U2 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hayden is healing some of those Abeid wounds man. Abeid was the closest we had to this kind of midfielder. Would love to get Mehdi back in the fold. Had a lot of promise, wasted by the shitheads who managed us. Given a chance under Rafa... Even with as much time I have for Abeid, Hayden looks a class above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 In the England U21 squad. Looking forward to him getting back in our side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Perplexed as to why he didn't start today, and even more surprised that he didn't come on. Ah well. He'll be back in the side against Brentford I expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 hopefully its because he'll be away with the u21's and get game time whilst colback will not. otherwise flummoxed as why colback started the last 2 in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Not impossible there was a concern he was at risk of injury, pretty sure Rafa will be one of those managers who trusts those predictive data analytic programmes that work out if a player is likely to imminently get injured.

With us playing so regularly, this will be going on all the time. People just assume everyone is 100% fit and well at all times which is total bollocks.

joeyt Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hasn't he only played like 20 professional games in his whole career before us? Maybe Rafa is concerned about burnout especially as he's probably played about 10 for us already and he's got a larger schedule than our other CMs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was in the PL a break would mean not playing for at least 14 days - not 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was in the PL a break would mean not playing for at least 14 days - not 7. What are you on about? If he was in the PL he would still be in the England U21 squad so his break would be exactly the same. Our next game is the 15th, next PL games are on the 15th.

joeyt Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think what TCD means is that if Hayden gets a rest in the PL for one game then he'll have 2 weeks to prepare for the next game, whereas down here if he misses one game, it's usually a midweek game so he'd only have 7 days to prepare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to have 10 straight days or so not playing any competitive football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 How much rest does a young man need then, play on the Saturday then a week on Wednesday, is that enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Seems to me Rafa doesnt rotate a player every single game. He has a core 3-4 players and then gives the players around them 3-4 game runs before they are rotated. This will help with stability with the team and the players will be happier knowing they have a couple of games to show what they can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
