Reggie is fine apparently. I would much prefer Tanganga to Doherty, in fact I would prefer a training cone.

Dele and Lo Celso still can’t get in the side

Very few goals in that team unless Kane suddenly gets his act together.

I admire your confidence.
I think it will be a tough game.

There’s too many no-shows in that team too.

Alternatively Bergwijn at RM and Dele up top with Kane.

2 goalkeepers and Lloris up top 🤔 interesting.

For tough away games I would like to see us play 5 in midfield and control the game better.

It doesn't mean one of Kane Son or Lucas might need to get sacrificed for some games

🚨 NEW: #thfc have requested for their game against Brighton to be postponed with 11 players and staff now testing positive for Covid. The Premier League will make the final decision. | @DiMarzio

Still only 8 players and maybe 3 staff. I hope the Premier league reject.

These millionaire coaches and players should earn their wages.

We still have enough players to field a team.

What if we carry on training and more players test positive? I think we need be cautious.

A geezer who I follow on Twitter who has had some decent ITK in the past has said the following :

Confirming what's out there mostly, players and staff have returned at least 16 positive cases. We've now asked for Brighton to be delayed. He may not confirm the latter, but expect Conte to tell more in his presser shortly.

Probably a few u23's have tested positive too

Weird stance to take. It's in our best interest if the game is postponed

Fair enough if there is a ridiculous outbreak but If its just 7 players then I would play the game.

How is Conte negative? I would expect him to be at the highest risk

And still the players will run to the crowd after scoring a goal.

Spurs have 13 positive tests.

I would agree that a few here and there like most clubs and you can more easily keep it under control, but now maybe a third of the players and coaching staff have it, its more difficult to contain.

Arent the rules that if yoive been in contact with anyone with the Omicrom variant you have to self isolate for 10 days.

Personally given the number involved here i think it is in everyones best interest that the game is postponed, tomorrows & Sundays and may be even next weeks until we get to a position where there are none.

In regards Thursday's game, I think current Uefa rules state matches have to be played if at least 13 of the 25 players registered for the competition are available to play.
That said, firstly we don't ( and won't ) find out who the players are that tested positive. As someone has already said, half of them could be youth players. And second, irrespective of that rule, surely in light of the new variant, common sense dictates that, to avoid a complete disaster, the next 2/3 games should be called off.
10 days of proper isolation would kill this off, and whilst rescheduling will cause issues in itself, surely that is the intelligent thing to do, not to mention the obvious disadvantage a weaken Spurs team would clearly have going into these games.

was making my first ever trip to brighton away so shame for me if its cancelled, but sounds like it needs to be. thursday night looks like it needs to be binned off. latest report is that we only have 10 senior outfield players available.

I really dont care if the Rennes game is played or not. We could risk infecting the Rennes players, if we are showing positive results daily...

It’s very unlikely that we will be playing Brighton & Leicester... So stick 2 fingers up at Eufa & play the youth players..

If we are going to be involved in a fixture backlog... then we DONT want to still be involved in this meaningless tournament, do we?!!
