Ought Liverpool be compelled 14:19 - Oct 31 with 1297 viewsGuthrum

to prioritise a domestic competition - the EFL Cup - over the FIFA Club World Cup (IMO a rather silly piece of marketing flummery) if there is an unresovleable fixture clash?

Given the precedent the FA set with Manchester United in 1999 that answer is clear.

Arguable, from a cynical perspective, then it's in the FA's interests to show involvement in any FIFA or UEFA initiative going regardless of it's impact on the domestic game. Also, with a large squad, then Liverpool like most of the biggest clubs can cope with multiple games in short order.

Surely they have a large enough squad to send two teams?

its not as if this wasn't known about when the fixture list was drawn up.

The 2022 World Cup should be interesting for what it does to fixtures

Klopp played pretty much a reserve team last night so can't see why he can't do that again. The real problem is the very existence of the Club World Cup or whatever it's called. Completely pointless and irrelevant.

Fifa comp scheduled for ages. Lots of arrangements made and money spent. Liverpool and Villa can find another date or play reserve teams.

He's just laying it on thick so Liverpool basically get to choose the date the game is played. 8 games in 18 days for a squad like theirs doesn't exactly make me too sympathetic. I suppose travel is the key factor but even then the league cup games can be played by their reserves and youths.

The more successful you are the more matches you play. Stop whinging and get on with it.

Truly impaired.

EFL cup fixtures also scheduled for ages.
Liverpool knew this so shouldn’t have entered EFL Cup.
Either play the fixture with their youth team and don’t winge, or be kicked out the competition this season and next for good measure.

Back in the real world the authorities will bend over backwards to find a date suitable for them and Villa will have to lump it.
