Villa Request Everton Postponement

[hktoffee]

No. Villa can play their u23.

They've got 9 players out but can return to training Saturday for the game Sunday.

That means 16 first team squad players plus under 23s to use

The 9 returning players can light train Saturday be in the squad for Sunday.

Unless they're an absolute outbreak where none of their teams can train, it shouldn't be called off.

End of the day their last game with the 1st team squad was 1st Jan. That's 17 days. If they don't have their [Poor language removed] in order, the League should fine them

But no doubt we'll agree to postpone.

Play your baby team like you did vs RS

Id be worried their kids would dominate Davies and Gomes with Doucoure suspended.

 

[GwladysBlue]

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

Since when? They used to.

No - they literally cant. They must have 14 of their 25 available

That’s what I’m thinking but we’re going to have to play that awful midfield at some point so I’d rather we play it against either their kids or an unfit first team. Leicester would rinse us.

 

[mccole]

They have had plenty of warning and time to icolate.

They even had an extra 24hrs, sorry but play what you have.

We still haven't gotten an answer regarding the City postponement or a fixture set.

Plenty of clubs like Newcastle, Fulham, Tottenham, City etc have been affected and they impact has been slight, we can't afford more and more pileups

 

[messymascot]

This game should not be called off unless absolutely necessary. Villa are already behind with fixtures. Its not like they are in relegation danger so it won't cost them millions if they lose a few.

This is Barkley doing this, running scared

 

[hallamblue]

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

The rules are different. They had to play a team in the cup or forfeit the game.

Supposedly some of Villa's better U23's had been training with the first team so had to self isolate as well.

 

[JMT]

I'd take the postponement and get Allan back for Leicester.

 

[jinkyali]

I wonder if we may look to play City on 20th.
Currently they're down to play Villa but if Villa postpone our game, surely they can't play 48 hours later?

It may be we play City in the previous cancelled game.

It's been in place for a few years now
