Why did the EFL postpone Arsenal - Liverpool but not City - Swindon?

Is it because City just don't care about a 3rd rounder?

It's because the EFL says that for the FA Cup 3rd round as long as you have 14 players, not senior players, 14 registered bodies capable of playing, you must fulfill the fixture.

While that *is* their policy, the Football League don't administrate the FA Cup. I'm assuming the FA are using similar rules because of all the smaller squads in the lower league teams in the third round, though.

I think it's going to be interesting how some PL clubs will react to EFL clubs turning up who haven't even done a LFT test on the day. I think they might just say well you're not coming in then

"It was very clear. I want to ask a question to every fan or former player. What would Peter Reid say to a player who doesn’t want to be there? It is simple. I had a couple of conversations with him, he told me what he thought. So what do you expect a manager to do when a player is thinking about leaving?”

“We are professionals,” Benítez said. “We are paid big money to do our job and if someone is happy or not happy it is up to you to perform in your job. They pay you big money to perform. You have to perform, you have to be available, you have to put your interests behind the interests of the club. Maybe the stats and priorities have changed and people think themselves ahead of other things."

Time to sign some more players imo

At this point, I have to believe that Benitez knows he can make a decent paycheck being the fall guy for any owner who needs to cut back after previously raising expectations with unsuccessful and unsustainable spending. Everything I have read about Everton indicates that the sugar daddy financial well has been run dry and they are strictly working on a sell-to-buy basis now.

I don't know if I could live with the kind of hate Everton fans seem to be pouring on him (at least online), but I figure a decent paycheck helps.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Judging by how Arsenal got dumped out by Forest Liverpool should have just sent out fans to play the EFL game tbh
