stevelcfc Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Be interesting how we fit this in with us already announcing an effective full preseason schedule all of which takes place in late July.
Stevosevic Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Every other club does it - are we the only club that can't cope?
JayPittardBlueatheart Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 I don't reckon this will be as bad as last time, all games are at least in the same area, instead of all over the world

Footballwipe Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 We've been through this in another thread?? It'll be two games in pretty much the same location against English teams There will be no trophy tour or three week excursion totalling about 4 million air miles We have FOUR Football League friendlies lined up after we come back, not like last season's ridiculous schedule This won't be a problem at all. It's definitely not last season and any arguments that this will see us have an equally unprepared team going into 2017-18 are rubbish.
filbertway Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Yeah, no issues with this. Would prefer it to be earlier in July rather than later but it's going to be nothing like that awful tournament taking us around the world last summer.
foxfanazer Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 Totally different to last season. No problem here at all
Ian Nacho Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 We've had training camps in Austria before so going to Hong Kong isn't much different, we'll just be having the odd game instead.
Gav_LCFC14 Posted 22 May 2017 Posted 22 May 2017 is that 8 games then? Burton (Away), Luton (Away), Wolves(Away), MK dons (Away), Palace (Asia Cup), Liverpool (Asia Cup), West Brom (Asia Cup), Rumoured 'high profile' match (Home). Dortmund? Be a great active preseason, with the players ready to go for day 1 of the Prem. Was annoying hearing Claudio at the start of the season (for around 2 months), going 'they're not 100%'.

What's all this about ensuring Liverpool will be the only ‘big’ name in the Asia Trophy for 2017. Everyone knows we are bigger than Liverpool.

We will play two games in Hong Kong, not three. I think one on the Thursday and one on the Saturday. I'm there on the Saturday - what planning !!

Austria is very different to Hong Kong mate.. I will give a list of differences if you have trouble sleeping.

HybridFox Posted 23 May 2017 Posted 23 May 2017 A fair few games there. I just hope we have a squad to cope and rotate around by the time we go. And not relying on Morgan and Huth every game That pre season schedule is still a hell of a lot better than last summer though
