Totally agree, I cannot see how anyone would expect our manager, coaches and players to perform when this tragedy is so raw in their minds. Out of respect this game should be moved to give more time to allow them to come to terms with this. Just my opinion but I am sure others will share my view.

that decision can only be made by Warnock and the players.

I feel if it was this weekend then it would and should definitely be postponed. Tuesday not so much in my eyes. Don’t think in any way I am playing this tragedy down but it will have been a week and as it is not a winnable game where I would be worried how we could be affected - and one we would lose regardless of the circumstances - I feel we need as a club to play Tuesday. Arsenal are a classy club and like us with Leicester will honour the occasion with dignity

Agree with this, and the longer we leave it the harder it could be.

The game should go ahead. As distressing as all this has been, the players need to get back out onto the pitch to keep their fitness and spirits going. I’m sure the fans going will also want to pay their respects to Emiliano on the night.

Has to be postponed.

Haven't our players training sessions been cancelled sure someone said they had? Not right to expect them to perform next Tuesday if that's true, surely?

No
If anything they should go out and honour him if it is proven to have died in this accident by then.

I have no idea how it would honour Emiliano to send out a team who are in a trance of shock and get beaten 5-0

Of course it should be postponed

How does it honour him to call the game off? Everyone seems to be tripping over themselves to show the most respect. Players have a job to do.play the game

Play the game at Arsenal otherwise the Bournemouth game will be even more emotional especially as its live on TV.

It should rest with NW and the players though

Leicester played a week after their owner was killed at their own stadium. I think that says it all. We play.

Well it's arguable that it'd show respect , but it's not for that, it's because the manager and team are in shock . Do you think people should get a few days off when they suffer a bereavement , because they usually do you know .
You can't expect them to focus when this awful event is so fresh

With the greatest of respect I don't think the players have met him. That's not to say they won't be feeling shit about the whole thing but it's not the same as a bereavement.

Leicester showed exactly what you should do in these situations and although it's difficult for everyone I expect they will all want to get out there
