Posted December 2, 20195 yr Wednesday night we're at home to Villa and then we have to play Everton away on Saturday morning before a crunch match with Lillie on Tuesday. I'm sick of this, every season we get screwed over like this.

I'm sick of this, every season we get screwed over like this. How would you do it differently? That's the maximum amount of time we could get between Everton and lille. Stop moaning.
December 2, 20195 yr These things balance themselves out and it's part and parcel of being a big club competing in different competitions. Liverpool actually have it worse this time around. 8.15 kick off Wednesday, 3pm kick off Saturday and then 6pm kick off Tuesday for an away game.
December 2, 20195 yr We also have an extra days rest compared to Villa while Everton have an emotionally sapping Merseyside Derby days before facing us. We're happy to take the big money TV deals so as a consequence we have to accept this scheduling.
December 2, 20195 yr If it makes you feel any better, from the Lille game onwards we're not leaving London until the New Year.
December 2, 20195 yr It really doesn't look that bad to me. Other than the trip up to Liverpool we're not playing outside London until the new year. 4/12 Villa (home) 7/12 Everton (away) 10/12 Lille (home) 14/12 Bournemouth (home) 22/12 Tottenham (away/London) 26/12 Southamptom (home) 29/12 Arsenal (away/London)
December 2, 20195 yr Villa are sh*te, Everton are sh*te. And guess what? Lille are sh*te! Nil problemo, me old mucker.
December 2, 20195 yr The season starts for everyone on the same day (+/- 1) and ends on the same day for everyone so, logically, the number of days rest between games must average out the same for every team. The only addition is involvement in other competitions which is a good thing. I often find this siege mentality bewildering but this is an accusation against ‘them’ which really has zero basis.
