Sounds like some of the spurs players who've been down with COVID are back in training today/tomorrow but likely won't be fit to start (like Amartey). No idea who

So a 15minute hat trick from Kane and Son?

If Benkovic doesn’t get a go in this we may as well just terminate his contract. Best for all parties.

Yeah but if Evans/Soyuncu are injured, and not Covid related, then we can't postpone just because of injuries?

 

I don't know how many covid cases Man United had but Conte mentioned 13 players (and staff) for Spurs prior to Brighton game which they had postponed.

Then we sacrifice Soyuncu, Justin and Fofana to covid so that we can make the numbers up.

Isn't he ruled out with illness?

Yep and we'll be 2-1 up with 12 mins to go as well!

Unbelievable. One of our post-match interviews has already been leaked.

he's one that has covid

Lack of transparency by the PL is shocking. 

[Md9]

Reckon Rodgers has made it up about benkovic just doesn’t want to play him and has him tied up to a tree somewhere out the way 

[Harpenden Fox]

Well if we can manage 6 points from our next 5 games (Spurs, Everton, Man City, Liverpool, Norwich) I would be pleased enough. That will keep us somewhere around mid table with a chance to regroup before the Prem restarts in mid January (after the FA Cup tie).

 

I guess come the weekend we should start to see some of the ill players returning giving us one or two options, but we are going to be light in central defence for a while. It may be a little while until our next clean sheet!

Hope the club are docking wages of all unvaccinated players.

I'm not sure about that. During the summer, they said he was a solid player for them and they wished him no ill-will, and that it was a sensible signing.

 

I guess it depends what the sources are and who you talk to anecdotally. I mean look at the way opinion is polarised over players on this forum. He's certainly nowhere remotely near the player he was five years ago. 

 

I do agree with you though regarding pre-season (as deceptive as it can be). Nonetheless, he looked assured, commanding and stoked to be here and the season ahead. As has been speculated on here, you wonder how much covid impacted him. 

[tickler28]

Surely we can manufacture a couple more Covid cases....close down training ground and get this match and Sundays called off?

Terrible opinion. People are entitled to decide whether they have it or not, and they shouldn't be punished if they choose not to have it. 

[DezFox]

Sounds to me like our defensive issues are more injuries than covid. Think we would be very lucky to get it postponed. Just bad luck really, I often question the premier leagues consistency and and bias toward the “big 6” teams but I’m not sure this is one of them.

What? Vaccination has very little to do towards transmission, I am almost certain that they would have still been out with Covid even if they had been vaccinated. Completely flawed argument.

Who's actually out due to covid reasons then?

Unless it's contracted that they'll take the vaccine, there's no grounds to fine People for choosing to not take it

Hope your work aren’t paying you for being an idiot

[Matt_Lcfc]

Assuming Benkovic is out, I’d be tempted to have Ricardo, Castagne, Ndidi and Thomas as a back four. Very makeshift but surely that is the best that we have got currently?

I've seen people sitting in their seat in the ground be more in position than Bertrand.

 

Quite mystified how he's ended up being so bad, because he looked good in several of the pre-season matches. I didn't expect him to be on the same level as JJ / Ricardo or Castagne, but I feel like even an ageing Fuchs last season played better, when it was obvious to all that it was going to be Fuchs last season in the Premier League.

long term covid imo
