It's our tough shit - we'll have new players to integrate, players at the olympics, players hung over from international duty
Dunno - it's obviously not a huge deal but it is a shit start and we could have done with an easy one this year

But every Club aiming for a title challenge will be in the same boat with players at the Euros, some even have a manager there, players at the Olympics, new players to integrate, some have a new manager to integrate etc...

We will be fortunate enough to have a manager who has had 8 months already at the Club in charge. Plenty of players for those opening fixtures who will have had full pre-seasons with us - Lovren, Flanagan, Ings, Gomez, Matip, Ojo, Branagan, etc...

Who will we have at the Olympics? Firmino maybe, Karius? That's not that bad.

I would much, much rather go to Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs etc... early doors when they haven't built up any momentum or fitness or form.

Fuck it - we play them all home and away. Look at Arsenal, City and Chelsea's run-in compared to ours. It evens itself out.

Yep, its a bastard of a start but if we can ride it out, we have an awesome run-in if we're tilting at top 4 or the title.

Brilliant this. Its hard to imagine a better start to the season than beating last years top 3 in the first four games, and then smacking Chelsea at the bridge for a perfect five.

Up the Reds.

My thoughts exactly

Anyone knows how the ticketting system will work this season?
Cat A, B and C or another type of system?

Our start last season was pretty difficult too, wasn't it.

Last season was far, far worse than this. I'm liking our run in, especially when you compare it to the one Spurs have. Ouch.

paulrazor · « **Reply #166 on:** June 15, 2016, 11:00:07 am »

only had a look at other teams there

none of them compare to our start

We always seem to have a trickier start than most...it's the computer doing it tho

Ski · « **Reply #168 on:** June 15, 2016, 11:03:12 am »

Tough start and really tough Feb/Mar run of games but hoping we're challenging come the last 6 games as on paper we appear to have the easiest run in.

The manager will have us ready and raring to go!

Another tough start like last season but the run-up is good. Why didn't the FA just give us two aways in a row instead of making us have to write to Burnley? I'm sure they'll agree but it just seems like making hard work of it.
Oh and I assume West Brom will automatically agree to move the away game since they were so good with us last season with their Hillsborough commemorations.

funny thing is its that type of run in we always struggle with
its them type of games that are the bread and butter points needed to be successful

Why do we need WBA to move their game?

keyo · « **Reply #178 on:** June 15, 2016, 12:17:54 pm »

Arsenal away. And possibly no home game until september due to work at the ground (planned this time). Shades of 87? May have to come over especially for the opener at Arsenal to replicate my attendance then. I look forward to a huge number of 4-0 wins this coming season. 😀

PeterTheRed ... · « **Reply #179 on:** June 15, 2016, 12:19:24 pm »

Excellent draw. Win the first 5 games, and never look back.

Great start. Really make a statement when we've 15 points on the board in September and four home games in hand.

Its possible the home game to Burnley to go ahead?

If it is re-arranged it will probably be known early August,some sources saying the game will go ahead.

Does anybody know an easy way to be notified when fixtures are moved for TV etc?

BeautifulGame91 · « **Reply #186 on:** June 15, 2016, 12:38:47 pm »

Sanchez most likely not be available due to Copa America .Same with Ozil and Giroud as Germany and France should go deep in Euros .

So we will most likely face an Arsenal side severely weakened .Arsenal don't start that well as well.Remeber them losing at home to West ham and Villa in last 2 seasons .

Also IIRC the only times we had positive results against Arsenal away in recent times were when we played them very early in the season . Last season draw and the win under Kenny .

So don't think it's a bad think to start Arsenal away .And a win against Arsenal could be a huge confidence booster for the season

This is quite good from premier league I found, you can sync it to your calendar on any device for any club's fixtures. I believe it will automatically update the timings for moved fixtures as well.

Henry Kissinger · « **Reply #189 on:** June 15, 2016, 12:49:17 pm »

The start could be worse you know, I mean, we could be Swansea supporters. They have an absolutely stinking first 8 games. Worst time to face newly promoted teams is early on - two of those to begin with - then a nightmare run of Leicester, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Southampton.

Silver linings and all that...

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #190 on:** June 15, 2016, 12:54:43 pm »

Likely to be Sunday game or Saturday evening?

Not at all fazed by that to be honest. You have to play them all at some stage, and I'd rather play them away before they have a chance to build up some momentum.

This ^^^^^^

I'd much prefer play those teams early in the season

planet-terror · « **Reply #192 on:** June 15, 2016, 01:16:13 pm »

Make no mistake,,There wont be many teams wanting to meet us that early in the season either.Especially after Herr Klopp has a full preseason under his belt..

Gnurglan · « **Reply #193 on:** June 15, 2016, 01:16:55 pm »

Tough start to the season. Arsenal, Spurs, Leicester and Chelsea early on. I think it's a good thing. With my usual take on it, those are 'bonus games' and thus we have a great opportunity to gain points on the others from the start.

Shanklygates · « **Reply #194 on:** June 15, 2016, 01:18:05 pm »

Ok, which kind person would like to integrate the cup games into our fixtures list?

I know someone usually does and it's really helpful - maybe even noting the Euro games too if we are due to play any in it right after!

Don't want much do it?!

Thanks!

We are not Middlesborough or Burnley. These aren't bonus games, these are games we have to take something from if we want to get to where we need to be (4th-1st).

Im in two minds over the fixtures. If we come away unbeaten, or with 1 defeat and a couple of wins, then great! Come away with a few defeats and a draw or two, then we are chasing the pack from the start. As Leicester and history have shown, its best to be up around the top from the start.

Loving that run in. We will be contenders this year lads.

Talking Reds · « **Reply #197 on:** June 15, 2016, 01:47:15 pm »

From what I've read on Klopp's pre-season plans, I'd imagine we'll be one of the fittest teams going in to next season. Getting these tough games out of the way while others are still settling in could play in to our hands.

Mr_Shane · « **Reply #198 on:** June 15, 2016, 02:17:40 pm »

Everyone will have a difficult run of games at some point or other. We get ours out of the way first

wemmick · « **Reply #199 on:** June 15, 2016, 02:26:52 pm »

Glad to have a tough start. Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all have players in the Euros and Copa America. They won't be up to speed yet. We won't be, either, but I think it's an advantage for us on the road. April and May look amazing.
