Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

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.

Well I'd imagine it will be difficult, in fact illegal to falsify testing information, but there doesnt seem to have been that much scrutiny.

This benefits us make no mistake.

We wouldn't have gotten a sniff tonight.

Hopefully results elsewhere are kind and we can beat a tired WHU and stay in the top 4 heading into the new year.

Definitely benefits us.

I'm really looking forward to West Ham now.

I agree that I'd rather take a Wednesday fixture later than a Monday one right now.

I don't know that we wouldn't have 'gotten a sniff', but a point would have been a great result and that is not how you want to go into your home fixtures.

 

[Groucho]

That would drive more wrong behaviour. The pressure would be for clubs not to report.

Fair point

 

[Thomasc]

Really worked well for us this, especially if James and Richy are available for WH on Friday.

Way I see it would rather we play them with Richarlison/James/Allan/Digne available with having had a weeks rest than a tiring Siggurdsson/Gomes/Davies slugging it out on the pitch tonight with DCL getting no service.

My apologies, just googled it the game in 1993 went ahead - I remember not going to it due to thick fog that night.

20 years ago this Wednesday (Dec 30th 2000). Where do the years go?!

100% agree about that - you're looking for 3 and disappointed with 1 that way, instead of counting your lucky stars if you eke 1 out the way we would be today.

Paul Joyce saying it's 3 more players.




And they found out yesterday!!?!!

That's it? 3 more players?

No way.
