Froggy Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 3 minutes ago, ManDoon said: That same season you mention stones, he started their first 4 CL games until he got injured. So was pep not bothered about beating Napoli? That logic doesn’t follow at all I mentioned everybody so I wouldn't be seen to be cherry picking stats. The big clubs use the league cup to give back up players, youth players and players returning from injury minutes. There's no denying it. It is only when clubs get until the semi final do they field a full strength side and sometimes not even then. I don't know how anyone could look at our first 11 last night and even West Hams for that matter and see how either of the sides seen it as a priority. The game at the weekend is more important. It's clear as day. Also, again, that isn't the way I want it to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 So any club that rotates its squad for any competition (despite the fact these clubs have ~70 games a season to play, and a squad of at least 25 players to keep happy) is then showing disdain for that competition. 12 minutes ago, Froggy said: but if the goal was to win the league cup this season it would have been the same 11 as the weekend. This is amongst the maddest shit I've ever read on here, from someone who purports to know about football. Any change to a team from one game to the next is a signal of contempt, that the goal is not to win that competition. Liverpool played Divock Origi last week against Milan, and Sadio Mane was on the bench. Froggy thinks this shows Klopp has disregarded the Champions League. And why does he think this? All part of some bizarre push back at someone posting that they were amused at Man United getting knocked out of the League Cup, like anyone gives a stuff.

Guest HTT II Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 OGS has done a good job for Man Utd all things considered IMO, but they need to ditch him ASAP if they want to seriously contend for major honours, even shitty league cups… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy thinks this shows Klopp has disregarded the Champions League I am well aware there can be minor changes to a starting 11, I should have said similar team and not same team but fair enough. 7 of the 11 that Liverpool played against Leeds played against Milan, and it likely would have been 8 if Elliot didn't get injured. There is a huge difference in that and playing a complete second string. But again, you know this. Keep having little jabs though in regards to my knowledge of football.

Nobody Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I don't think anyone is trying to say that Man City see the league Cup as their main priority, but from there it's a pretty massive leap to say they treat it with contempt ffs Even Man U brought on two of their best players yesterday in trying to come back into the game, if Ole didn't give a shit he would have brought on some random kids instead.

Amazingly he is paid 6m euros to Dutch FA to go to Barca, but it owed that back + another 6m if he's binned.
