Pre- and In-Match | Liverpool v Newcastle United | PL Match Day 17 | Thursday 16th December 20:00h | Anfield

Hope so too.

But we’re going to have to deal with it at some point. I think we’re probably the most diligent in the league when it comes to this stuff, but this new variant looks very transmissible.

Personally I’m of the opinion that we’re looking at another break/closed doors situation before long.

Just posted this in the PL thread. The PL should just shut it down now. Either 90 days or “null and void” the season now.

Steady on, eh? No need to call for null and void when we’re within a ball hair of winning the cunt…

Shouldn’t be awarding the title let’s put it that way….

To make things equal and cut down the transmission of Omicron…all games cancelled over Christmas and New Year…don’t allow certain teams to use this ‘Covidcrom’ as a way to manipulate points and games to their advantage…

Virgil’s not in the team that’s doing the rounds so it may be that he’s caught it. Every team’s going to be affected no matter how careful they are. I agreed with the Brentford manager. They should cancel this weekend’s games and review after that. It’s likely this wave of infection is going to be intense but short-lived so the situation should stablise relatively quickly in the New Year, especially with everyone getting boosted. What would be disastrous for us is to end up playing multiple games in front of no fans. If that happened they might as well give City the title now.

Yes, but neither was Henderson in a recent one and he still played, didn’t he?

No need to null and void just dock city and Chelsea 12 points each and carry on. :grin:

As far as I know he has never been wrong, so let’s see if he goes 1 for 1 or 0 for 1.

Before anyone panics, it might be - as potentially one of the easier games over Christmas - Klopp was always planning to rest Virgil.

I’ve rarely been so relaxed before a game. Newcastle are currently shit and we should have few problems inflicting yet another defeat on them as part of their inevitable journey to the Championship.

I remember us losing at home to Blackpool in Shanks time when they were firmly anchored in bottom place. It happens…but not tonight :wink:

What does “suspected positive tests” even mean?

Vs Sunderland under Houillier too. That might have been at their place though. They were atrocious that season and we should have scored a dozen…

And so it begins. That’ll be all three out for the Spurs game too if that now even goes ahead.

But the house of cards is falling down and the weekend fixture list is looking screwed already. Surely going to need to put a break in now to get it under control.

the PL will want to keep a couple of games going for TV if nothing else

Yip, Jurgen warned us about these people, and I quote:

Ignore those who pretend to know. Ignore lies and misinformation. Listen to people who know best.
