Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

[RomanReigns]

it will all get brushed under the carpet

we may get an extra dodgy VAR pen call thats about it

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Citeh absolutely pulled a fast one here. Very rare Everton as a club come out with these type of statements. Stinks to high heaven.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Looking at the official announcement it's fair to say we're not happy...
Surely if city, with all their academy players etc can't provide 14 match for players we have every right to request the result be awarded as a forfeit 3-0 defeat In our favour?

Take a bow cenk tosun. 35 minute hat trick.


Hes playing at an empty goodison so surprised its took 35 minutes to score into an empty net 3 times.

Never also retweeted 3 or 4 tweets from people giving out

Ex-Liverpool player in the Amazon studio saying Everton won't be carried away at being 2nd in the table and will be just happy to finish top-half this season because that's historically where they always expect to finish.

Court, court, court

Evertonians please remember this date; 28 December 2020.
It's the date the all conquering, Pep inspired, oil-rich billionaires of Citeh didn't fancy mixing it with an in-form Everton side at Goodison Park.
A bottle job of the highest order.

Of course they did.

As I kept saying earlier it's telling Man City sought the postponement.

It's sod all to do with a compromised bubble - they had covid cases since before Christmas and still played boxing day.

I think Everton are calling the league out and rightly so - it's chaotic and there's no threshold or clear protocol - consistency - on what causes game postponement for Covid.

 

[Neiler]

Don’t mind this postponement at all, we’ve about 8 players out with injury and means less of crazy schedule over Xmas

 

[Death]

Premier league currently scrambling to get on the phone to the City owners to ask them what they should do next.

Aye, it was just a teeny tiny joke

For two consecutive seasons we have a league competition where the authorities have made up the rules as they go.

How can anyone in their right mind take either year seriously?

This isn't bitterness either because LFC won the league last year; they were the best team by a mile and, if anything, they're badly unlucky that it'll go down in history with an asterisk as they would have won at a canter.

No, rather it's just common sense. We're 2nd in the league now, but if we finished 2nd it'd mean nothing to me given the stupidity of it all.

What do you suggest.
Call it all off.
Without football the last few months I can safely say I would be at my lowest point anyway.
