dunlopp9987 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 2 hours ago, Bill said: If we were 16th in the league would you play your reserves against any team above you because you didn't fancy your chances. ? Must always play the best team available and if anybody wants to cry off because they're feeling tired I wouldn't want them a the Club. This sounds like something said by someone who sees a player go down with a head knock and says "oh get up and play through it" instead of worrying about concussion. Just seems very tone deaf not to consider the fixture congestion and fatigue levels possibly contributing to an injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 If they have enough players healthy and little risk then let’s beat their under 18s!! If not, the rest will do our team good. And a tired West Ham against a rested Everton next week sounds good to me! Skybet have cancelled all bets. Looks like it’s done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbanyNYToffee Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Will miss the squad debate, but this is fantastic news for us. We'll be healthier and better rested when it's rearranged and City will likely be back playing in champions league and will rotate. COYB.

Wiggytop Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hope city players recover OK, and glad their not bringing it to us via the game. Think this is overall good for us, we now get 6 days rest between games, so hopefully we can field strongest team against West Ham, then it’s the FA so we can rest a few, and when the games rescheduled we’ve both strengthened in the January window and key payers are back and fit Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesey05 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just reading that clubs should still play if they have 14 players available including youth. suits us with our injuries but if the other 3 were KDB, Sterling etc I would want a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surely they’d be made to play this after all its only 5 of there squad that have it so still have plenty of players at their disposal to make a team, and of that 5 they might need the rest anyway they must surely be tired by now so won’t be missed. Or are City asking for it to be cancelled because they like all teams want to put out there best team, like any team would want to do at the top of the league clash. 17 minutes ago, Cisk said: Blessing in disguise...much needed rest for the team. No worries about resting players now For City we would have rather have played this with the form we are in, City with be relieved, Ancelotti would have wanted to play this he won’t be thinking the players can have a rest he’ll be thinking we’ve missed out on a very good opportunity to put more space us and them, only the Larry lightweights will see this as a good result.

Popular Post Bailey Posted December 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I think its clear that its not going around the City training ground. They might know of 5 so far but I expect that to increase. If they played the game and that spread to our players, we would have even more out. That is before thinking about the individuals and their families health. It sounds like the right call from my point of view.

Elston Gunnn Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 I’d guess Wed Jan 20 for reschedule. If we beat Rotherham, we could have 8 matches in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Split on this, is this City crying wolf? At the same time we are several players down and many of the others fatigued so on balance a decent call for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 They have Europe, both domestic cups and are already a game behind in the league. I’d be shocked if they actually wanted this especially with our injuries and our close Christmas schedule.

How the fuck can you give it Davies? What about that pass back that he would have hit to hard and scored an own goal? What about that open goal he aimed for, and missed the target and hit Palfys glass of champagne? And that sending off would have been ridiculous!
