Can't really blame Liverpool or anyone associated to the club for this. I’d imagine they knew the rules and dates for competitions prior to entering ? Listening to Klopp and Pep I get the impression they’d prefer to just play each other a couple of times a year to decide who wins what, cash the cheques then do it again next year, and sod the rest of us. He should shut up and abide by whatever was agreed when they entered the competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 These are the teams wanting a winter break as well. Well, say a break, but mean time off for money spinning games in Asia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's not like they're pissing off abroad on a jolly. A club ought to be able to compete in all official competitions they're eligible for with the expectation the fixtures are organised properly, imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they drop out, it should be with a fine or a points deduction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 the funny part is Liverpool are only still in the tournament because they are a big name, if somebody else fielded an ineligible player they be kicked out of the tournament. Put that with the threat to forfeit this game and we see a team that showing no respect for the tournament 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 They should be docked 15 points and made to play the rest of season behind closed doors for this farce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Klopp moaning that If they get to the semi final why is it two legged... because is it! You knew the rules before it started. No wonder the Scousers live him, he’s really bought into their mining mentality 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Fwiw I think it's retarded that the semis are 2 legged and the FIFA club world Championship is a silly competition that I'm sure they'd skip if they were not forced by FIFA and their sponsors.

Personally I love the 2 legs finals. It’s extra excitement. We’ve had a couple of great experiences, Tranmere, Blackburn and some bad experiences Bradford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
