      One of the reasons for this winter break is to give teams in the Champions League more time to prepare for the knockout stage but the FA in their wisdom, decided they would forgo replays AFTER the winter break.For the 5th round of the FA cup ties will be decided on the day, extra time and penalties..if needed.

      They kept the possibility of replays for the 4th round knowing full well any replay involving Premier league teams would clash with the winter break. Spurs, who are still in the C/L have to play a replay on Wed 5th Feb.

      But the Premier league, when the winter break was agreed, writes to all the Premier League teams and tells them to respect the winter break......pity the FA didn't.

      Game is in 7 days and still no word on tickets.

      Think the club are hoping that if they just ignore the game it'll go away and they won't have to play it  :lmao:

      Anyone else think the club might miss a trick here.
      Sell the tickets at a reduced rate and politely ask that season ticket holders and members don’t buy them.
      Might give a new generation of fans their first taste of Anfield.

      That was similar to my thinking - Don't offer a credit, just let the ACS have their ticket at the reduced rate if they want with an optional opt-out which won't remove them from the scheme, then put the rest into a general sale. If members want to attend then their card gets activated, if non-members who don't usually get the chance want to attend then they get paper tickets.

      Could even have printed barcoded tickets if possible to save the logistics of posting the paper tickets out

      Whole thing is becoming a bit of a side show, a distraction we don't need. Could claim Klopp could've dealt with it a bit better, bit to quick to reveal his hand. Nothing wrong with being a bit vague when dealing with the media but that's a very minor complaint.

      I can understand the FA kept the replays untill the 5th round to give lower league teams the oppotunity to get money spinning replays but we have our priorities and reserve the right to act accordingly.

      There is a very easy solution to these replay issues, offer the lower league team, if they are drawn as the home team, the opportunity to switch the match to be at the bigger club, problem solved in terms of money if they prefer that option.

      Switching to the bigger ground/club has happened a few times in the past, sometimes on safety grounds. But smaller clubs now generally keep the game at home if they can. Seeding the premier league teams has been suggested just for the 3rd & 4th rounds. Basically to enable lower league teams a better chance of a money spinner.

      But in truth the competition has been devalued so much it's almost a distraction for clubs in the Premier League.At one end fighting for a seat at the top table.At the other end fighting to stay in the Premier League.

      Klopp confirmed no 1st team players will be involved in replay. so our discussion re. lovren, naby, shaq etc. needing game time. Nope, theyre already booked out for holidays.  fair enough.


      So its a proper u23s/u18s team.

      Would it really be considered an upset if our U23 team beat a 3rd division side?

      I think so considering the same team usually gets done early in the EFL trophy.

      Lost 5-2 against Accrington Stanley this year.

      I dont think it would go down as a famous victory but it would be a fair achievement.

      If we lose though, the media will have a field day with it I think.

      That's exactly what they've announced they are doing.

      No it isn't?

      Part of the sales criteria is that you need to have attended the West Brom game from 2 years ago. The criteria could drop to people with no previous history but even then they'll still need to have a membership (£30) in order to buy a ticket, which they probably won't as they don't attend games. So for a newcomer an adult ticket will cost closer to £50 & a child's ticket closer to £30

      There'll also be thousands of empty seats as there will people on the autocup scheme who live outside of Liverpool won't bother travelling up to watch the u23s play a midweek game, but won't cancel their ticket as they'll lose out on the credit for future sales.

      Club could have done much better

      Yikes, didn't know that, hopefully the razzle dazzle of playing at Anfield might put Shrewsbury off their stride , but I am not confident of this now, then again who cares, even if we win the match we then have a very tricky away tie against Chelsea where we would have to play some of the senior players.

      Cooled down a bit on this now and longer I have reflected on it more I am siding with Klopp. He wanted it done on the day and with being 2 up probably thought it was until we got complacent throughout the team he tried to react but it was to late although tbf Mo could have scored late on think deep down he will be furious with the team especially some of the senior ones. Guarantee one thing if we progress he will play a stronger side and reckon start to take it a bit more seriously

      It's a strong statement. You screw our fixtures, we'll screw your smaller club's ticket sharing. We are just making a stand for their screw up.

      I believe ticket sharing in cups are almost 50/50. They get close to 50% of Anfield's ticket sales. Can be big for a small club.

      I don't think that's the statement they're making, the game will still be very close to a sellout (how many of those who have tickets actually turn up is a different question)

      They also consulted with Shrewsbury beforehand so they might be giving them a bigger cut of the purse. They'll get a massive payday regardless

      I've wondered if they might make some kind of payment to Shrewsbury just to be clear that "It's not you, it's them" re grievances.
      Not required certainly, but their manager made decent enough comments about Jürgen's decision. Wouldn't be an awful gesture.
