Not necessarily so, some players perform best when they are playing week in and week out. Look at the two of you of players of this generation; Messi and Ronaldo. They rarely miss any game but still remain fit come up with the best numbers and seem to somehow about injuries.
Rotating players is of course necessary, especially when the fixtures are piling up like they are now. However, it's not the only applicable strategy.

It also depends on the fitness and athleticism of the players too. Ronaldo's takes his fitness so seriously that's why he barely gets injuried for lon periods of time otherwise enough play time is good for all players.

Since it's going tot be Liverpool's first League trophy for a while now, Klopp isn't wasting away any chances

This would be a wrong move as the next games in Champions League are coming.

Norwich - Liverpool is still on 0-0 (47 minutes played).
I was expecting that Klopp is going to do some rotation in the first line up but I can see that he is using the first team in all positions. This would be a wrong move as the next games in Champions League are coming.

Yeah! Liverpool won by 1-0 goal very easily. Even though Norwich City played very well in defense otherwise Liverpool could have scored multiple goals. Wink

On the other hand, Liverpool's position was further strengthened by the Manchester ban. Because of the Manchester Ban EPL has been lost a strong opponent.
Even then, hope the rest of the teams will play better and create excitation on the field.

Edit: Burnley early goal. Lol. Anybody watching the match?

Meh!
I did not but checked the score at around 92 minutes and saw 1 - 2 for Burnley. I was picking up for Southampton to win by 2 - 0 in the pool but when I saw it Burnley was about to win I knew I had no chance to manage a point from this match too. Liverpool match is on the half way. I am sure they will manage to do something to win this match too in the 2nd half as they always do.

I heard about the City thing this morning, I can't believe they did something like that and didn't even get anything proper in champions league, I mean they won one premier league thanks to it but I am pretty sure what they have lost here right now will cost them more than what premier league championship probably made them.

No European cups, no nothing and they will also pay a hefty penalty, on top of that it is said maybe even deduction of points at the start of the next season, I do not think they will be sent down a league, that would be way too much of a reaction, I doubt they will even have a point deduction next season, they will probably just pay a good penalty like god knows how many millions of dollars and continue.

This should be a lesson for everyone, city broke the rules and has one premier league, Liverpool didn't spend money at all, an average of 20 million dollars a year since Klopp came in and they won a champions league and gonna get the premier league as well, football is not just money.

The EPL is in very trying times with this ban on manchester city in UCL and tottenham jose's job on the line if they somehow manage to lose to aston villa tomorrow. Undecided

Manchester city spent all this money on their roster yet they lay so horribly. I am very surprised to see them where they are on the table.
Liverpool on the other hand have focus and honed in on players. They know how to make their skills grow without having to keep throwing money and emptying their clubs wallet in doing so. Roll Eyes

He should have started thinking about lifting a suitcase from City and heading to his home at Barcelona. What do you think, friend?

That has been my suggestion right from the onset, Pep ideology isn't impacting the team any longer therefore there isn't any need for him to stay at Manchester city for another season irrespective of the ban or not and obviously the ban will motivate his departure.

The ban yes, could well and truly mean city losing pep Guardiola and maybe even one or two key players, but don't you think people are too quick to forget about the good things pep has done in the last two seasons, he has had two terrific and superb past two seasons with city, and yes they have really messed up this season, it's still too early to say his ideology no longer works, pep is a fighter and he can always bounce back, this season could even still end in a not so terrible note for them.

There are a lot of uncertainties right now, especially due to this ban, what's next for city, what if their appeal fails, this is enough to keep city on the backfoot for seasons to come, it's a real psychological blow for them. Will pep leave, will city splash the cash this summer, etc etc.

Aston Villa - Tottenham Hotspur

I still have a lot of doubts about who I should bet on, but I can't help laughing to see what will happen if Totenham loses in that game. On the one hand we have an Aston villa that will strive to win because if they lose they will be ranked very low and that is not good for them. While on the other side we have tottenham that will try hard to win the game because they need to be in the first four places. It will be a very interesting game to see

[...]

