Popular Post Johnnyp Posted January 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2021 We didn't give a hoot about the mental state of those Liverpool kids when we hockeyed them. Can't have it both ways. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 If we must fulfill the game and there's not enough players to play I don't mind dusting off the old Adidas Predators and making myself look an arse. Just don't expect me to last more than 5 minutes. Although the missus might be grateful if I lasted that long! Or not as the case may be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a sporting and moral perspective, we should reciprocate that. Whaaaat??? Liverpool CHOSE to play a weakened team. All their players were available if Liverpool had wanted them to play in that game. We also chose to play a much weaker second string team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the recent development of Bodymoor, the U23's do now have their own pitches, training rooms, parking, gym and so on - but I wonder how many of the better ones will have been training in the main building this week. I think it's also worth noting that some of the younger ones from abroad might have gone home for a little while and there's a chance they won't be available. I don't think it's as simple as just saying put the U23's out. Put the academy kids out! In all seriousness will the lower level kids be getting tested regularly enough to be eligible?

Farlz Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Our U23s would get obliterated. I think we've got some very promising players but didn't they get smashed by Sunderland however many weeks ago? I don't even want to think what Liverpool might do. Forfeit the game and move on.

Big Salad Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Really doesn't matter to me tbh if game is postponed,has to be replayed,or we are forced to forfeit it. Its about the health and wellbeing of those who tested positive and their families.My thoughts go out to them and hope they recover soon.
