EFL Semi final

by The Mighty Tottenham Hotspur. (U7858)

Hearing rumours that the semis for the EFL are been reduced to a single leg due to the backlog of PL games.

Despite unprecedented times with cancelled games, it seems wrong to change the rules part way through a competition. However, I’m guessing if it’s moved to a neutral ground then (bit like the FAC) then fair enough.

Thoughts on this?

Neutral ground makes sense as both sets of fans have to travel then.

Play at the Emirates and fill it for once

They will post an attendance of 59,000 even if only 10 people attend.

It should be played over 3 legs now City are out of it.

2 legs have been ok for the last 60 years, why change it now?

The trophy shouldn't be tainted by playing fewer games.

There's been backlogs before because of bad weather.

Not bothered either way.....Chelsea have a great record against us home & away.. Just hoping their injury problems continue and we get lucky and go all out for it

Because Tuchel has a big mouth and, like Klopp will influence our limp wristed FA, who hate to upset the clubs they see as 'big'
We used to see this tactic from Ferguson and Wenger, and is a ploy that is really not very new.

He who shouts the most gets what they want.

Oooh you cat. Are you saying Chelsea’s champions league is tainted due to the fewer games played?

So your win last year was tainted?

I guess every League Cup since 2001 has been tainted, following the change from 2 legged second round games to 1 leg?
And, of course, last seasons league was tainted by no fans.

A lot of Citys trophy cabinet is covered in taint it seems.
