Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

[bullybeef]

How many players have we got out injured?

How many citeh players have Covid?

I wonder if we’d be made to forfeit in the same situation?

Knowing us, we’d probably do it voluntarily

Didn't we cancel a game against Leeds years ago an hour before KO because of ice on the pavements around the ground?

Think we did.

Game rearranged...which we won IIRC

On the other hand, this is also good for my lagging streams. By the time this one is being played this Sheffield U match is probably finished.

Oh good, now he's takin' Gordon out and bringing in effing Bernard!

Liam Gallagher tweeting some choice words about the postponement...I couldn't possibly reproduce them!

What’s the gist?

 

[PhilM]

Love the way some are using this as a stick to beat the club with.

Never change lads.

It appears that the club weren't even aware of the decision prior to the PL making their final judgement, so I guess their gripe is that Carlo isn't Mystic Meg.

A night game in Martinez’s first season as well, high winds causing debris around the goodison area. Think it might have been against palace? We lost the rearranged fixture.

Palace a few years back as well. GP was falling apart and that Rik Wee lad had flown over. Happens.

Ground staff arent paid by the yard
COVID tests are never useless
Why is somebody travelling to a game 4 hours before it?
Football players training for no reason?

Stretch this.

Also in Carlo's post-match interview after the Sheff U game he was sharply critical that the City game was (then) still going ahead. He was very keen to have it postponed by the sound of it.

Can't pass on an injury though.

What’s the gist?

Virus is bad. Virus can go away for good.

An absolute dog of a night it was.

Think that was a decision by the police on grounds of crowd safety

 

[Johnny Barton]

We need to make it clear that Everton aren’t a club to be walked all over!

Too late for all that I am afraid, thanks to Kenwright making us a nice club.
Just look at how we stood there and did nothing whilst Niasse was the first to be retrospectively banned for simulation, by a panel that included Danny Murphy.

Which they could be.

It does look like they have re adjusted the rules for one of the top teams again though.

In honesty, no bad thing for us. You wouldnt want our players catching it. This feels like a different precedent though

Agree with both- what is needed here is transparency. How many and when did members of the 25 test positive.

This is very much a precedent open to manipulation and needs to shut down quickly.
