Thursday the 14th and Sunday the 17th, Germany on Saturday the 16th and Tuesday the 19th. In the past all the internationals would have been on roughly the same days, either the 12th/13th and 16th, or alternatively the 16th + 19th/20th and there'd have been an extra free Tuesday or Wednesday in there for club sides to play if needed.

I think the likely outcome is we play it on the 7th/8th of January (the week the first semifinal-leg is supposed to be played) and whoever wins play the first semifinal-leg the following week (14th/15th).
Having two cup competitions makes scheduling very difficult. I can see the LC eventually being scrapped or PL teams not playing in it. That together with no FAC replays would free up extra midweek dates for PL games. This would then enable a proper 3 week winter break in January bookended by the 3rd and 4th rounds of the FAC.
They’re moving it for them apparently. Bias confirmed.
Just elevates our domestic treble even further.
Exactly this!
Can you think of Fergie saying anything like Klopp did?
We won the League Cup and CWC when that happened.
It's got absolutely nothing to do with the FA, but they are a joke anyway.
Time to get rid of that pointless competition.
Wah wah, cry more, they should pull out of CL this season too so they don't risk playing CWC too.
Just kick the feckers out. Simple.
Who's in charge of it then?
The football League, the FA is a separate body.
I hope they pull out the miserable bastards.
In all honesty, do you blame them?
They were a whisker away from winning the league last season. No doubt Klopp is going to throw a competition or two to make sure he wins it this time.

As it stands they are literally supposed to play a game in england while being on a different continent
It's not really hard to see where the problem might be here
The whole lot of 'em are, including UEFA and FIFA, they couldn't organise a P up in a Brewery
The hilarious thing is they tried to throw last night with that shocking lineup.
And still went through!
Love it if they go out next round, having made so many moans about things.
I mean realistically, they probably already have a contingency in place(that is, postponing the game) and we're going to hear about it soon
But until then, this is a fun situation

Aren’t they actually seeded in this world club cup which means the semi final will probably be against some team they could beat with last nights team?
November is Christmas now?
piece of p!$$,ye'll win all of them.
Klopp is obviously an absolute cnut for not being able to teleport his team and play two games simultaneously.As it stands they are literally supposed to play a game in england while being on a different continent

At times in that game I was convinced they were throwing it! Then they'd score a worldie
My ideal situation would be for them to scrap it to the finals and then lose, maximising the number of fixtures.
Having seen them blag through competitions and win when they shouldn't have before, I would always prefer them out of every cup early.Klopp is obviously an absolute cnut for not being able to teleport his team and play two games simultaneously.

Just use academy players on a Thursday evening after a Tuesday Champions League game.
10th December Salzburg
14th December Watford
Put it between those 2 games and stop moaning.
I wasn't even aware of the Club World Cup but it would be very funny it that causes them to lose the title.

LFC have played two games within 48 hours of each other in late December/early January twice in the previous three seasons, your point is simply wrong regardless of how you approach it.
Surely the domestic game will get rearrangedAs it stands they are literally supposed to play a game in england while being on a different continent

Brighton played mostly their third team against Villa in the EFL Cup, so I can't see Liverpool can't do the same? or
Come off player number 74, number 72 wants a run out.

That's horrendous and exactly the kind of thing Sir Alex would rage at.
Just being dramatic to try to get a time/dste that suits them. Nothing to see here. Move on.
They should learn from our mistake and just put out a weak team. Even just kids.
I think we were wrong and arguably pool are worse as we pulled out before it started. Pool are pulling out at QF stage and technically robbed other teams of the chance to progress by beating them

I presume that the Club World Cup is a more prestigious trophy, no?
I mean Liverpool have never won the CWC, but have won the most Carabao Cups out of anyone. Which trophy would you rather have?
I'll approach it using the facts, thanks.

I think Wumminators post was more a joke towards us, United missed the FA Cup in 2000, after winning the CL in 99. Don't really know the reason as I was too young but the FA cups a bigger deal than the league cup anyhow.
The league cup is definitely weakest out of the trophies PL teams can win though, but then I've never really seen anyone take the Club world cup that seriously either.
I bet someone did but sadly not the right someone.
