What's new

Chelsea v Man City (PL) Sun 3rd Jan 2021 16:30 GMT

Apparently Morecambe are in the same position as City COVID wise...

 
No excuse for it to not be played other than favoritism. After their match at Villa was postpone Newcastle played their next match with a much depleted squad.

If City have to do that so be it, plenty of time to plan ahead to be able to bring at least 16 players. They have a deep squad and the Arsenal kids did fine against us 

We would get no help nor sympathy. Do not see why they should.

Mendy

Azpi

Zouma

Silva

Chilwell

Kante

Mount

Ziyech (CHO)

Havertz

Pulisic

Werner

Looks very probable this game is not happening. Getting back Ziyech and other injured is a great thing.

 
Again forgive me but are you saying City, with their huge squad, cannot put forward the minimum needed 14 players for this game to go ahead. Come on.... that takes the piss.

With the time they have to clean up the training ground and get at least that many players for the game either play or forfeit the game.

Btw Sheff United have reported a "number of positive cases" but still put a squad together to play Burnley rather than call of their game...

Agreed. I could understand their game against Everton being called off. They didn't have time to determine which staff members were infected so that would have veen risky. But City ought to have that determined well before the weekend, and I would be surprised if they cannot put together a match day squad. That being said you know the league will go easy on them.

The premier league need a strong City as they are the only other team that could win the league apart from dippers, the premier league brand needs an exciting and competitive title race, before making sure the dippers win it in April/May

To be fair they would much rather do that for United.

And to look at it another way, if our entire 11 and management team came down with the virus we would still have to play with:

Kepa

Tomori

Christensen

Rudiger

Azpi

Gilmour

Jorginho

Alonso

Havertz

Abraham

CHO

Leaving a bench of

Willy

Emerson

Giroud

Anjorin

Plus kids.

If we can City can.

I hope it doesn’t get postponed but if it does we get to rest some players and Frank gets time to work with them at the training ground which would hopefully be a good thing.

We get the rest after. Either our FA cup game goes ahead or not. Either way we can rest so many players there.

 
I’m assuming the City game won’t be going ahead now seeing as they have crafted themselves a little winter break so that Kyle Walker can host Covid Sex Parties?

 
The match has been approved. Feel like we needed this one off, t's going to be horrible for the confidence if we drop points again.

Might be our last match for a while is the break comes in.

In addition to Walker and Gabriel J, wonder who else City cannot use.
