Liverpool playing the Covid card tonight 21:33 - Jan 4 with 3161 viewsElderGrizzly

Another one where Covid is a side-show to real reason for asking to postpone.

Key players either injured or at the AFCON is the bigger issue.

And this is Liverpool with a squad of 40+ who basically played a 2nd XI vs Leicester last round. Do it again…

Newcastle will remain the biggest farce of the festive period though.

Their two key players in Saint-Maximin and Wilson got injured during the Manchester Utd game so following that the club immediately called off their next two games.

They are also anticipating making a lot of signings.

Let's hope they all take half a season to gel under Howe and the club is then found to fall foul of FFP in the Championship.

Liverpool are saying they have zero goalkeepers as all GK staff and all keepers are either injured or have Covid.

Convenient eh, especially when Klopp was already saying he didn’t want ro play the game this week

I don't blame Newcastle to be honest. Those two are their only decent players.

Liverpool is a bit different.

To be fair to them they’ve been one of the better ones. They’ve played on with some key players missing and only had postponements due to opposition.

Think it’s finally caught up with them as slowly more and more cases there.

He’s just not helped himself by whinging about wanting this specific game postponed for about the last two weeks

Indeed. Surely all of these PL clubs have squads capable of playing. Although the integrity of each competition is damaged for sure (less relevant for Carabao Cup obviously).

Is this the same Liverpool who faced Aston Villa’s under 12’s last season in the FA Cup when they were forced to play the kids with all their first team out with covid (when Louie Barry scored for Villa)?

It was nothing to do with covid, senior players were playing world club cup.

A better example would be when they sent the under 23s to Shrewsbury in a FA Cup replay. They couldn’t give a stuff then so force them to do the same thing tomorrow. What’s good for one match is good for another.

Does make me laugh that earlier in the season they'd have happily seen the whole competition binned, but now the league is almost gone they suddenly want to take the League Cup seriously.

It was covid - according to reports at the time...

Yes, I know... which is why I made the point about when the shoe was on the other foot last year, Villa had to play their kids against Liverpool when the first team was ravaged with covid, but Liverpool are asking to have their game moved back instead of just playing their kids like Villa had to.

My OH is worried as a Shrewsbury fan as his game on Sunday is now in doubt. I was looking forward to the peace and quiet. As punishment i have now got him a ticket to watch Ipswich at Gillingham to introduce him to decent football!

I simply can’t understand how these huge clubs can’t field a team. I bet they will be more than happy to field a reserve team in the FA Cup. This is a nonsense now.

As others point out, Newcastle played the system and got away with it. Injuries, not covid, was the reason for their postponements.

not as good as leeds and marcelo bielsa they went into games with over 10 players out with injuries and covid. didn't plead for the games to be cancelled even thou he had to put a 15 year old on the bench.. even thou they got hidings , he blamed himself for the defeats.
unlike klop he never moans about the ref . his players may do but not him.

Saw a stat earlier that Liverpool have literally only played Sarah in one domestic cup game in the last 5 years. So if you think Koop has had the game cancelled because he was hoping the game would be when Sarah is back in February.. I think that’s hugely unlikely
