There's apparently no game on Thursday...(Arsenal Away)

[Red rose]

I read it was the goal keepers, so yeh if so it be called off .we need two fit and Covid free.

 

[Red rose]

Imagine being this goalie 😀
LMFAO

 

[refugee]

Apparently all the 1st team goalkeepers have it including Actherburg

This game will be called off

Too early to blame Taffarel? Or should we assemble the lynch mob?

 

[Red rose]

One place Millie hasn’t played ..maybe he could be goalie 😀

 

[rubans]

Any news on Origi’s injury?
That’s brutal for Jan plans and something we weren’t really prepared for.

When we have a bare minimum squad that has not been refreshed for ages, these things tend to happen. We weren't really prepared for? We should have learned the lesson last season but we didn't.

Karius is available from the 1st Team Squad.

14 cases of Covid reporting, this include staff and players that have already tested positive

 

[Markeh]

I heard Karius is available, couldn’t even catch covid. Seriously.

Postponement request submitted

Liverpool request Carabao Cup match at Arsenal is postponed because of rise in Covid cases - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59872772

We should be ok for the 2nd leg, if we don't pick up any more cases.. However the fa cup game this weekend will likely also be postponed

 

[tombrown]

Null & void the premier league to allow the FA & League cups to complete

 

[binomial]

It’s the EFL cup ffs just get on with it or simply withdraw…no chance we can replay it with our fixture list.

Pitaluga

Neco
Gomez
Konate
Tsimikas

Morton
Milner
Beck

Gordon
Jones
Ox

It will get postponed. And its a shambles that they didnt make the semi final a one legged cup tie already.

 

[MomoWASright]

Just make it a 1 legged affair and play it in a few weeks. The £100k prize money isn’t worth any effort and I’m being kind saying it should go ahead.

 

[Hansern]

Its official that we've now asked it to be postponed according to Joyce. So many cases that we cant field a team.

 

[rubans]

Did the FA even discuss the idea of it being one legged?
I know that phones4u idiot Simon Jordan was against but surely if the 4 involved all agreed to make it one legged then why not.

 

[Stevesquash]

It must be bad if we can't field a team at least as good as we've fielded in previous rounds of this cup over th last few years..

Pitaluga is one of the 4 keepers rumoured to have tested positive..

Tafferel FTW

 

[Hansern]

The only one who didnt catch the virus is Karius. Which isnt a suprise..

 

[Bradley]

I would love Karius to be given the game as a last resort and fir him to make a string of saves and go out with a slightly happy ending.

I'm in - a 1-0 win against Arsenal, with Karius as MoTM and hopefully, him healed mentally.

I'd rather see us relegated than see that piece of cunt ever play for us...don't even want him near a reserves game.

2 legged tie for this Micky Mouse cup - what a joke. You just know all these rescheduled games will come in right in the middle of a crucial period, and derail us further.

Ali's downturn in form may be attributable to Taff perhaps. Maybe not such a good move.

Not sure we can be further derailed in the PL. Just keep our best players back for the CL.

City are 8 points ahead of us if we win our game in hand. City are on a 10 game winning streak, but that will come to an end some time, and they will have some sort of blip.

It's a long shot, but if we can go on a 8-10 game winning streak (we've done it in the past), then there is a chance we make this a title race again.

It's the hope that kills you.

 

[dmishra]

Ha, I'm not particularly hopeful. The CL is our best shot at a trophy for sure this year. Couldn't care less about the domestic cups - we don't have the squad to spare for them.

You know that Klopp will keep going in the PL though.

City usually go on a massive winning streak that comes to an end when they are about 15 points ahead and it's irrelevant
