gnasher16 30,096 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I get it with Klopp he,s German....but how Liverpool fans,or any other fans are willing to sacrifice the most historic cup competition in world football is just another example of how horribly over commercialised our game has become and how unimportant club fans really are.....do Barcelona or Real Madrid fans happily concede the Copa Del Rey every year im not sure they do ? Its the height of sporting snobbery in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 They have prioritised the PL and I can't blame them. Especially how this year has panned out. Grab it while you can as you never know what tomorrow might bring. Klopp is putting his player's welfare high on his priorities too,. From my personal point of view the FA cup has been on a downward slide for quite a few years now. It doesn't have the same magic for me as in the past. And I can see the day that the League Cup is dropped by the bigger PL clubs or used entirely as a youth experience program. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go on then max seeing as your crying out for my attention the poll was done by a thousand people max hardly a convincing number is it and half of your fans think Leeds are bigger and better with more nation support in fact some think Sheffield wed should be in front of you fact but alas your still playing second fiddle to the toon who were voted the best in the country by a far bigger poll against the likes of utd Liverpool ect Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 15,840 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I don’t buy that one iota I’m afraid pal Liverpool’s priority has to be the league simply for the status , prestige , the psychological win and financial gain the FA cup pales in comparison at this moment in time for Liverpool 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I totally understand that way of thinking mate but think about this, the FA etc are absolutely exploiting these teams with various competitions. They are playing football at such an intensity that its only logical you will have to make choices about what games you play......if you take into account that Milner is averaging about 14km per game.....that’s a marathon a week, every week for 9 months !!! You have to be sensible too imho 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have to be sensible too imho I can see the argument for the players and he has 2 excellent teams of players in that squad plus the youngsters coming through...so resting your main 11 is not a biggie imo... but Klop should be there, it's his job to manage the club in every game... I like the man a lot...but I dint see this as a good call... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
