Disappointing times in Qatar , the 2005 one was brilliant , going in to work already pissed. 

 

I think this presents a better challenge, in fairness.

 

Have you ever been awake and drunk at the start of 1 Liverpool match to the end of a 2nd?

 

Reds who roll into Birmingham steaming and are in Qatar the next night still dancing will have my eternal kudos*.

Rest the main players and play the B team for the first game. Give everyone a nice chance to lounge round Club Tropicana. Then pummel the finalists, become world champions and fly back to england after having a rest and some valuable tanning time. 

Listen to George Michael here.

That Villa game is going to be one of the surest bets since McGregor fought Mayweather.    Really hope there's enough idiots backing on name for a nice Xmas bonus. 

Yep.

Brewster, Jones, Elliott and Williams all going to Qatar.  Will we actually have XI players left for the League Cup?

You wait for the fewm from other fans when we field the U23/U18 team, oblivious to the fact the Mancs actually jibbed a whole competition in order to participate in the same competition we are jetting off to. I want us to win every tournament or do well in it, but we have to prioritise. The CWC trophy holds a shit more prestige than the Carabou Cup or whatever the fuck it is called. 

You also have to look at it another way. If we were to go through to the next round then klopp would play the youngsters again as we need to rest players for the other stuff. More palatable losing against Villa than one of the Manc teams or Leicester in a S/F whose fans would be oblivious to the fact we played kids. 

Depending what happens against Salzburg we'll probably do the same thing in the F.A cup but will probably play a stronger team than just the kids.

According to Standard Sports all of Brewster, Jones, Elliott and Williams will play at Villa before being flown out to meet up with the rest of the squad.

Not sure they'll be allowed to.

 

Read somewhere squad has to be there before first game and in it's entirety for duration.

 

Not 100% on that but think it may be case.

Yeah, apparently the rule has been interpreted to that the club (and most of the squad) needs to be there, not the entire group of players listed. That allows the 4 players (possibly someone like Lallana and Keita?) to play the LC before travelling.

I'm sure FIFA are a shit load more accommodating than the F.A/PL to be somewhat helpful when it comes to such strange and unusual circumstances.

They can't play over there if they do that apparently. 

 

Isn't going to be pretty for the under 23s at all.  Should have just pulled out tbh. 

The echo asked FIFA the question about that I think and FIFA didn't give a conclusive reply. I reckon there'll be a way around it. Might even mean loads of flying. Apparently they have to be in Qatar 3 days before. So I'm sure there's a few (league cup players) we could fly in 5 or 6 days before, let the rest of the squad join them, do the press and allow a bunch to fly back for the villa game before returning for the final. 

 

Edit... For the milk cup we have committed to playing a team that resembles what we played in previous rounds
