Kingman Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 2 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Training with the first team doesn't rule them out. We've picked a new bubble of U23 and U18 players that have tested negative - so if for example Barry and Kesler have trained with the first team, they could have been moved to the new U23/U18 bubble and play tonight - they'll stop mixing with the first team at Bodymoor until we're clear of infection, but they'll be available to play. I thought they have to isolate if they've been in close contact mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? Why wouldn't first contact rule them on? Based on everything else that doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I tried to say earlier, thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, in theory we could play anyone who has produced a negative test result. We've chosen not to do that in order to protect whatever is left of our first team bubble and to do that we've selected a new U23/U18 bubble. If that's the case (and I'm not sure it is, I'm going off bits here and there) then if a player produced a negative test, then where they trained last week is less important than which bubble they're in this morning.

Nope - looks like this is a load of rubbish - those that trained with the first team are, by the sound of things ruled out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone seems to think Klopp is this top bloke because he's got a big smile and has a bit of a laugh sometimes. He's as ungracious and bitter as they come. He'll see this as a revenge opportunity and he'll take it. I'm amazed it's going ahead, really am. Can't wait to hear from Dean, although he'll probably be as magnanimous as ever about it. It could backfire on him and Liverpool a bit. Yeah beating us 5-0, 7-0 is fine but higher will start looking like hitting a vulnerable team and one thing about English people is that love a good beating but more they hate the weakened being picked on and love supporting an underdog. We beat their kids through their choice, they will be beating us when we are weakened through no fault of our own and people are suffering. I expect them to beat us comfortably but I expect them to put on the brakes so not to look bad. They will wait until the league game until they go for our throats and get revenge.

I wouldn't be surprised if they put a stronger team out. i dont know if Elmo has a Twitter account but I see a lot of fans looking for revenge for his celebration vs them last season when he scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Does Louie Barry train with the first team? Please let us have a single proper talent out there who can keep the ball at our end for a while and possibly test their keeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitized43 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Genuinely would rather we'd turned round and told them we weren't playing. They'd have threatened us, fined us probably. I don't see any benefit in the club sending a bunch of kids out to take a massive beating by Liverpool. They should be looking after these lads to make sure they have good careers not feeding them to the lions. It's poor from the FA to do this and poor from the club to allow it to happen.

Yeah, That was my understanding of it. Half of the U23's were training with the first team so will be missing This will be made up of U18's and 1st/2nd year scholars that have probably been nowhere near the U23's Edited January 8, 2021 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 SKY discussed the match for about twenty minutes from 12 o'clock, well actually they talked alot about Liverpool. David James and Curtis Davies present too but guess they do what they are told for a few pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
