       Oliver now won't be able to do the re-arranged game as he'll be
       away with FIFA, so unless he gets appointed to next week's
       fixture instead, his wait for a League Cup appearance will go
       on!

       Really don't get this.  If it is postponed it will have to be
       played in the next 4 weeks and they just won't have bandwidth to
       do it.  They had similar with the World Club Championship and
       played a reserve / youth team. struggling to see why they don't
       do the same here.

       It's ridiculous......didn't Orient get kicked out for not
       fielding a team against Spurs!!
       Liverpool should get the boot too!!!!!

       I believe they were kicked out because they couldnt fulfill the
       fixture prior to the dates for the next round.
       In this case Liverpool have until end of feb, ie when the final
       is due to be played.
       With regard to Oliver’s wait, i believe he was earmarked for a
       semi second leg last season but eufa had a seminar
       Ruling out all our eufa refs, mike dean ended up with a game in
       each leg of the semis, so he refereed all 4 semi finalists.

       They won't have until the end of February as they will need at
       least a couple of weeks to sort out things like ticketing
       arrangements, marketing material, etc.  They will want it played
       by the end of January.

       Why on earth there needs to be a two-legged semi final in the
       league cup is beyond me.

       Come on ryan80, it's obvious! It is just another excuse for
       managers, players, tea ladies et al to moan like mad about the
       number of fixtures that they have to fuflil. No doubt messrs
       Klopp, Artete, Conte and Tuchel will sound off at some stage
       about this --probably just before their club embarks on a close
       season tour of exotic places to make more money!

       I think the EFL had to pay Sky quite a significant rebate last
       season due to the semi finals only being 1 leg instead of 2.
       Presumably similar would have happened if Liverpool hadn't been
       able to play at all. If the EFL can be financially compensated
       for reverting to 1 leg then maybe it will happen one day but I'm
       sure they're not willingly just going to lose the money.

       I'm not sure that's quite right - the first leg is now at
       Anfield on 13th January. The second leg will be at Arsenal on
       20th but, as mentioned, I thought Oliver was at a FIFA seminar
       from 17-21 Jan?
