You said that it's a common trope amongst Liverpool fans. I guess I represent the entire fan base lol.

And yes it is true - Teams in England play more games in a shorter amount of time than their counterparts on the continent. That's not conjecture it's fact.

Just for curiosity I used this new tool called Google to search this trend.

The passage that sticks out "I don't mean to single out Liverpool, but it does seem to be a common theme that it's them who complain the most about the Premier League schedule. 19 other teams have to play the same number of games, give or take a few depending on progress in the cups."

USMNT v Trinidad and Tobago...

Somebody take a freaking shot.

Soooo slow in possession. Way too narrow. Would like to see Gio or Tillman playing behind balogun rather than out "wide."

A blog from an Arsenal blogger for Fansided    Might as well be Bleacher Report.  Impressive journalistic credibility when you use crybaby in your headline.

You're seriously that desperate you're going to the esteemed soccer journalist kian long, the same kian long with approximately 322 twitter followers? You're going to fansided? The website where literally any moron with an internet connection can post an article ?

Further context to that interview is below. It has nothing to do with comparing the premier league's fixture congestion against other leagues domestic schedule. Vvd was more critical of the international schedule and the advent of nations league games in addition to the busy English domestic schedule.

Serious question - are you kian long?

Lifeless for 80 min, half of it against 10 men...then explode for 3.  Jedi's goal was a belter

[brewcity77]

Turned on the U17 France/USA match when I saw it was 1-0 late and Nimfa was coming on. 10 minutes later and we're down 3-0. Disappointing finish.

Everton point deduction...I think they still stay up. They've showed themselves very organized under dyche.

We'll see what happens with city and Chelsea.

[tower912]

Shoot more often than last game.

More purposeful buildup play. Play through balogun instead of spamming worthless crosses his direction.

Maybe ggg expirements ?

At least he's putting gio in the middle

[tower912]

Ouch.

Nice temper tantrum.

With an appropriate result.

I'm going to say something that is probably over the top BUT - he should never play for the usmnt again after that. Absolutely pathetic

[tower912]

Is this an aberration?   Is he known for erratic behavior?

Extremely - but generally in a loving way. He's known for posting personal highlight mixtape type videos win or lose every Monday. He can be a highly volatile player.

You're right, it's over the top. But he definitely deserves to be suspended for a few matches. Ridiculous behavior.

They were playing really nice attacking soccer today too.

[tower912]

And then to continue to argue with his teammates about it.

[tower912]

My goodness.

No reason to ever play again. Scally can easily step in and not miss a beat. Tyler Adams can play that role which opens up the midfield a bit. There are options and he's very easily expendable.

If others grade out better at LB then by all means play them, but if Dest is deemed the best option there in a year, he should play.

[jesmu84]

Was tonight an example of why Dest has not meshed well with his club teams?

No he shouldn't. Imagine something like that happening in the copa. A decision like that completely sinks a team. Scally is a completely different player, but is much more reliable in many different facets of the game than Dest.

I don't think he was talented enough to stay in the team at Barca. Never really given much of a chance during his loan spell at Milan. Otherwise has played well at Ajax and psv.
