As there are currently four better teams from League B in Play-Off positions at present I guess they'll move into the League A Play-Offs and so potentially face Switzerland | Iceland
Of course if Wales and / or Republic of Ireland seal automatic qualification then I imagine Northern Ireland go into League B Play-Offs
England qualify Henderson and Gomez pull out of the 2nd game
Netherlands qualify VVD pulls out of the 2nd game for personal reasons
Scotland cant qualify Robertson pulls out of the 2nd game
Klopp clearly had a word with them all
And now Alexander-Arnold has been replaced...
Ox also came off, as Mane did in both games for Senegal (Sarr was on the bench for both games), Salah also didn’t play for Egypt.
Sefibitely seems as though Liverpool had an arrangement with most of their players national teams.
Scummy. Man u used to do it when fergie was boss too
I agree, it winds me up. Same with the amount of players across all nations who withdraw from the original squad because of ‘injury’ but they’ll play full 90 minutes without trouble in the next club game.
God knows what happened to the word ‘definitely’ in my previous post. Edited now!
I think Southgate is showing some authority lately tho. Hes certainly not gonna let players walk back into the team if he thinks they dont deserve it. As long as he goes with his approach and does not bow to press and pressure, then i will support that. Years of England players pulling out of squads was embarassing and should not be allowed to start again
Klopp heading the dizzy heights of being a complete wanker is approaching know he’s not well liked but Roy Keane said about similar with the Everton boys that played for Ireland, and koemann trying to get involved in international duties
We were all fuming that Lyle went out to play for Montserrat after he got injured. We can’t have it both ways. Liverpool’s players are multi-million pound assets, I don’t blame Klopp one bit for not wanting them risked in dead rubbers.

Yeah but yeah but Charlton/football fans are as blinkered as they come . we play a weakened team it’s to protect our players for the play offs and affects others down there when Liverpool did it against Fulham and it affected us in the Prem days the tear drops , double standards I think they call it

Scotland/England and Holland are not the same level as monserrat
you can’t have world class players and them not play for there international teams.
englands game was not a dead rubber it was a competitive fixture.
the same as when we all have a moan at big sides playing weakened sides in cups - it’s the same issue, Gareth Southgate is the England manager if players are fit and he wants to play them then that is it, if they don’t want to play and are fit but want to put there club first then fuck them and don’t let them walk back into the team.

We'd qualified, they couldn't, we were guaranteed top, they were guaranteed third, the game meant absolutely nothing in terms of the table placings. That's the very definition of a dead rubber.

apologies i was referring to it not being a friendly.
anyway still maintain that club managers should have little sway on national teams
we know Lyle got injured whilst away now i am no expert but would people agree that
England, Scotland and Holland have better facilities than
England qualify Henderson and Gomez pull out of the 2nd game
Netherlands qualify VVD pulls out of the 2nd game for personal reasons
Scotland cant qualify Robertson pulls out of the 2nd game

Definitely seems as though Liverpool had an arrangement with most of their players national teams.
Wijnaldum was also absent for the Dutch on Saturday
He was apparently genuinely ill, so nothing to do with Klopp and he will captain the Dutch side in their game tomorrow night.
Looking at some of Liverpool's other absentees though, Klopp has definitely had a word. Can bet your life at least 3 of Robertson, Salah, VVD and Henderson will be fit to play next weekend.
But then Sterling (by chance) missed one of the games, maybe he would only have been sub if he played the first game as Rashford was only on the bench for the second game, Stones was rested for the second game, Sancho was rested for the second game, Mount was just a late sub etc
TAA hardly got much rest, seeing that he played 84 minutes yesterday. Leicester might be glad that Maddison didn't get too many minutes...

N.Ireland pushing on trying to get a winner and Netherlands not making the most of the gaps
As there are currently four better teams from League B in Play-Off positions at present I guess they'll move into the League A Play-Offs and so potentially face Switzerland | Iceland
Of course if Wales and / or Republic of Ireland seal automatic qualification then I imagine Northern Ireland go into League B Play-Offs
Its where it all gets confusing
Henderson and Gomez pull out of the 2nd game
Netherlands qualify
VVD pulls out of the 2nd game for personal reasons
Scotland cant qualify
Robertson pulls out of the 2nd game
Klopp clearly had a word with them all
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020_qualifying_play-offs#Draw
Scotland will be facing one of Bulgaria | Israel | Romania in their Play-Off Semi-Final
Northern Ireland will go into Path B if two teams out of Denmark | Wales | Slovakia | Republic of Ireland get automatic qualification
Would be great for Kosovo to get through considering they are such a new nation in footballing terms

Kosovo/England was a dead rubber in all but name - England had already qualified. Kosovo already planning for the playoffs.

that is there last 3 opponents.

They've got Palarse.
TAA hardly got much rest, seeing that he played 84 minutes yesterday. Leicester might be glad that Maddison didn't get too many minutes...
Rashford was a sub, Stones was a sub and Mount a sub(all there and abroad still)
All availble if Gareth wanted.
Gomez, Henderson and VVD all withdrew and went home, so got home early and probably trained with there team today ahead of the weekend.
The names u mentioned probably flew back today and wont train until Wednesday most likely
