Morton, Milner and Keita in midfield. Weâve lost practically the spine of the team.
Crowd allowed.
A lot of spurs fans I know weâre trying to sell their tickets for this as they donât want covid before Xmas.
I find it absolutely astonishing that any PL game has been called off due to covid when it appears the PL tell you to get on with it if you can field a team.
What team in the league canât name 11 fucking players plus a few subs?
Finding it hard to give a fuck about today now, all integrity has gone if it were ever there to begin with, itâs an absolute shambles.
I think Quicksand nailed it, the PL is making sure the full slate of âpremiumâ games goes ahead this weekend, even though several teams are harder hit than prior postponements. Likely waiting for the government to step in with a ban to allow some force majeure clause to become relevant.
Is that confirmed ?
In 15 minutes.
Makes it even more obvious our African stars shouldnât be playing in the AFCON
I donât understand why some games are postponed and others are played, when teams like Liverpool also have players whoâve tested positive. Why is the Everton game off today? Presumably because of Covid. If we lose today, which is very likely now, itâs an error of judgment not requesting a postponement.
Thiago tested positive apparently and Henderson is Ill. Not sure how true.
Not officially, that will be in about 10 minutes.
Thiago Alcantara will miss this afternoonâs Premier League fixture with Tottenham Hotspur after registering a suspected positive test for COVID-19.
Jordan Henderson is also absent because of illness, but has registered a negative test for COVID-19.
AFCON during the current circumstances is madness. But the African federations are chronically terrible about giving a damn about player welfare, they get basically free labour to produce revenue for the national association.
Didnât he have it already?
He was out with Covid last season
Omicron has a significant re-infection rate. Thiago will likely be fine as a result, but would be contagious.
Hopefully they are the only 2 missing from the other night because I havenât seen the Ox named in any rumoured teams.
Fabinho is the most vulnerable with his skin & bones stature.
Perfect, Spurs are not really a battle and win the ball in midfield type team.
Need Naby to break down the 8-10 behind the ball.
