***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool***

He can play. We haven't sold him, and he's not loaned out. He's not registered for play in the Premier league, but that's it. This isn't the premier league. De Zerbi not wanting to play him is another matter.

That’s what the reporters say but that’s a contradiction to the published rules

The injury record doing its usual draining on managers having to answer questions. Welcome Mr De Zerbi

I don't know why they bother. Just say it's a matter of commercial sensitivity, and leave the opposition manager guessing until an hour before.

Yep, I agree, my mate said it ages ago, just tell people you will not give injury updates and leave it at that

Tough game, even when we are at our best, this one typically doesn't go for us.

No Porro still, Tonali out, suspect we will manage minutes for Maddison, Kudus. Logic says Senesi, Davies, Gallagher, Bergvall get some game time.

Pressure is building, really need not to get tonked here, pressure going into week-end would be horrible. Asshats in press probably already have their story written.

Rule courtesy of @Bishop :

Player eligibility for the EFL Cup is determined by Rule 6.2, which dictates that an eligible player must be registered and qualified to participate in a simultaneous Premier League or league match


. The FA Cup similarly requires valid and continuous registration through the Football Association or the club's participating league under its specific competition rules. For further details, consult the EFL Cup Rules Handbook. [1, 2, 3]

Rule courtesy of @Bishop :

Yeh always thought that was the rule not sure why none of the journos picked it up.

 

[johnaliola]

so i just looked up the rules posted, it took 30 seconds and the eligibility excludes the roster limitations u1.1

So many press conferences, it's tiresome. And now we have commentators asking questions with players and managers going to/coming out of the tunnel during games. Give it a rest we don't need to know what they're thinking ALL OF THE TIME!

Yep, I agree, my mate said it ages ago, just tell people you will not give injury updates and leave it at that

If it were me I'd just tell them every one of my players was 50/50 and I'll make a decision on the day

The empty seats!

And the difference in the speed of the game then and now.

Retro football
And they were players that were more like the modern ones than their previous generations
Although I did once bump into Iversen in a pub at Covent Garden. He was drinking Guinness which threw me

Didn’t Waddle used to have a bottle of stout in the changing room pre-match?

Nothing would surprise me
I’ve seen old school players who could drink and create carnage (had to literally lift Kerry Dixon up when he crashed in his own pub) and I’ve seen Ledley fall down the stairs in the lounge in the old stadium tinkled on 2 pints (his wife’s words)
But they were all retired players TBF
