I am predicting the aggregate sum total of the squad numbers (including bench) will exceed 1,000.

Could be a good idea for a sweepstake / prediction game if anyone's still sober enough to do the maths come announcement time (no cheating Brendan, you can't join in sorry).

It'll be more like a Chinese takeaway menu than a teamsheet on the tannoy tomorrow, "number 74 coming on for number 53, number 64 replacing egg fried rice and number 99 come off please, you're not doing anything. We don't have a number 99? Number 66 are you okay out there?"

No way will we risk all those. Can only see 3/4 of those max playing. 

With the form Maddison is in, you'd keep him well away. Same with Youri and a returning Barnes and Timmy

This is Brendan though, he’d have Vardy playing on one leg if he could

Is it Covid related? I thought we had to have a lot of cases to get matches off.

Effectively we won’t fit the criteria of 13 outfield players regardless of why.

Just seen on the Internet there is a guy called Roy Essandoh who is available for short term loan deal.... may be worth it?

Will Alves has been training with the lads, Wayne Rooney moment incoming. 

On the bench tomorrow 👍

Mad isn't it that we've got a situation where we'd love to have Big Wes still knocking about.

Can see where you are coming from, but we have two chances of a trophy this year, this is one of them, we are the holders, and as such will be up for it. I think we will go as strong as we can, particularly as we will have Thomas and Soumare back for Everton,then Daka and Soyuncu for Burnley….things are getting better…..

Nah we need to play our under 23's....completed FA Cup now so with our injury crisis as it is we need to preserve players for more important prem matches.

You watch Rodgers play every available established player, even some currently carrying injuries and pick up further or worse injuries.

If he thinks the next two league games are likely to be canned then he might …..

Aren't we 1 positive covid test away from another postponement?

We won't be competing for the European places in the league this season now, so what's the point?

FA Cup is the only thing we've got to play for!!

O yes, and the European conference thingy.. whatever the fvck it is!😂

What info is there that Thomas and Sourmare are back for Everton, any source?

We're going to make ourselves very unpopular and not just with other clubs but our players too. If he even dares shoehorn Castagne in tomorrow who hasn't trained all week then he's an arsehole.

At what point will that no longer wash with us though. There's going to be a point where we won't have enough opportunities left to play these games and we're not guaranteed that we'll have 13 players available for the season anyway 😂

 

I hope we get thrown out the league and Brendan banned for 10 years.

Reckon Braybrooke starts and Alves on the bench

Only one of them wouldn't come off his line at corners.