You do not see how Tottenham's reaction at this time they continue to ambitious to win in the last 2 matches, let alone this will deal with Aston Villa, I think it's easy for him.
Spurs will continue to pursue the above points in order to remain in the CL qualification next season so they will continue to be ambitious.
I'm sure betting on Spurs will be better than 2.5gol.

It would be better to sack the administration and install a transitional one from the board themselves until the issue is solved while allowing the players to play as a team.

AFAIK, UEFA would not be acting within the ambits of their authority if they attempt to sack the administration. The club is a business and money changes hands for shares to be bought, they can not interfere in the personal business of the club.
It's a bit heavy-handed but restricting them from competing in the UEFA champions league is one of the only ways they can be penalized for their actions, it's the effect on the players is ineluctable.
It's similar to when the club is instructed to okay behind closed doors, it reduces revenues from ticket sales, which affects the management, but also restricts fans from watching their favorite team play.

If City's appeal fails, will there still be 4 clubs from EPL playing at UCL for the following season or given to another league?
Man City face a big problem, they need to convince their best players to stay at Etihad.

There will be still be same number of clubs from Premier League. That number is connected with league coefficient and that shouldn't be affected by City ban. They will just shift up in pecking order.

Though I believe in law and City should follow the rules but I still think it's not fair to stop players from playing for an economical mistake from the club administration. Though most players would find a way to play from other teams but that would surely effect the team and the players in many ways. It would be better to sack the administration and install a transitional one from the board themselves until the issue is solved while allowing the players to play as a team.

If I remember correctly, the Paris SG case, with financial fair play, was even more serious, but they got away with no penalty.
I think the appeal will be upheld here and the sentence withdrawn.
There are too many interests at stake, and it seems to me that also the leadership of UEFA is involved, or at least indirectly responsible for this case, and that is why I believe that some compromise will be reached, probably a fine without excluding the club from the CL competition.

Do you think Sheffield united will be able to maintain the fifth position they are right now till the end of the season? I don't think that they can, considering the amount of points they are leading with, just 2 points from Toteham and 8 points from Arsenal Who are currently in 10th position

Sheffield are a good side, at least on par with Wolves imo. The race is still far from over but I won't be surprised if they managed to finish inside the top 6. I don't think there will be a huge difference in points between number 4 and the top 8, so it's great to see. While Liverpool is running on their own, there's still an interesting competition for the CL spot.

Quote from: Nadziratel on February 15, 2020, 03:55:52 AM

If the appeal doesn't work, Man. City can be financially difficult 2 years and therefore the squad may have to go narrow.

They have the oil money though. They can spend another 1 billion prolly.

Poor City, it is banned from Champions League for two seasons + a bonus fine of 30 million euros. Too bad, second place or third in EPL doesn't matter then?
BTW, Leicester 0-0 wolves until now

Sheffield united fans must be the happiest fans in the world right now, imagining getting promoted to the premier league and getting a champions league spot immediately,

I'll love to see the reaction of City players towards this champions league ban as they play West Ham on Wednesday, Pep must be devastated, city is crumbling slowly, everything seems to be going wrong with the club.

Majority of city players will leave, I don't see them staying for two years without playing champions league football. They may likely be demoted to league 2, if eventually it happened, all their big stars will definitely leave. Juventus suffered the same back then in 2006 and almost all their big players left excluding Del Piero,

There are lots of talk about cycles and end years for each manager, from Jose Mourinho to Pep Guardiola. 3 years for Mourinho and 4 years for Guardiola. With the ban on Manchester City, than does not allow them to join Champions League next 2 seasons and if they fail with their ban appeal, I don't see why Pep Guardiola will stay at Manchester City. Without that ban, I also think Pep will move to another club at the end of this season or after taking a break (a half of next season or a full season) because he has probably hit his limit at Manchester City.

If the appeal doesn't work, Man. City can be financially difficult 2 years and therefore the squad may have to go narrow. Man City is not a team I love, but it's still a pity.
When it comes to Guardiola, it is very important how to make a decision after this point. He was already having a hard time against Klopp.
