Coronavirus could prevent Liverpool from winning the Premier League title

It’s foggy as shit by Elland Rd. I’d laugh if it got postponed because of the weather.

Chelsea already did.

 

Yeah and they couldn't even beat them.

 

Wait, that's not what you meant is it?

They need to cancel all games until the New Year, tell clubs to sort players into bubbles etc like they did in 2020, let the currently infected players wash through,  restart with the 3rd round of the FA Cup and tell clubs that any positive cases after that date is tough shit and they need to get onto it. 
 

Then watch as Kyle Walkers next hooker laden sex party decimates the Man City squad.

 

He's got Grealish as a team-mate now too don't forget. Another one who broke lockdown to get his end away.

[Reckoner]

I don’t think postponing it will do us any favours. A fixture pile up will increase the chances of injuries further down the line so it’s just delaying the problem/ creating a different problem.

If it's just Virgil, Fab, Curtis, Origi and Hendo who are out then I can see the argument for playing. But not if Salah is as well.

Leeds are missing 11 players?

With the running Spurs do from midfield, Fab is a big loss for this though.

Especially now Emily Atack has dumped him to go back to her married couple…

 

Actually, didn’t Foden break the rules away with England somewhere bringing a lass back to his hotel room?

Fabinho is as big a loss as Virg.

The TV firms put paid to outright calls for null and void after the last lockdown. This must be the new tactic. I wouldn’t put it past the fuckers. 

The 3 clubs at the top don't have gaps in the calendar to fit these games that doesn't undermine their title challenge. We're playing because we'd sooner play now with covid, than every 48 hours at some later point without it. Chelsea and city are the same. Most of the other clubs have clearer calendars because they can play European weeks even if they have to ask permission to do so. It's selfish all round in my opinion. I'm not saying it's wrong or right, it's just people are going to do what's right for them in their situation. The TV companies would probably be made up if they could put all the games on (for instance move one of tomorrow's 2pm to 12. )

Both are key players. We missed Van Dijks accurate cross field passing against Saudi Sportswash. Look no further back than the Wolves winner to find an example how important that ability is.

[Megadrive Man]

VVD, Fabinho and Henderson missing makes us significantly weaker defensively. 

[dockers_strike]

Absolutely no reason for FIFA to consider postponing the World Cup, no siree bob, certainly not after UEFA and the Olympics were pushed back a year. We must stick rigidly to the calendar and hope no players suffer on field episodes, mustnt we?

I think I'm more pissed off that salah will have contracted it twice. 

 

So much for reinfection is few and far between

Looks like Omicron re-infections are far more likely according to the experts.

[El Rojo]

If Hendo’s out it’s three from Thiago, Milner, Ox and Keita. I’d start with the first three.

Of the three, Fabinho is the biggest loss. He’s a specialist. 

[Mark M]

Klopp having a pop at anti vaxxers at every opportunity is literally the only thing that’s enjoyable about this latest Covid shit fest. 

[Einch]

I’m thinking that there are a few clubs who have an interest in maintaining a high rate of unvaccinated players to get their “no relegation” wet dream realised.

Yes, bizarre isnt it? They are probably the same clubs who kicked off about the Euro League and its no relegation point!

I think there should be a rule that any players bought in the January window can't play in rescheduled December fixtures.

Chelsea have tried to get there match called off today because the squad is in their words " decimated " this is the team they have put out

Only named 6 subs...2 of which are keepers.

But only one non-regular in the team.
