\"Liverpool Dalglish believes the opening games should have been delayed<\/span> <\/p>\n

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has questioned the wisdom of starting the new season after a round of midweek internationals.<\/p>\n

The Premier League opens on Saturday 13 August, less than 72 hours after many players will have played in friendlies.<\/p>\n

On the previous Wednesday England play the Netherlands at Wembley and Scotland are at home to Denmark.<\/p>\n

“I would ask why the season is starting on a Saturday when there are friendlies the midweek before,” said Dalglish.<\/p>\n

“Clubs are doing their best to bring in good players and that usually means they are international players.<\/p>\n

“There is a free week after the first weekend so I don’t understand why we can’t start the season on a Sunday to prevent players having to travel back on a Wednesday night in time for a Saturday start.<\/p>\n

“If you are going to have international games then have them but surely it makes sense to put the league games back a day if it’s possible. To me it’s common sense.”<\/p>\n

Among the other matches due to be played on 10 August is a Euro 2012 qualifier between Northern Ireland and the Faroe Islands.<\/p>\n

Other friendly internationals scheduled include the Republic of Ireland versus Croatia and Italy against Spain. In addition Germany play Brazil, France take on Chile and Romania meet Argentina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
