Topic: 2015-2016 Fixture List including TV alterations

[livesound]

We'll be fighting relegation by Christmas. Lol.

[pjshaun]

August

8 - Stoke City (A)
22 - Arsenal (A)

September

12 - Manchester United (A)

October

3 - Everton (A)
17 - Tottenham Hotspur (A)
31 - Chelsea (A)

November

21 - Manchester City (A)

Just wow. What was the fixture software smoking?

[Bunter]

What a load of rubbish.

Momentum? Injuries?

So? Everyone else is in the same boat. Injuries randomly happen.

We might go on a stormer opening run and catch teams cold and then fuck up (like usual) against the shite teams.

[James Mac]

Stoke (A), Bournemouth (H), Arsenal (A), West Ham (H), Man Utd (A), Norwich (h), Villa (h), Everton (a) , Spurs (a), Saints (h), Chelsea (a)

I've got us at about 16/33 for that, which wouldn't be terrible I suppose.

[Reds Flag]

The great thing about this fixture list is that we'll be able to go to the scene of our humiliation right off the bat, and win there to make a statement that this season is going to be different. I believe...

Liverpool's first 7 away games - Stoke, Arsenal, Man Utd, Everton, Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester City - ouch

We got 5 points this season from those equivalent games. Tough ask for Rodgers considering one poor result will put him under pressure again.

On the plus side, if we're within touching distance of the leaders on 22nd November we'll win the league.

[Nessy76]

It's about building up some momentum. Getting the top 5 and the bitters in the first 6 away games is the worst possible scenario.

Lucky we go to Stoke first then, so it's only the second worst possible scenario.

[swoopy]

First 7 aways are absolutely awful... Ouch

[toomanysteves]

To be fair we have the easiest run in for the title compared to our rivals ;-)

[paul211b]

The start isn't great but our December/Christmas fixtures are not particularly difficult, neither are our last 7 games of the season. Massive opportunity for us there if we can remain in and around the top 4 come late Autumn and December.

As we see last season, all of our games are difficult.  Don't mind losing to the top 4 teams at there place.  Need to beat the so called lesser sides which we failed to do.

[Tom_B]

Ok let's  all cry then.

People say it's a bad list, you say there's no such thing, people say there is (with reasons).

Who is crying?

[QC]

That's irrelevant.We should sign a top striker this summer anyway.If we don't it will be our fault.

Really? I can't imagine a more relevant scenario in relation to tough fixtures.

[Michel]

Haha, are you 10 years old?

People say it's a bad list, you say there's no such thing, people say there is (with reasons).

Who is crying?

There is not.The fixture list evens up as the season progress.When we'll  have our easy run other teams will have a difficult one and vice versa.

[Nessy76]

Even if we play to title winning form, we'll be well behind the rest of the pack by December. We'll have all the easier fixtures to come, but the cries from the sort of dickheads who phone talksport to demand the manager gets sacked will be deafening.

[GIPPO77]

Tough start, though with a few more additions we can compete.

[carl123uk]

Tough start but its the best time to play the top 6 imo. Does anyone know when sky announce their first set of games?

[Dree]

The only thing you can hope for here is good fixtures at Christmas. Arguably having City and Chelsea away in 2 days in 2013 was crucial. Any poor results will have much bigger causes

[Fitzy.]

Hardest start for some time - all big teams away in first few months.

I'd say it is better than the 2012/13 start.

Pleased we have Stoke from a motivation perspective.

Probably best to see what the transfer market does before we start shooting our collective loud about how we will do.

[Nick110581]

Tevez will relish those matches

[Midekima]

I'm sure our title run season before last was similar. Most games against the top 6 were at home t the Second half the season.

If we can stay within touching distance by xmas we have a great second half of the season and good run in!

[lionel_messias]

Stoke away.

Well said.

[HeartAndSoul]

Knew we'd get Stoke away first game but didn't think we'd get the next 6 away games fucking hell 

Thought we requested to play our first 2 games away from home anyway?

[Woody Boyd]

Home, away, runs, streaks, etc. Dont care. Lets twat'em.

[Aggers-Elbow]

We're fucked lads

[Michel]

Home, away, runs, streaks, etc. Dont care. Lets twat'em.

That's the spirit.

[Fitzy.]

What I do hope is that this thread becomes an opportunity to slaughter the club's transfer policy. I've been looking around for a platform to vent and this might just be it...

[Crosby Nick]

Right, positive hat on - while those opening away games are as tough as can be, on the flip side the home games look very winnable. What we have to do is take care of those, come out of the aways as unscathed as possible and we'll be in ok shape with things to get easier

[Smudgester]

Anybody dismissing the momentum argument needs their head examined.

Anyone got the Europa League group stage dates ?

[Scouser-Tommy]

January
12 - Arsenal (H)
16 - Manchester United (H)

Nice couple of home games within short space there

[Fordy]

Tough, tough, tough set of fixtures. If I was Rodgers I would be thinking shit!

Only positive is that every team has to play a club twice no matter what.

[CraigDS]

Meh, you've got to play them at some time, may as well get them out the way.

If we're to have a good season then we'd have to get some sort of points at those games whenever we played them. What better way to get the memory of last season out of the players (and fans) minds than by doing it at the start of the season and building up some confidence.

[Simplexity]

Not the kindest fixture list, but if we somehow come out of that gauntlet relatively unscathed you'd think we'd be in pretty good shape.

[b_joseph]

Jesus....all those away games vs the better teams in the league immediately. Difficult is tame.

[lamonti]

Actually you know what it's a great start. Acid test, with no more handy signifier than back to the Britannia. Might get worse before it gets better.

[Alan_X]

OK cleared out the 'we need a striker' bollocks.

WE KNOW!!!!!

This is the 2015-16 fixture list thread.

Carry on.

[Dave D]

Ifithadntbeenforthefixturelist

I'm sure the players will show great character and with a wee bit of luck we could find ourselves in the top half of the league by Christmas which would be about par.

[ashleyrose-66]

People looking at the fixture list and fucking crying because our first 7 away games are against Stoke, Arsenal, Man Utd, Everton, Spurs, Chelsea & City are clearly forgetting that we lost at Crystal Palace, West Ham, Hull City & Newcastle last season!!

Doesn't matter who we play first, or all those away games in a row are against - If we don't generally improve on last season, then it will be shite.

We could get to December and be in the top 4 with people thinking "we have a chance because all the tough games are out the way" and then go to Newcastle and be horrific again like last season!
 

[Phil M]

Right, positive hat on - while those opening away games are as tough as can be, on the flip side the home games look very winnable. What we have to do is take care of those, come out of the aways as unscathed as possible and we'll be in ok shape with things to get easier

I just hope we can deal with the pressure of being top of the table in November.
