nick76 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I keep checking the internet. I know the game is on unless told otherwise but given how late Burnley was called off, it would be nice if the club put out a tweet or something saying “definitely on” when they have the test results from this morning so we all know otherwise we’ll be checking until 4pm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have been relying on goals from Reece James and Jorginho pens. Lukaku pre injury looks like he's phoning it in like Ronaldo. Liverpool have some decent fringe players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 hard to know what will happen due to who will be missing but i hope at the very least we don't see a performance like man City first half or vs Liverpool, we can campete with Chelsea If we do have a few out then again hopefully we get to see some of the yoof Play well, lose by the one goal, play chuk, PB, archer etc I'd take it given the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when all 3 are max strength and playing at their best the order is as is, get what you're saying though, especially so with this damn virus.

VillaFaninLondon Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 It's a farce that the game is due to go ahead. We'd have a good chance of a result if we had a fit squad but seems we're being forced to play a weakened team, disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 26, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2021 This has become a game where we might as well play the kids, rest whatever is left of the first team, take the L and hope we're in good shape later in the season. It's all a bit of a farce at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The current rulings only favour the bigger clubs with better strength in depth. I looked at the Chelsea team they put out for the midweek cup game and their bench was chock full of internationals, obviously being rested ahead of today - despite Tuchel pleading poverty with players available.

Going the opposite way for a game I’d be only leaving about now or shortly. i appreciate its PL decision, just when Villa know the answer either then let us know. Obviously we’ll be told if it’s off but people planning their day, it’s nice the early the better either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have t been since the wolves game and going today, has anything new been introduced that we need to fill in before getting to VP? You have to pre register your covid status with villa.

They could also confirm an application to postpone. Some comms would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
