Everton game off

[Ric Flair]

Christmas without football is not acceptable. Get on with it you bunch of fannies

[foxes_rule1978]

Good for the squad, to get some players back from injury. The Christmas period was way too heavy 

[filbertway]

Won't most of our missing players be back?

 

Assume were just milking it due to Johnny and Soy being injured.

They are getting back, but won't really have time to get game fit. I think closing the training ground was a way to force the Everton issue, and get Big Dan up to speed.

The pay-off comes later on in late May when we have to play Spurs on Saturday morning and Everton on Saturday afternoon.

Aren't these decisions also being managed by health authorities? I imagine we have been advised to do so.

These cancellations are because of specific situations -- COVID outbreaks at a club. If two clubs don't have any outbreaks, no reason for them to cancel the fixture. It will just make the fixture pileup worse (not saying such a cancelation might not happen, but I'm not certain it should). If the training ground is reopened in a couple of days, and the isolation period ends for most of our players, there is little reason for us to not play Liverpool in the League Cup QF.

Make it worse? For most teams it will be one game. I’d rather lose this weekend and then have a full Christmas period of games that everyone enjoys.

Disappointed with this one more than tonight.

All games need to be delayed until the new year. 

 

At the very least played behind closed doors. 

 

 

I reckon anyone going to these games is mad atm, unless they really do hate their family. 

Absolutely not

 

If you go as far as BCD you’re setting the precedent for an inevitable lockdown. 

 

Let’s crack on

.......but if the training ground is closed?

 

Any chance Belvoir Drive is still available ?

But you’re possibly transferring the problem to Belvoir Drive? It’s not the training ground that is the issue, it’s the players with covid are! 
 

taking any player over there runs the risk of taking it. They could be a carrier, they could have it and not know or they could be developing it. Then you’ve infected the staff over there. It’s not really a viable option.

Any game that is cancelled in December may mean that we have time to get over our defensive crisis and have Justin and Fofana back when the games are replayed. Also our lesser injuries may have time to clear up too. 

I think we may be facing a short break in football fixtures anyway, hopefully only 2 or 3 weeks this time.

Yes the training grounds closed but we all know they have gone round Perez’s house

Shame we don't play Everton in their current crap state. By the time we play them they will be on a winning run under Frank Lampard.

[foxile5]

Unacceptable. 

 

I've been camping on Bootle Green since August. I've lost three members of my family, my right arm, and my last remaining shred of dignity. 

 

The Premier league needs to reimburse me. 

[Babylon]

I think the best thing to do is cancel all the games for the rest of the year and 2022, close the pubs and clubs, and lockdown until at least March. 

[Grebfromgrebland]

By the time footy resumes we could have Ricardo, Fofana, Justin, Evans and Soyunchu back.

 

What's not to like? 

 

And Vestergaard and Bertrand might get injured.

Sh1t hole anyway.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

If games are being called off left, right and centre because of cluster outbreaks at clubs training grounds what happens when 20-80k people are packed in to a (albeit outdoors) arena. I totally get everyone or majority of people at grounds are jabbed, but it's madness to be gathering such large swathes of fans together at a time when infections are doubling every 1 to 2 days, you're almost guaranteeing a few hundred if not near a thousand in any given ground will have the virus. Gotta go behind closed doors for a few weeks, unless the plan is to get the population infected as quickly as possible to get things over with.

Cancel Boxing Day too. I don’t fancy ruining my Christmas by seeing our boys get hammered by Grealish and the gang. Would leave a worse after taste than my mrs sprouts.

Vestergaard will also be fit and Perez will still be around 

[sheffield_fox]

Tbf, I'd much rather just go to the football than see the family this Christmas.
