Dont know what happened then but it fairly fucked the FA cup forever.
I highly doubt it.
Won't happen anyway. The EFL won't want the shitty press & furore, & we're obliged to play both competitions, so we're not actually at fault, cos we agreed & scheduled the WCC before the League Cup.
It was visible to me. I re-watched the game today, he was very industrious and linked up well for the most part. Yes, his final ball wasn't great and he didn't show his killer touch in the box but hopefully that will come after he adapts to the step up in quality/intensity. I was impressed by his display.
So, according to Chris Bascombe (no matter what his reputation, he has solid sources), it seems like the club are actually considering an idea I posed earlier today, albeit half heartedly, in that we could actually play both competitions when scheduled, using the 'b side' & pep for the League Cup & the 'a side' & Klopp for the WCC.
I doubt we'll do that, it's easy to see that it lessens both competitions, our ability to compete in them, & also reduces the chance we have of giving some key players an additional break of sorts under cover of the WCC.
Regardless, its interesting that it's being looked at seriously, & we'd make history if we actually did it.

That's absolutely crazy; even when we played MK Dons there was significant overlap between the PL/CL and and CC squads. No matter how you slice it, this would disadvantage us in both competitions. I think it's these kinds of suggestions that pissed Klopp off so much.
It's the club that proposed it apparently.
I can't see the EFL suggesting we send a 'b side' sans klopp to play in their competition.
I can't see it happening full stop though, they'll just push the game back & rearrange the semis.
Maybe someone at the club and Klopp are not on the same page? I agree with your point though, the league would hardly propose having us playing a B team with no manager. I just don't think Klopp would be OK with this either.
A different version of Irish in terms of pronouncing a lot of words yes.
Fair enough
Keep him. He’s done it too many times now to be overlooked as a fluke.
We’ve won the league cup more than anyone and have never won the WCC. It’s a big tick for the global brand so it has to come first even at the expense of the kids
I was hoping we'd play a B side in both anyway, so a B- side in one and a C- side in the other is fine!
Both teams can have a mix of experience and youth. Curtis can finally start, as can Chirivella and Larouci. Klopp secretly wants out anyway so this is the perfect excuse to play a substandard side without criticism.
If the kids beat Villa they should play the semis as well. If not... Well it'll be an experienec and they'll get an autograph off Jack Grealish.

Yeah, I couldn't be arsed with subs, but he deserved mention certainly. Should have started really as he was one of our better players in the last game also.
Has a chance
He's in contention for Saturday, all the LFC conspiracy theorists on twitter are now saying he fakes injury everytime he plays bad haha.
Sounds like Arsenal fans

Brewster (6) : I'm not as critical as some. He didn't receive much service and ended up coming deeper to pick up the ball. I saw criticism of his pressing game but that's not what I saw. I was actually looking to see if he pressed because I wanted to see what his off the ball game was like and he was definitely putting in the effort.

Love the appearance of king Kenny and then Bobby, like some pimp Don at the end.
Keep him? He just signed a 5 year contract.
I hope he isn't in contention. He's shit
He's also a massive shithouse. I'd sell him in January.
I'm pretty sure I saw in an article somewhere that the clubs involved are under some kind of legal obligation to FIFA. Any sanctions would be applied by them, not by the English football authorities.
Klopp has found a solution for the League Cup vs Aston Villa

We need him to be good as that midfield is going to get stretched the next few months. I'd have him starting games like tomorrow to see if theres any chance of him picking up form.
I would never play him and Ox together until they start dominating match though, and thats a very long way off, if at all.
I don't think he's shit, but I'm starting to think he won't make it here. He needed to start this season well, but it's been the same as last season, little niggly injuries, okayish performances.
I think a combination of bad luck with injuries, poor mentality possibly and inconsistent performances have done it for him. Shame, because he's clearly very talented. But I don't think he will make it with us now.

I have to say that I'm mighty impressed with Jones. When I first saw him for the u18s I saw some technique, ball control and all that cool stuff but he looked like the usual, you know, Cristiano Ronaldo wannabe winger. So my initial thought was *sigh* another Adam Hammill, Ryan Kent etc basically players so driven by instinct that they can't drastically change their game.
However, with Jones I've seen some real improvement. Suddenly he's a driving force in the middle. He doesn't dribble that much any more, he picks his passes, wins balls and plays with a sense of calmness. I'm really starting to think that he'll make it. While many of us were swooning over Elliott, this kid has shown he can be just as influential.
I really hope he keeps following the path he's on.

You must have not been paying attention then. He’s looked a different class for over 2 years.
