Premier League & COVID discussion | 4 positive cases now required for postponement

[Bluesince88]

We as a club seem to be coping with the latest variant better than most, perhaps our players are better disciplined.

I hope we keep on playing and stretch our lead at the top.

Not really, prior to the last week there wasn’t much to be disciplined about. I hope they are now though considering they are dropping likes flies elsewhere.

Bit harsh that GKs aren’t considered players.

Ederson can pass a ball better than 99% of outfield players.

Ederson at DM would be a treat - we'd see the sort of tackles we haven't seen since mid 80s. A fucking bloodbath!

It's upset Liverpool so it must be the correct decision.

Great post which I fully endorse.

They were probably hoping games would be postponed while their African players are at the cup of nations tournament.

Think they are moaning about 26th/28th mainly.

Seems a bit daft this new guideline.

FA Cup replays in 3rd & 4th round scrapped to help with any backlog.

Going off the impacted clubs, I’d say ourselves and Liverpool are highly vaccinated. Pep losing his mum to it might help to drill it into our squad.

Didn’t Pep say that 95% of the squad and staff are now fully vaccinated? He has always banged the science drum, which is obviously the most sensible way to go.

I have always complied with the rules but I am having friends around between Christmas and New year regardless of the change. Anyone I invite is going to be at least double-jabbed (and most already had Covid) and we will behave sensibly (open doors and widows), maintain some distance etc.. Ourselves, our friends and family also take tests before socialising. That's more than enough. Anything else is simply disproportionate.

Will we have to wear masks again against Leicester?
