Leeds game off

[El Rojo]

Pros and cons to this one for us. If we’re in better shape for the Leicester and Chelsea fixtures, it’s probably a positive, as we should win the Leeds fixture whenever it takes place.

 

Wouldn’t be too worried about Robbo being out for Chelsea once Tsimikas is available.

But it's supposed to be a special day, not your average run-of-the-mill-watching-18-hours-of-porn day.

Rewatch the 4-1 Everton game.

Every day is a special day when you've got the run of the place

Which players have the vid at Leeds and what happened to needing just a keeper and 13 players available?

[Barrington Womble]

SSN reporting Leeds have been told to shut their training ground for 48 hours on the advice of Public Health England. Why 48 hours? Sounds like they've found some loophole to exploit for office workers or something.

Well, well, well. Who'd have thought it? Have we copped the blame for this even though it is in the leeds camp?

[Strontium]

It was nice that they waited until we risked exiting the cup by resting players for this fixture before calling it off.

It was scheduled for BT or Amazon and not Sky I believe.

Ah ok. Still at least the lads can have some time with their families.

Arse biscuits.

I'm alright with this, we will beat them when the time comes. Only issue is Robbo missing Chelsea but I can't see that game happening, no way Chelsea are playing that game with the players they're missing. Covid on route from St Petersburg to Cobham as we speak, should arrive on match day.

[TheHowieLama]

This shit is getting sketchy:

 

The Premier League said Leeds could not play "due to the number of players with Covid-19, injuries and illness".

 

 

[El Rojo]

Biggest downside of all this would be Man City building up games in hand, assuming they keep winning.

Yeah it's a double edged sword.

Covid in the Leeds team

They could have used an extra player, what position does Covid play?

I'm sure Tierney was on VAR. For that reason, I'm delighted the match is off. 

[TheHowieLama]

I understand the privacy issue but at this point if teams are going to beg off matches due to Covid they should have to name those who have it. There is no such thing as postponing a match due to injuries and other illness.

[Scott_M]

Not unexpected as Leeds have half their squad out injured anyway. 

[suzy]

Hmm we weren’t allowed to cancel games when we had 4 centre backs injured were we??

Vaccination/booster take up at Leeds is high, not that means immunity of course

Good news, this.

 

There are absolutely ZERO positives to playing on both the 26th and 28th.

So Leeds were allowed to play City with all this going on but suddenly our game is cancelled i bet this game will be rearranged during AFCON its all sketchy to say the least

I remember wakening up just before Torres scored a late winner at Derby on boxing day. That must have been around 5pm. For that reason alone I'm happy, early start on boxing day has the potential for a flat performance and a flat atmosphere. The players and staff now get to have Christmas Dinner with their family, each and every one of them deserves that after all they have given.
