Allan and Doucoure are also 1 yellow from a ban. So if it goes ahead here's hoping at least one of them picks up a card Vs Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Klopp, Mourinho and Pep set the tone in the premier league these days that you MUST now complain in the press about any disadvantage or minor inconvenience to your team, real or imaginary, so everybody knows how hard done by you are and that there is a secret agenda against your team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joy, they've both been handed pretty straightforward routes to the 6th round. Hardest possible fixture is Everton for Spurs.

They nulified Spurs pretty well on the opening day when they won there and will surely take FA cup pretty seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 11 hours ago, ender4 said: which means players come back well rested for the rest of the season. I should really post this in the title winning thread Having covid is nothing at all like being "well rested". Some of our players will absolutely have longer term effects. Even if those effects are just fatigue. There's no way our whole squad can get covid and all come back as fit and raring to go as they were beforehand. This is really bad news for us and there's no way to escape that fact. Let's just hope the effects aren't TOO bad for TOO many of our players or else we could be in some serious trouble again. Thank goodness we have already won a fair few games is all I can say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree My 12 year old has had a cough for 4 months and pre Christmas was struggling to do any form of sport in the cold weather due to coughing, Dr's convinced he has had covid (his 2 best mates did so fair chance he did) but had no initial major symptoms but long term effects have been worse and that they have started to see this in several cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a lot of people can catch covid without any symptoms at all which is why its spreading so rapidly. It could be a case of the players not even knowing if they weren't tested on a regular basis. edit: I do agree that it will impact our players though and it’s very unlikely we get anything from the next 2 games. Tbf it’s unlikely we would have get anything from city game even if fully fit. Hopefully the majority of players can be fit for Burnley. These are the games we need to win.

It was when the Government allowed families to mix at Christmas and its not just players that mix at training grounds then are we now surprised there is a mass outbreak? I think the next few weeks are going to see more games off through nobodies fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, is that from a reliable source? The whole first team squad basically. If any have longer term Covid symptoms we could be really buggered. Hopefully being fit as fiddles they will be able to brush it off. Anyone know if any Newcastle players are still out of their squad? Bruce said some were hit hard.
