mormont Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I literally can't imagine a worse time to trial 'safe' standing than during a pandemic. I'm not against it in principle or anything, but surely this is not the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Depends. You can restrict entrance to recovered and vaccinated folks. Thus creating another incentive to get vaccinated. Or do you still entertain the idea, that we can still eradicate corona completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I thought the new standing areas didn't increase capacity, just allowed people to stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yes, but (and as someone who polices crowds I would hope you know this ;)) standing folks move around more than sitting ones do: they'll tend to crowd up even if there's space, to get a better view, because they get carried away, for lots of reasons. Seated fans will inherently maintain some sort of spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even get me started the likelihood of significant as everyone crams like sardines into the exits, then onto rammed buses, tubes and trains away from the ground. Though obviously that doesn't mean we shouldn't consider other risk factors also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Either you are arriving from a red-list country, or you are not. They can't seriously propose, if you arrive from a red-list country, you have to quarantine yourself, unless you are a football milionaire, then the rules don't apply to you.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Wow, things are looking good at an away game. 3-0 up after 60 mins. I like how the season is going thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Shades of Lampard's Chelsea at this game. Poor touches, bad passes. I always wonder why teams manage to keep losing the ball and stay defensively, and then when they get scored on, somehow they manage to actually play football. But the better team won, City could have had a few more if not for Mendy and Silva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Just checked the EPL scores. Good day for City and Liverpool thus far. Arguably the latter would've prefered a draw between Chelsea and City, but they should be fine with the City, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Surprisingly poor from Chelsea. They were way too negative in the first 60 minutes and were completely dominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were way to negative in the first 60 minutes and were completely dominated. It was rather shocking to see. Other than a few counters they literally didn't try to possess the ball until they were down a goal. The lack of aggression seems out of sync with how they've been playing the last few weeks.

Iskaral Pust Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Both Thiago and Keita are injured, on top of Elliott’s long term injury. And Milner was ill with a virus midweek, so unclear if he’ll be fit to play. Probably Jones or Milner in MF then today, considering Ox has looked terrible so far, even against the Norwich B-team in the LC. Keita should be back soon, but Thiago may be out until after the international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Henderson injured again, or why not play him and Jones? Would at least be my guess for Liverpools midfield Fabinho-Henderson-Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
