If the big clubs are unhappy, protest to uefa about to many European games - go back to a straight knock out competition. Exactly, or keep playing your reserves like everyone does. If we were in Europe next season, we would struggle to keep playing competitively in the PL and League Cup alongside the European competition.

Players could 'treble wages' elsewhere Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers admits his side cannot compete financially with the elite clubs and understands that players may seek greater fortune elsewhere. Rodgers’ star players, like James Maddison and Ben Chilwell , are being linked to the Premier League’s heavyweights ahead of the January transfer window. City lost Harry Maguire to Manchester United in the summer, having seen N’Golo Kante, Danny Drinkwater and Riyad Mahrez leave for Chelsea and Manchester City over recent seasons. Leicester will likely face a battle to keep hold of their high-profile players again, and Rodgers cannot deny the appeal of the wealthier clubs. “The reality is we will never be able to pay,” he said before City’s win over Crystal Palace. “We will never be able to pay what some of these guys can get at some of those clubs. You can leave here and double or treble your wages." Its simple really. Over charge them for transfer fees and put a team salary cap in place thats manageable and fair. You cant look at the top 3 and say " well given they currently have an average for 250k per week per player ..." set a realistic weekly hard salary cap based on all prem league teams. This will keep players from jumping ship. Oh you want to go to united for 40k a week or stay at leicester for 100k? Hmmmmm always dreamed of being a Leicester player huh?!?! Lol It will ensure a competitive league thats for sure. Edited 6 November 2019 by Jattdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way his tackle was a red, but he got away with that outrageous dive in the first half, so VAR's two wrongs made a right. As if it needed to look even more shite. Was it really Son who caused the injury?

kingcarr21 Posted 6 November 2019 Share Posted 6 November 2019 Or teams could just use their whole squad and stop moaning. Boo hoo Liverpool have to field 2 different squads. Its what happens when you are playing well. Look at it as an opportunity for your squad players to get some game time and a chance for some youth players to get the feeling of playing for your first team in order to inspire them to improve. Even with Prem fixtures. No reason why we cant start the likes of Justin, Iheanacho or Albrighton etc. Players that are more than capable and will chomp at the bit to force a decision from Rodgers on playing them more.

The foul alone deserved a yellow card, he was only sent off because of the injury which was bad luck. But had he rightly been booked for a dive, two correct decisions would've seen him sent off anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without starting earlier (and the PL is already one of the earliest European leagues to start) or not having a winter break, there is no way to fit all fixtures in without causing a pile up. You could always remove PL teams from the League Cup or scrap it altogether? Abolish replays of FA Cup games in any round (currently not until the 5th Round is it?). Play the FA Cup in midweek. etc etc etc We should never have had the winter break anyway, we were fine for like a billion years until Klopp came in and started moaning. The Premier League should have told these cvnts to shut up or **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is largely down to: 1) the large clubs like Liverpool wanting a bloated Champions League Too fvcking right. The second round takes place over four separate midweeks which is frankly ridiculous. If you made the Champions League straight knockout over two legs you could reduce the amount of games and spread it wider over the season- but they wouldn't want to lose that revenue, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an U12 player goes down in pain this weekend, is the tackler who saw that more likely to give the ref the 'he dived' sign or check to see if the player's ok? I'd say the latter. Whether or not Son is a egotist, I'd say that's a good thing. It's pure conjecture, I know, but I just thought of a potential positive really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf these things usual get out when a player visits another player after injury, and I've heard no reports of it. Not saying that's proof that Son hasn't been to see Gomes but it would be unusual if he had and it hadn't been made public knowledge in some way. As for the apology to the camera, I have no problem with that in general, but this Spurs team have a reputation for cringy, OTT, play up to the camera, bullshit celebrations. They're all about the show, all about social media, going viral and getting likes, so I can't take it seriously when that club does that, I just see it as fake.

Works well in Germany but they can afford to not play for 4 weeks without causing a massive fixture pile up. All the PL has done is take one weekend of playing away and added that fixture into an already busy month. And it's not really a winter break, it's a weekend off. Just ridiculous, it's not a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
