    Matchdays

    we're now into the middle of November with a International break and we've only played 8 games. When are we going to play all the league games If we progress in Europe ? Throw in the FA Cup and the fixture list is going to be mental.
    2 games a week from here on in ?

    Without having looked at the actual fixture list, this looks most likely.

    The good leveller is the fact that the other top teams will be in the same position as us. It then comes down to who copes best, and who has the fewest injuries will also be a factor.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Injuries are going to get worse any wonder we're looking to increase subs to 5. It makes sense for all the teams, players are going to get run into the ground come the New year.

    Hopefully get qualified in the next fixture in Europe and rest players for the remaining 2 fixtures.And put everything to back burner until Feb.

    Who has to approve 5 subs, Premier League or UEFA ?

    Must be Premier league if we are the only ones not allowing 5.

    Thanks Steveo, it didn't know they had 5 subs in other leagues.

    Every other league in Europe has five substitutes this season apparently.

    I’m a bit torn about it to be honest. On Sunday for example, Manchester City only used one substitute, and we only used two and one of them was forced. When we had 5 subs at the end of last season, Klopp regularly bought on players for the last 3 minutes. It all seemed a bit pointless.
    I bet you can squeal like a pig!

    This, this, this.

    I know there's a calculated gamble to be had, but if we go full strength against Atalanta and get a win, we open an incredible opportunity for ourselves to get some players rested a touch.
