Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

[Huyton Layne]

That must be an American TV schedule.

Those kick off times are bizarre.

A lot of sites automatically change it to the region you are in. Helps me from doing bad maths and missing parts of games.

Meh. We've won games when we have had little recovery time and lost the ones when we got a break. We haven't beat rs in 100 years the under 16s included so i dont care. When we do beat them its going be a situation like this when we feel the chips are stacked against us anyway I feel.

Arsed

 

[Davideeyore]

Disappointed with the shoehorning do we put a second string out with a view to the game afterwards?
Hard to get at Citeh unless we're at full strenght with Allan back

Called this yesterday in the match thread.

There's a lot of games coming up mate. We know James has fitness issues. Playing United at the weekend and Spurs in the cup next Wednesday. City have a free midweek between the 13h and 20th too, so don't be shocked if our postponed game is rearranged for then, and it's the Anfield derby the week after.

If the manager choses today is the best game to rest him I have no beef with that.

City have to re-arrange a game for the league cup final, and if they continue their run in the FA Cup, as you would expect, further premier games will also need to be re-arranged. If they stay in the Champions League to the later stages they won't have any free dates to play these games, so they will be forced to play multiple games midweek similar to Arsenal a couple of seasons ago. They were always going to try and re-arrange the game for this date in my opinion.

Their fixture list is actually more ridiculous than ours. This game is sandwiched between league games against Spurs and Arsenal, followed by a Champions League tie against Borrussia. We have Fulham at home so could possibly rest one or two players, and revert to one game a week after the derby. Also they will still be without KDB and we'll hopefully have Allan back by then. Possibly as good a time to play them as we'll get.

Oh, and those fixture times in that link are wrong Khal. The kick off times for the midweek games against Spurs and City are both 8.15 pm.

Duno why you would be relaxed after this news

FA protection for redshite

 

[JMT]

It would be the same thing if we was playing in Europe, Let's not cry like little girls now.

Had to arrange it for the week of the Derby didn’t they.

Pep will have us chasing the ball around the pitch for 90 mins then we have to put up with Running Man FC a few days later.

 

[blue61]

Don't worry lids, Ben Godfrey can play 15 games in 5 days without breaking sweat.

 

[Blueclouds]

Let's just get on with it.

Sit back, counter, score 3, 3 points.

Go to Anfield, counter, score 3, 3 points

Premier league are so far up their arses its unreal , scream covid and put out the kids against city.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Who would have predicted the FA would try to bum us with the scheduling of this fixture?

 

[degsy]

Let's just get on with it.

One game at a time - which is United.
Worry about next week, next week.

 

[PITA]

The RS play Leipzig the day before. Not ideal these quick turnarounds, think we as a club should've had a bigger say on when these are replayed given that we were ready to play on the original day.

RS might be given a 3-0 win without playing Leipzig. EFC that.

 

[PITA]

5 games in 15 days, sound

If we win our next 5 games we’re doing the double.
