I guess it's differences in Premier League/FA rules and their implementation. Evidently the FA's is if there's 14 players whereas the Premier League would seem to be a lot more fluffy

See my understanding was that the PL rule was the same, if you can field 14 players then you have to honour the fixture.

It is, they just aren't enforcing it.

Which is fair enough, although as things to on it might cause problems. I can see more postponements and possibly even another suspension coming and the fixture congestion is going to get crazy. That said I also can't see the euro's happening so there will probably be time in the summer

The fixture list is going to be strawberry floated.

Mad not to cancel the cups.

That Liverpool team


Good luck Villa lads

Was having this debate with a Liverpool fan at work today: "Klopp's a good lad, he'll play the kids as well to make it fair!"

[Jenuall]

Hey Klopp, thought your precious players needed a break?

[Hypes]

Well it's not full strength and there's 9 days until the next game

[Jenuall]

Oh! But I thought they were so busy!

[Benzin]

Klopp - "Our players are playing too much"

Also Klopp - *Plays Mane and Salah in cup against severely weakened opposition*

[Hypes]

It's like you're deliberately being obtuse?

[Hypes]

Plus the way things are going, this could be the last set of matches for a few months!

[Jenuall]

You can't moan about overplaying and then put your big names out on a chance like this to rest them

[Hypes]

Klopp: If teams play Wednesday night Champions League, it would be good for recovery if they didn't play 12.30 on Saturday

*Plays a reasonable strength squad for presumably 3 games in 13 days

Brexity teams fans: Lol Klopp was moaning about overplaying shouldn't he be playing the U12s?

It's like you're being deliberately obtuse!

Fair play to Milner, he's still got plenty in the tank as well!

[Jenuall]

Hahahaha 1-1!

[Jenuall]

That's a cracking goal as well

It's idiotic to expect Klopp to rest his players during an FA cup game. I mean what's stopping him resting them in the League games?
