Match Thread Everton v Newcastle United - Postponed

[blulouie]

So Newcastle finding it hard to "put a team out " ( look at the Leicesters team tonight ) yet have 8 subs and 2 of them are keepers.
I'm sure we've had a game like that.

Couldn't agree more, mate.

On a side point, I wonder what the point of u-23 squads are if those players can't be used to plug gaps in the lineup or fill out benches. When you consider the resources available to premier league sides in comparison to sides lower down the pyramid it all starts to stink.

As for the U23’s it does make it look a mockery, it’s like they’re making it up as they go along! Stinks a bit to be honest!

I’d quaff Champagne all day celebrating that scenario ?

There ain't an emoji available to convey how much I like this post.

I remember robbos Middlesbrough getting docked 3 points for having a team ravaged with illness.
The Arab petrol money must be already flowing into the premiership bank accounts.

FFS Just when we were on a really good run x

Just bizarre now that teams are calling games off but playing them only a few days before.

Personally I think they should all be played. Otherwise as others have said, it's an unfair advantage that teams are having playing these weakened teams but others aren't getting the same chance.

If games keep getting postponed the season will be dangerously close to not being able to be finished without risking the health of the players, the Premier League have put themselves in a bad situation that could potentially lead to the season being scrapped if it continues. Omicron is probably going to sweep through the leagues going into the new year, we'll then see even more games postponed that have to be fit somewhere in the schedule.

The game isn't until Thursday?

Ah. Thinking it was tomorrow (and also carrying a mindless grudgelol)

 

[Azza]

We'll still some how lose.

U23's will get their chance when the FA decide to make us play those 3 games in the space of a week
