Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Jamo Martinez]

It'll never go back if they give in and do it now.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

So during a period of you not being able to go to games, just because teams have the option of extra subs, when the game returns to normal and you're allowed back in you won't go because of it. LOL.

That is not in any way what I'm saying so please try again

I think it fundamentally changes the game as you add more and more subs. You'll start to have players who know they're only playing 60 minutes running themselves into the ground and the big clubs will be stockpiling players so they can always have options off the bench.

Maybe not but it’s a welfare thing. Schedule is far too packed till May to not do it. We had it for Project Restart and that was less condensed than it is now. Far too many muscle injuries at the minute.

It's not condensed if you aren't in Europe. It is just another case of big clubs wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Maybe just one time we can say no.

My apologies.

Just like the teams that play in Europe Everton will also soon be playing around 3 games every 7 days and today C.A. said that for the welfare of the players, he is also for the extra subs.

We have 3 subs. We obviously did say no.

 

[TheBigIguana]

We have 3 subs. We obviously did say no.

We should continue to say no.

As I said before the issue is that it won't go back when the schedule does. Do it now and it stays forever and the rich clubs that can afford 25 person squads with quality players have that advantage forever.

I think it is a bad idea. The Christmas schedules isn't any more or less demanding than usual for Everton.

I think it is a bad idea. The Christmas schedules isn't any more or less demanding than usual for Everton.

But let's assume you go further than normal in the F.A. Cup and also possible extra League cup games, it would then be a continuous heavy schedule through Christmas and onwards for the rest of the season.

Then that is the price you pay for being successful.

...with regards to Everton, that’s a big opening assumption...

 

[H.H.]

Then that is the price you pay for being successful.

Oh I quite like the idea that playing extra games in a season makes you successful ;-).
"Spurs the most successful team in the premier league to never win anything."

...so it’s not one that Everton will have to pay
