CosbehFox Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 I must say the accusations of fix are something

And due to Liverpool playing in Qatar that week, their game is still up for debate, but will likely be played in early Jan. The fixture congestion is causing chaos once again.

Apparently EFL rules state 2,000 is the minimum. However, Everton will want to maximise attendance potentially and give at least 3,000 if not more. We could receive as much as 5,500. All down to the two clubs "negotiating" with each other. If we get 5,000 we will sell out I think. General sale.
TheSomersetFox Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 Would happily see us go full strength for this and rotate the side for City away

We'll travel back to Leicester on Wednesday after the Everton game, have Thursday training and most of Friday. Travel up late Friday evening?

Everton’s record against Liverpool is disgusting 😂 Did you see the two games they played against Liverpool in the PL last year? Everton were warriors, and only lost in Anfield because of the jammiest goal I've ever seen. In the Cup, where Liverpool will play 16 year olds at centreback, I think they'd have had a shot, especially at Goodison.

PaulW Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 Got to laugh at all the conspiracy theorists on here!
Nicolo Barella Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 Man I hope we smash them, there's little more annoying than entitled boomer Everton fans complaining about how they should be doing better than us because they're a bigger club than us
HighPeakFox Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 2 minutes ago, PaulW said: Got to laugh at all the conspiracy theorists on here! No no - you have to realise that no team, other than Leicester, in the history of cup draws has ever had 4 consecutive away games, and that odds of 16/1 are utterly bonkers and almost mathematically impossible.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 We have a winnable game and that’s the main thing onwards and upwards
ealingfox Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 Obviously if they fixed every round it wouldn't be sustainable as it is too obvious. Think Alan Turing and Enigma - they had to be careful after breaking the code, they had effectively fixed the war but still couldn't fix every round as it would arouse suspicion. That's how you get draws like the last round. There were plenty of lower league sides left and the odds were good enough to do it randomly. Clearly it backfired on this occasion. But that frees them up to do things like this morning. They've no doubt got an algorithm somewhere.
foxy boxing Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 We could have got a much harder team so only disappointment is it's away. it could go either way and depends on the strength of teams both sides put out. hopefully we will go all out to win it.

Hammo Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 Four away draws in a row is not a fix, it’s just unlucky. Luck has favoured us in the past, just not this time. It’s swings and roundabouts (unless of course you’re Sean Dyche, who seems to believe he is condemned to eternal misfortune) But we haven’t done badly on our travels of late, have we?...
BraunstoneFox23 Posted 31 October 2019 Posted 31 October 2019 We're good enough to beat Everton, and if we want to win the whole thing we shouldn't fear anyone. We were bound to get a tough fixture at some point, and at least it's not Man City at home

Week of Jan. 6, so after FA Cup weekend. Klopp will probably play his U18's!
