Fucking crazy. It's taking the piss. TV companies far too much control over fixtures these days.
Our game against Sunderland isn't on TV
It's only a couple of hours less than Sunderland.
I had hoped that Klopp wouldn't go on too much about it as it makes ideal material for Moyes pre game speech.
It is a piss take though
Your ma's a pisstake
I know that. But it was a general reference to their increasing power and influence. Our game with City was rearranged for a evening kick off for TV, likewise Spurs v Chelsea was rearranged for TV coverage. The games are always spread out over the Christmas period to maximise the number of live games on TV. We've pulled the short straw this festive period there for sure.
Mignolet
Clyne Lovren Matip Moreno
Can Stewart Winjaldum
Origi Lallana Sturridge
That's should win the game easily..

My ma? Well shes a great old gal!
Jesus. Are you that dumb.
The point is the team we are chasing have 2 more days to rest.
I dont mind us playing if they have to aswell.
I'm not sure why, but I get the impression you're being very literal there.
Who cares man, when it's all said and done all teams play 38 league games from Mid August to Mid May.
It's not ideal no but does it REALLY make a difference?
Slappy goo ear, everyone!!!!
Have you only noticed now?
It's a total balls.
If we beat Sunderland it'll be a miracle

They've had the same amount of rest as us.
Yes, it's called rest and recovery. Pretty basic stuff.
Indeed but big difference between playing City at 530 and Burnley at 3.
We looked absolutely dead on our feet 2nd half.
Hopefully we can put them away earlyv
Always been only 2-3 day gap at Crimbo/New Years for Footie games but yeah, playing at 5.30 then at 3 two days later is a bit nuts. As already stated though it's not much different for Sunderland and they're really shit so I'd like to think we'll still beat them quite comfortably.
One good thing about the fixture list is that after all these weeks of chelski going nine points ahead and the pressure being on us to reduce it to six, is that now we will have the opportunity to reduce it to three and putting a bit of pressure on them.
Ah LAds you take the breaks you get with the ones you don't. Sunderland have the same situation so it's really not that much of a negative. Plus we've no euro fatigue so
We can't really complain that much.
The fact Sunderland are in the same boat makes me less concerned

I'd much rather be going into this game having beaten City than having lost 4-1 to Burnley, don't get me wrong, it's a fucking shit decision to play these games so close together for both us and Sunderland, but at least we're both in the same boat, heck you'd even suggest that as we have the bigger squad and budget, it gives us an advantage.
I recon Karius will get a chance in this game. Does Matip have any chance of being fit? Anyway, I think it's going to be pretty much our "cup squad":
----------------Karius---------------
--------Matip--------Lukas--------
Trent-----------------------Moreno
---------------Stewart---------------
----------Can---------Ejaria--------
Sturridge----Origi----Woodburn

Because he's not a different level to Ming, they are about the same quality at the moment and both need chances to prove they can be better. Just like when Karius was the #1, another poster was making a big deal out of starting "a keeper we all hate" (Mignolet) in the Cup 2nd round; now it's the reverse – but both players' level didn't change!
