Let both teams field the U-18s.

Derby are being forced to play there under 23s and under 18's surely same rule for Villa ?

Could covid be in the u23s and u18s squad as well?

Fitz* · 07-01-2021 03:56PM

If Villa u23 & u18s train separately, then let them play. Last thing I want is a postponed fixture to have to fit in.

Villa were happy enough to have to play Liverpool u18s last year in the cup as Liverpool first team had 2 games in 2 days on 2 different continents.

I think Derby are playing their youth team in their cup game.

ye that true but you'd imagine they don't train together that was the case at Derby

I know several of my sons mates who are U18s and 23s at Derby are not allowed to train on site, they are doing online training and fitness etc. Surprised if they are in any state to play.

citytillidie · 07-01-2021 04:01PM

Play the youth team or it should be a walk over :pac:

Fitz* · 07-01-2021 04:09PM

Villa already have 2 postponed games to play as it is. There are not many other slots to play this game because FA Cup rd 4 is so soon, and Liverpool play in Europe so most midweeks are taken up.

CL isn't back until middle of February.

I forgot about last season's Carling cup ,
Pay back for Villa so play your kids like we did

Did he not say that a few weeks ago?

Yeah, Klopp said that a bit over a month ago;

https://www.football365.com/news/klopp-lets-slip-alexander-arnold-test-covid

“We had a short pre-season and then all of a sudden, Trent is out with Covid, and he has to play early and he was not in the best shape in that moment. That can happen to all players.”

There had been some discussion on here if that had been part of his drop in form, but I suppose its hard to pin his present form on it so many months later, when he's also been out for an injury in the interim.

Still, Covid can really hit your concentration. I found that to be a fairly prominent problem for around 6 weeks after infection, but I believe it can be a longer term problem for some people.

Only free mid weeks would be next week so if they can't play tomorrow is there a chance to play midweek? Other free mid week is in feb which is after the 4th round is scheduled to be played

Villa are playing Spurs on Wednesday next week. If the outbreak is bad then that could be a doubt as well.

Fitz* · 07-01-2021 04:25PM

Man City played the system a couple weeks back and got a few days rest after their training ground got closed for 1 day. It done them the world of good as the looked so much fresher against Chelsea.

I'm not saying that Villa are doing the same, but the thought is in this big cynical head of mine!

RugbyLover123 · 07-01-2021 04:26PM

Are we thinking it’ll be a fairly strong line up tomorrow since we don’t play again until the following Sunday?

Kelleher
Williams Phillips Fab Robbo
Milner Hendo Jones
Ox Mini Shaq

Something like that maybe? I think he may even see Thiago start to get him up to speed.

facehugger99 · 07-01-2021 04:35PM

As long as they can field 14 players, including youth team players, then fixture has to go ahead AFAIK.

Can't see Hendo,Fab or Robbo starting but the rest of that team should be starting

Cue Dean Smith calling all the youth players up to Bodymoor to lick all the door handles then.

As others have said, they had no problem taking on our infant XI, let’s see what their reaction is this time now the tables have turned.

Obviously I hope all players and staff affected recover fully and don’t have any long lasting effects, should go without saying.

Fitz* · 07-01-2021 04:42PM

I'd guess that Liverpool want to play the game, even if it will be a lot of reserve players playing.

cj maxx · 07-01-2021 04:47PM

God I'm out of the loop or incredibly forgetful. I didn't know Trent and Mo had covid19!

Yeah i cant remember Trent getting it but SALAH!!!:eek:

Will never get that video of his attempted dancing out of my head!!
Stick to the footbal Mo.

Girly Gal · 07-01-2021 04:59PM

Whatever team Aston Villa do field if the game goes ahead, Philips and Williams should start at CB, last thing we need is Fabinho getting an injury, let's face it, he's unlikely to get a break between now and the end of the season if he stays fit.

Trent, Mo ,Mane ,Thiago ,Tisimakas defo had it

Did Naby & Shaq also have it at one point ?

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 07-01-2021 05:04PM

Outbreak at Villa, game in doubt.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55575321

So who said theer was no winter break ?!

Agent Coulson · 07-01-2021 05:09PM

If Villa want the TV money they will put out a youth team if they forfeit the game they won't get that.

Osmosis Jones · 07-01-2021 05:15PM

Obviously very different circumstances but it is some coincidence that it's the exact same opponents we were told to play the kids or forfeit against last season, which lead to all of this absolute nonsense:

Enzokk · 07-01-2021 05:52PM

There is no space to play Villa if they cannot play tomorrow. They have a game midweek and in all the slots until the 4th round, our calendar is packed so play any team that is fit or forfeit. I am absolutely gutted it has happened to Villa.;)

ebbsy · 07-01-2021 05:54PM

That match will not happen tomorrow.

And why they insist on the FA Cup going ahead is beyond me.
