This will be Burnley’s 5th postponed match? Their spring is going to wild as they play twice a week trying to climb up from relegation spots.

As an Arsenal fan, I agree with you on the red card, but one more factor in this is also the AFCON, which Arsenal has 4 first team players at (3 if you don't count Aubameyang).Arsenal wants the NLD postponed--COVID, injuries, and a red card.
I gotta be honest, the red card thing should not factor in. Call up some 20 year old.
Sure, I get that. But the main the driver should be the COVID numbers, with AFCON as secondary based on what COVID does. The red card should not matter in the slightest. Not to mention that Xhaka then might miss the Burnley match or something and not the NLD.As an Arsenal fan, I agree with you on the red card, but one more factor in this is also the AFCON, which Arsenal has 4 first team players at (3 if you don't count Aubameyang).
They'll have to pay the piper eventually. They already have 3 games in hand in relation to some teams.but resting would help Spurs in the following games next week against Leicester and Chelsea and also arguably decreases the chance that a key player picks up a significant injury due to overuse.
Hope they don't come down with that horrible Klopp variant after having played Liverpool.
remember last season when Klopp took a dig at City's outbreak? maybe Pep should return the dig if Liverpool wins theHope they don't come down with that horrible Klopp variant after having played Liverpool.
if Newcastle buys Josh King and Emmanuel Dennis off Watford, maybe they will lead to even more postponements! /sThe whole postponement thing is a shambles. Telegraph story today on Burnley notes that the league decided to postpone because they only have 12 first team field players available due to the combination of Covid, injuries, and the sale of Chris Wood. The PL has postponed a number of other matches where it was clear that injuries and other factors were the predominant causes of players being unavailable, not the number of Covid cases. Liverpool just got our cup match postponed last week (different body making the call and lots of other complications with false positives that we don't need to rehash of course) when it turns out they only had one Covid case. We seem to have somewhere between 11-13 first team field players available right now, most of them defenders, but with only one Covid case. I have no idea what the PL will decide, as there really is no standard.
Spurs will be a bit undermanned themselves and key players seem to be running on fumes right now so I can see why a postponement might suit them as well. Playing against an Arsenal that potentially has to field PL debutants is clearly an advantage in that particular match, but resting would help Spurs in the following games next week against Leicester and Chelsea and also arguably decreases the chance that a key player picks up a significant injury due to overuse.
Why is Schlupp not in AfCon? Surely Ghana could use him.The legend of Conor Gallagher grows! (And really nice work by Schlupp too).
I seriously don’t know. I was surprised and happy to see him on the field tonight. He may have had an injury leading up to selection, but he seems healthy today.Why is Schlupp not in AfCon? Surely Ghana could use him.
Should be denied. They only have 1 COVID positive test.Arsenal have formally requested the postponement of the NLD. PL board will meet tomorrow and decide then apparently.
Feels like the decision will be bad either way.Should be denied. They only have 1 COVID positive test.
They can't even get the ball out of their half. Whenever they try to bring the ball upfield, it seems like City have twice as many players on the pitch as they do.Chelsea look anemic going forward
Blame his Liverpool youth coaches for molding him into this.And again. He’s ridiculous to watch.
Real Madrid was the rumor for a while, also seen Juve and PSG mentioned.Have there been any substantial rumours on Ruddiger’s destination next year? He’s going to make a boat load of money wherever it is.
This is a conspiracy to have Spurs have 15 games at hand when the season ends.NLD is postponed.
lol?
