Devil 1,179 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Unbelievable that they are going ahead with a winter break this weekend whilst clubs have had so many games cancelled. Surely this should be every clubs chance of a catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester United are one of the teams that will be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it suits those teams no doubt about it, but clubs like Burnley who had played 7 games in 62 days need to fulfill fixtures. Surely the league can assess the squads and make a fixture in order to prevent a fixture pile up further down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley have no midweek commitments so will probably be fine putting rearranged games in midweek later in the season. I'm surprised we're not playing Norwich this weekend to help avoid the congestion. I think I remember reading that if we progress in Europe and the FA Cup, we only have 2 free midweek options later to fulfil the postponed games (Everton, Chelsea, Norwich, Burnley). So I think somewhere along the line we'll have to play 3 games in a week like Man Utd did last season. Or sacrifice Europa Conference League which I don't think we should do.
