Horse toothed knacka hasn’t discussed his “Liverpool have a ceiling” comments though in the midst of them spending 9 figures on Wirtz. Can’t stand the sanctimonious shitbag picking and choosing his latest gripe.

[Stifler]

He’s wrong.

The most recent worst ideas in football are giving teams 5 substitutes, and adding 15 minutes onto the end of each half for stoppage time.

 

I wonder what prick who was only thinking about himself is responsible for those?

100%

 

Been saying for years the likes of this cunt and Pep won't be happy until they have 30 players and roll-on, roll-off subs. Wankers

Doesn't Pep use less subs than any other manager in the league? He usually deliberately has a small squad too.

Yeah, City have a massive squad is a big misconception

 

Pep like you say has often had the smallest squad in the league, however the 17 or so players he relied on are of a high standard

 

Be interesting to see if he abandons that after last season or he sticks with the smaller squad like he prefers

He does, but then Klopp used very few too I believe yet still moaned, both have been very "all or nothing" in terms of use of subs so far as I'm aware.

 

I generally like Pep but he's the biggest performative tosspot going

Did he not say he would quit if he didn't get a smaller squad ?

Aye that's what he said

 

Should expect a couple of departures if that's the case as they probably have around 25 now

He did. But then he also moans about too many games and protests about having to play academy players in big games after he's run blokes into the ground.

Not even necessarily pettiness, just fun between like minded.

I don't mind the longer stoppage times, especially now that they've been reigned in a bit.

But the 5 subs is so fucking shite, I really can't stand it.

The calendar is ludicrous, that is beyond doubt. But saying the Club World Cup is "the worst idea ever implemented" is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It's a global game; there should be room for it.

 

There does need to be effective lobbying against this tournament - there's so much to criticise. But it should be in the interests of delivering a good version; one which isn't motivated by geopolitics, revenues and vanity. What Klopp is saying is just reductive. Pointless too; it's here now, and it'll almost certainly expand. 

 

The calendar absolutely needs review. But let's start by looking at the dead rubbers, like international friendlies and tournament qualification; let's maybe fuck off bloating the UEFA competitions; let's explore the domestic cups (could the League Cup be in alternate years, for instance?); let's consider more player regulation - e.g. maximum appearances per season. 

 

A CWC for the right reasons really shouldn't be beyond the comprehension of the game's leaders. But here we are. We've got odious, narcissistic self-serving cunts pulling the strings, so it's impossible. (But enough about Klopp, wahey!)

The problem is, clubs like Klopps beloved Liverpool will all cry out for things like scrapping the League Cup, and also reducing the Premier League to 18 teams all on the grounds of there being too many games, then go out and request an expanded group stage to the Champions League.
