Because they're elite sides in a title race and we are just some duffers.
That said, we do have an ok run of fixtures in terms of opponents.

Just noticed our 2nd semi final leg is scheduled for Tuesday night, just 48hrs after Fulham away. Surely that will be moved to the Wednesday?

Not going to shout out "conspiracy" but we also have one the longest to travel as well according to this report
Since the last international weekend, till when we play the united game, we would have played 15 games over 50 days.
So just under an average over 3 days per game.

Klopp’s complaining about the fixtures over Christmas for the last two years worked then!

Or maybe it just evens itself out over a period of a few seasons?
Tbh even though we have the least rest days it actually doesn’t hamper us much as opponents are virtually the same re previous match. Only Bournemouth have an extra days rest on us everyone else the same. Also even though we have to play Tranmere on the Friday it actually works out quite well giving us an extra day for Chelsea 1st leg. Just need to 100% make sure that tranmere isn’t a draw as that is a crucial rest week after United.

Plus if you look at all our opponents we have a much deeper squad (even with current injuries) so should be able to rotate and retain a higher level of quality than all of our opponents

If we want to win trophies we are going to have to play a lot of games every season. Our would people prefer that Arsenal had put us out of the cup so that we get some extra rest before the United game in January?
Let's imagine we have the same Xmas schedule as Liverpool who are apparently being looked after here. That means playing Arsenal on Weds night then playing Everton tonight (Friday) which people would be up in arms about. It would then mean playing Cardiff on Jan 3 then Tranmere on Jan 4th which is insane.
This is the sort of crap we need to get out of our minds as a fanbase in my opinion. We're a big club and we're going to be playing a lot of games each year with not much rest in between. Let's stop acting like wet blankets.

Also other teams will prioritise. Not checked but say Bournemouth have what they see as a winnable match 3 days after us they will prioritise that hopefully. Wolves actually have a very small squad. In reality we couldn’t have hand picked our Xmas schedule much better.

The TV schedules generally seem to schedule Spurs to play last and always in catch up. Just look at the Leicester season where we played 3 Monday fixtures in a row. We've just got to keep winning games and see where we are in Feb.

Apart from last weekend. And the weekend after Christmas. And the first game in January. And the first game in February. And other times through the rest of the season once the TV scheduling is sorted I would image.
Thinking that we get a bad rub with scheduling is just confirmation bias. Nothing really there.
Like you say, we've just got to keep winning games. Let's forget about scheduling... let's forget about Poch rumours... let's just keep racking up those wins.
Honestly don’t mind Klopp, yeah he’s a bit of a clown at times but at least he’s entertaining. As opposed to Mourinho that made you wanna jump off a cliff. The only trouble with Klopp is that he feeds the whole Liverpool supporter frenzy. If it gets into a real tight title struggle I could see him going all keegan and having a total meltdown.
I think his emotions on the side-lines are fake. Can't bear that. Of all the managers of our opponents, Pep is the only one bearable.
I dont mind Klopp also and he was very fair in his comments BUT I mind Liverscum - I hate them more than any club out there including Arse, West Spam and Chelscum. I cannot stand them and their fans.

Personally I didn't really like him, doesn't seem so bad after reading his remarks on us.
I just find the over zealous celebrations really fucking annoying.
