Match Thread Burnley v Everton. Sunday Dec 26th. 3pm

Feel sorry for our fans, it is not on this one iota, why should Leeds with five Covid cases the same as us be postponed?Oh I see who they were due to playlol,I feel the only message to put out to this wholly corrupt set up would be to put a team of ten out, no subs and Begovic up front.

It wasn't just the five Covid cases at Leeds mate, they also had other players out with injuries and other illnesses, that's why they couldn't field a team.

I thought it was only down to Covid causing postponements?You may well be right, but surely we have as many unavailable with non covid issues too?

Begovic might back a decent Striker if needed

I think it's down to being able to field a team no matter what mate. I'm wondering if we're still able to go with the starting 11 that played Chelsea and that's why we've been knocked back.

Is Lonergan on the bus

Think he’s driving it

 

[Gaffa]

As I said earlier in the thread, can’t believe so many so called fans want the game off

 

[catcherintherye]

This will get binned in the next 24 hours. And rightly so.

The utter 'kin scabs of the PL, drawing their massive salaries and throwing people under the Covid bus to assuage this government's agenda, need to be taught a massive lesson.

Do you want to know who I blame a lot for this? Klopp.

Shouting his mouth off and has caused some people to drag their feet.

Eleven players missing????

Go and have another think.

Why?? Must win game and the same after that against Newcastle. No excuses valid for me against this calibre of opposition.

 

[dublinbluenose]

I'm kinda torn on this. Is there a number that maybe teams cannot be expected to go below or should they be made play using U23's.

It should be the same rule for every team though applied fairly and equally.

The rules are we need 14 first team players but thays anyome who has played any first team football

Imagine starting a GK up front or something. It wouldn't surprise me at all. It would get a tongue in cheek mention in motd and that would be it. "and lastly we go to Burnley, where Everton had to field a goalkeeper at centre forward and named no substitutes because of Covid..."
Different set of rules for the RS

 

[Mosh Pit]

It's over.

You're like on of those Japanese soldiers dug in deep in a Pacific Island jungle in 1950 who haven't been told the 2nd World War is over.

?

As soon as Rondon starts, the waiter will fall

You do realise that Newcastle took six points off us last season.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Still trying to make sense of it all, Leeds I can understand their game going down as they just about got a team out against Arsenal last week but didn’t Leicester get our game with them called off last week because of 3 cases? Yet we’re being made to play despite having 5 on top of injuries?

Good job Richy is not fit and won't have to face that Burnley animal forget his name Tarkovsky or suchlike who near crippled him last time.
