Villa Request Everton Postponement

[Drico]

Liverpool are Liverpool. Isn't the same.

That's true, but it's trumped by one simple fact:

Everton is Everton. And they are very much the same.

Sod of Villa

Play your baby team like you did vs RS

Honestly I’d be fine with it, more time to get players fully fit.

 

[Lloydystark]

We would say yes cos I did think we had some values left as a club.

But people will see it as us being a soft touch.

Yet we would call Villa all sorts if the shoe was on the other foot and considering how this whole thing is going, it might well be at some point.

If the fa cup game they’d played Friday had been postponed I’d say yes but I can’t help think “it’s only a cup game let’s play the kids” came into it now it’s a league game it’s different

 

[Lloydystark]

Just like we did against Liverpool's kids in the cup last year.

Oh.

There average age was like 25 that game...the whole kids thing is rubbish. Villa literally played there kids Friday

Honestly fair is fair. Corona is a serious concern and the safety of the players is paramount. If Villa can't compete due to complications its seriously something to consider. Will be gutted though as I think we could beat them

Well of course its different.

Who even cares about cup games, teams often play youth and reserve teams.

If it’s postponed, at least Doucoure will miss the Sheff Wed game instead of this.

He wouldn’t, he’d miss the visit of Leicester. Yellows accumulated in the league don’t count for cups

As Sean Dyche said, I don't know why every player and close staff member at PL clubs doesn't get vaccinated. Not free of course. Instead use it as revenue earner for the NHS. Charge them through the nose (say £30-£40,000 per club for 40 staff). Thats £0.8m raised. Could even charge more. Clubs would save on all their Covid testing anyway. Less than £1m cost to ensure the season continues to its conclusion. No brainer.

To lose another game would screw our schedule later in the season especially if we advance in the cup

Allan should be fit for the Sheffield Wed and Leicester games hopefully. Pretty sure this weekend will be too soon.

People wanting it to be called off so we get a nice break did you not see how that worked for us against West Ham. If they can field a team they should if not then call it off but City called are game off then played Chelsea not long after. Villa have till Sunday to get a team together.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'd prefer to play because we have 5 days to prepare which isn't too bad.

But I doubt we will have any say in the matter.

 

[Pabbers]

Better for us if its off, doucs will miss the cup game instead then.
