Spurs cannot deal with another postponement - all possible alternative match days are already filled up, unless we exit EL, and FA Cup, and ridiculous to have another 4 match week.
Spurs are the only side so far to have a 4 match week with an EL qualifying match plus a League Cup match in midweek sandwiched between PL matches on weekend at start of that week and another on weekend at end of week with 2 midweek matches
If they can field a team then they must fulfil the fixture, let’s hope they have it under control. If they have 14 fit players then the match against us must go ahead.
No way this season finishes on time, it will run through the summer. Players will have to take a pass on the Euros.
Send an U23 team to the Euros.
And not to mention if Liverpool get a pass or a bye into the next round from Villa then they'll have had a lovely 2 week break going into their game against Man United.
And yet still Klopp whinges....
Let's just calm down a little bit.
I think Fulham game could be after international break(Friday) and the second game Monday the original game of that gameweek, then Thursday Europa League game and so on.. Would be logical.
And just hope that Aston Villa will be smart enough to be ready in a week.
Be calm for a second

When is the international break?
But don't the International games take place normally on Tues or weds? So that would mean a good chunk of our squad would be playing potentially Wednesday/ Friday/ Monday/Thursday. That's far from ideal.
Only option is to scrap International break, let's be honest it's crazy having players travel all round the world into different bubbles considering the severity of the pandemic at the moment.
No way international break will be canceled because of WC Qualifiers.
And playing on Friday after the international break is pretty normal routine in Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1, so I wouldn't be surprised.
I think we could be heading for a 2 or 3 week football circuit breaker. The new strain is rampant in the community now. And once it gets in a club it seems to spread more easily than before. The PL should look at getting hold of a thousand or so vaccines direct from manufacturers so it won't have to worry about future outbreaks.
According to old TA , it looks like Tues 2nd or Wed 3rd March is the next guaranteed available date to re-arrange a game for us.
I agree. They can’t keep postponing the games. If they do they’ll have to extend the season or cancel it.
It's still a week away though. It depends on how many positives they have. The problem with Fulham was new positives the day before/day of the match.
With a week, you can identify who is positive and negative, isolate them and then play (as long as they have enough players who are negative).
Edit: Not saying we WILL be playing but it's not crazy to think it will go ahead.
