dunlopp9987 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I'm watching NBCSN right now and they're airing their festive fixtures ad, promoting 40 matches in 17 days. Be lucky if we get half of that at the rate we're going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our “first” team probably gets rolled by Chelsea. Youngsters impressed and the “first” team players have to be on notice now. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Where the fuck do these players go to catch Covid, they've got the best medical teams in the country and are having tests every other day. FFS the clubs should be fined and made to play. This is playing fuck with my Fantasy Footy team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Apparently they majority of their issues are down to injuries and the AFCON and not Covid. Here is the list of injuries: https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php Surely there is no way the game can be cancelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the list of injuries: https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php Surely there is no way the game can be cancelled? Yes, I have same impression as Bailey. If they’re down only a very few because of Covid, this match should be played. I assume league authorities can make the same distinctions Bailey has made in his first sentence. We could still lose, of course. Looks like we have to score 2-3 goals most matches, as our defense is so unreliable. If we ever get healthy — we’ve missed important players repeatedly, though I guess never as many at one time as Leicester right now — we might have 4-5 goal-scorers among DCL, Richarlison, Gray, Gordon, Townsend.

Popular Post Wiggytop Posted January 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Absolute piss take IMO, they are claiming Afcom and injuries, we’ve had key players out through injury since the third game of the season. Afcom isn’t a surprise they should plan for it, base your team on Afcom players and you need to be prepared to cope without them when it’s on. rtaylor91, Palfy, Elston Gunnn and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an excuse, and not even in keeping with the PL Board’s own guidelines. They explicitly refer to “existing rules and adapted COVID-19 postponement guidance, implemented in light of the new Omicron variant.” They further refer to “the status, severity[,] and potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at the club.” No reference to AFCON. So, although the Board claims that it “aims to provide as much clarity as possible,” in fact the explanation of this decision does, and is intended to do, the very opposite: it obscures the actual reason for the cancellation. https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2443484/everton-v-leicester-city-postponed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaidharper Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Not sure why anyone is angry about postponement. We have numerous players out injured. We are not on a good run of form. We have new players that could benefit from time on the training ground. Yet Everton Twitter is melting down about the game being postponed like it is the biggest problem at our club right now. Understand that Rafa is enough to make anyone crazy but some folks have realllllly lost the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Agree that postponement might be advantage as our numbers are thin at the moment so this could be good for us. At the same time crying about AFCON doesn't wash as all teams know that is a possibility. Messes up meals this week as Tuesday was to be curry night.

Shukes Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 To be honest our players could do with a run of games, not time off. We need to get match sharpness and we’ve hardly played recently. Not helping us at all. But it can’t be helped in the situation we’re in, and if they are struggling… then they need support.

I agree with this, need to get competitive minutes into the players. Brighton was a good example of what a lack of games does, the start was horrendous! Only positives I really see is it gives a few players returning more time to be 100% fit and our 2 signings a bit more time to bed in with the squad and gel. They had 9 “senior” players in their FA Cup squad, I don’t think Afcon/Injuries should be a deciding factor, especially when being postponed for the greater safety of everyone when its only I assume 1 or 2 cases of covid in their squad, it’s definitely being taken advantage of to suit teams for example Palace tried, were rejected then put out the same team as a previous game I’m pretty sure.

rtaylor91 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 The league has set a really bad precedent here. Next what we will see is fixture pile ups, more players getting injuries, more postponements, then more Managers complaining about the work load on players and be a revolving door.
