ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Zatara]

They ain’t happy…

Nevermind.

Brazil withdraw him from the squad (after first naming him) as we requested it and had good will with them.

Huge difference to those players who remained named in the squad.

Same cycle all the time before Southgate got involved, Liverpool players dodging qualifiers and friendlies for two years then just before the tournament they crank their propaganda machine up to make sure they all get selected. Had Henderson and Alexander Arnold been for this summer the media would have been baying for them to be in the first team until Southgate caved just as they did when it looked like neither would make the squad, he ended up taking both even though Henderson wasn’t even fit.

if those two didn't play for the crimson crud, they wouldn't get anywhere near the national team

The last 3 internationals underline that in spades:

3 games = 2 tough away games with edge to them - Alexander-Arnold and Henderson left out (subs bench ignored when both a RB and holding M/F were crying out to shore matters up last night in Poland, but Alexander-Arnold and Henderson just warm up and are then told to sit down); but the exhibition-type walkover game against Andorra they both play in.

By the way, Leeds are their next opponent and their best player looked knackered having played the two tough away matches in midfield. Job done.

...and anyone pointing it out get laughed at by some Evertonians for calling it.

Southgate knows the Kopite media control his fate. He wont risk going against Klopp's wishes.

Nevermind.

Self awarenessometer machine just exploded.

Raphinha banned for the game against Liverpool by FIFA and Southgate playing Phillips twice has knackered him: that more than hands Liverpool the edge for their match on Sunday.

Surely allison fabinho and firminho are big losses?

Deffo Allison is a loss, they can get by without Firminho IMO.

He only ever scores against Everton anyway.

Are the Liverpool cohort banned for the CL game or have they lucked out on a technicality of not being within the 5 day window whilst others are?

 

[boris]

Firminho was out anyway wasn't he??

I did think he was injured

Robbie Fowler has run out on his second club as a manager.

Having left Brisbane Roar in the lurch running back home after less than 18 months having stunk the place out there and refusing to go back, he's now ran out on his Indian League team SC East Bengal after less than a year leaving them after failing badly too and wont bgo back to face the music.

Fowler departs latest job as lockdowns impact career

He was in a head coach role in India.

Liverpool are saying they're going to play their Brazilians in contravention of the FIFA ruling.

Proportionate to what Leeds will lose, no.

What's the potential outcome? Points deduction? Fine? Absolutely nothing?
