Evertons fixture congestion.

I'd find it interesting if the city game was played mid-week in the last game week, so our last 2 games being city home and away. City needing 5 points to win the title from RS, us confirmed 4th spot after trouncing Wolves so nothing to play for....Good times

We could play Bernard in goal!!

Why the hell has the Sheff Wed game been moved to Sunday night?

Because a PL game was scheduled in the Saturday night slot. Not that that's a good reason for a Sunday 8pm slot.

Couldn’t we play Saturday at 3 like we did in the last round?

Seen this on twitter it's a joke how it's worked out. Going have to wrangle in City and Villa after this mess too. Our fixture list since our last game busy schedule coming up.

euro 2020 doesn’t have a venue at the moment. No way it happens as scheduled

In a New Year's interview, Čeferin said, "Vaccination has started and I think we will be able to have full stands in the summer. For now, the plan is to play in all 12 countries. Of course, there are backup options in case a country has a problem. We are ready to organise competitions in eleven, ten or nine cities... and even only in one country, if necessary. However, I am 99.9 percent sure that we will have the European Championship in all twelve cities, as planned.

Think it was 12 last round but a lot better than Sunday night. BT wanted to show it on one of their normal channels and its messed us around.

Can’t abide these TV companies me. Sunday 8pm is an absolute nonsense time to be playing football.

Why?

I dont see an issue personally, what does it matter?

Seriously? They will have had the bones of two weeks off now and then - hopefully - a not too challenging tie with sheff weds. We should be capable of 2 games a week for a period of a month or so.
We have enough players !

I like your thinking

Well from the team’s point of view, it’s a day of recovery time we’re missing out on for absolutely no reason when we play again in another 3 days time.

Behind closed doors it doesn't really matter but it would be a horrific time in normal times. I have a feeling they might keep some of these weird kick off times for good.

Ideally we'd be playing on Saturday this week after the break. Not sure 8pm Sunday should be used before midweek rounds of games.

4 hours really makes a difference?

It probably does in terms of getting a good sleep afterwards. Very hard to unwind quickly after a night game.
