Match Day Thread Liverpool v Leeds

I actually think that is the only sensible solution
If you are concerned about your players quite rightly - then cancel the game
But forfeit the match

I really dislike bringing it up but we were asked to field teams in two different competitions on two different continents

whilst it wasn’t COVID it wasn’t fair to refuse us the postponement because none of it was in our control

we played mainly the u23s and simply that’s the choice for clubs now
Or it should have been

 

I'd rather we reduced fixture congestion by doing away with pointless international breaks.

 

And I’d like to retire a rich man next year, but let’s keep it realistic Saint.

 

Oh I know it'll never happen...

 

Post your bank details and I'll sort it out for you.

 

Where's that come from?
You need to have 14 fit "first team" players, these are players in your 25 man "first team" squad not the under 23 squad

You suggesting if a team has some under 16's fit they should play ?

 

Do you think it will take into account Leeds fixture list?

 

Personally i think leeds have been royally shafted compared to spurs and leicester who could easily have played games.

Frankly leicester got their karma.big style.and i really hope they enjoy playing city next having played a full line up against us and not protecting any players.

 

Or better fitness training.

 

Not arsed they cancelled it
In fact I will go further
The club that is cancelled on should be allowed to choose the rematch date Imho

 

Are you not allowed to play any amount of your younger players ? Therefore they are part of the squad

i am suggesting teams should be made to fulfil their obligations
Like we were regardless

 

Which international breaks are "pointless"?
would you expect a manager to turn up at tournament with a bunch of players who have never played together before and win/do well in it?

 

So we don't have 25 man "first team" squads then?

Take a look at your website mate, if it's anything like others it will show a differentiation in squads and players.

Yes, you can use a youth team player if you wan't but should never be forced to, that is why the ruling state's "first team players"

 

Where the **** is the next match thread ffs

 

- In addition to the 25-man named squad, clubs can use an unlimited number of players aged 21 or under.
But of course you knew that

 

Well i would have if the rule wasn't 14 "first team" players available

 

Well we were forced to so no idea why everyone should not be forced to

 

Nobody has ever been forced to

Another face palm

 

I don’t agree with you
You don’t agree with me
Nothing you can say will change it
I am also not arsed
All this has served to do is make even less arsed about the top level of the game
And yes they have
Night Diego

 

All of them

But most especially the nations league plus any "break" that wedges 3 games into the space allocated for 2.
