Villa's have had a covid outbreak, we play them on Wednesday, is that going to be another match postponed?
When are we supposed to play the rescheduled matches if it is off?
Villa game off?

Turns out the villa game tonight is on with the youth team playing but the one against us will be postponed. What a load of nonsense. All this does is devalue the meaning of the cup. If they have 14 players for tonight, they have 14 players for Wednesday. What a joke!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no way our game should be cancelled. We will end up playing 4 games a week towards the end of the season at this rate. Villa and Fulham have no europe of cup finals to play in. The Prem must make Villa play on Wednesday.

Different rules in PL to cup games. Cup games needs to completed there and then while league games can be rescheduled. Villa still have 2 PL games to make up so to add this cup game before round 4 was not possible.

Oh and surprise, surprise, yet more favorable decisions being made by the authorities that clearly favour Liverpool.
Does anyone think Spurs have a remote chance of playing Villa's U23's in a PL game next week. Even if the same principles provide Liverpool with effectively a bye to the next round.
It wonn't happem because their PL rivals with a lot more influence than us with the FA would be up in arms.
The better option would be to call the game off now, and use the time saved to re arrange the Fulham game for Wednesday night. But, of course, that would require the FA to actually possess common sense and organisation.

Mate, as someone who was born near to Orient's ground and see them as my local team, I for one did not agree with the bye, and was sorry that Orient missed out on the revenue, they dearly needed. Jose clearly had the same opinion at the time..
The main fact here is that, yet again, the FA are making inconsistent decisions, that always seem to favour the same clubs. Why should Villa have to play a game where they are clearly disadvantaged.
Do you, as a Liverpool fan seriously think Klopp would put up with it if it was your U23's that were forced to play Viklla's first team ?? like hell he would.
And you, mate would not be making silly comments on here as you would be too busy screaming at the injustice of it all, like Liverpool fans do with everything.
As I said, my main point is that they could easily balance out an unfair decision, by at least allowing a previously postponed game to be played, and at the same time not forcing Villa to try and get a team up twice in a few days.

Last season it was the other way round and Villa effectively got a bye against us

Watxhing the Villa game at the moment, we should play the first team.
