I’m not talking about the injury lay off periods but the bringing people back too soon, Murphy included. Players like Burn have talked about coming back too early themselves. I think Howe has to take a small amount of responsibility too but the issue sits with the medical team / physios The physios don't decide when players come back from injury. It's the player and the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of this I do love one of the replies; "did Barnes have his foot amputated?". He could be onto something. Maybe there are landmines scattered across the pitch.

Just look at spurs this season. That would be the Spurs who lost three players to injury last week - GLC, Davies and Veliz . To add to all the other ones.

Kanj Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 (edited) Didn’t know we had licensed or board certified physios and doctors on this forum with all the supposed experts on load management and recovery and the like. While all of us are just speculating and using our best guesses we should all probably just assume the club’s staff are always in better position to determine who can play or not based on the severity of their respective injuries. What we as fans can do is ask the question if there any links to the breakdowns of the same players, why players aren’t getting operations and why the rehab doesn’t seem to be working…etc. would be nice if they’d come out and answer that because the injuries have completely fucked our season over. We’ve not had a single chance to show what we’re able to do full strength. Edited January 13, 2024 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, this is quite intrinsic to Howe philosophy and elements of this are reasonably self-evident from what you see on the pitch, how the team presses, how it manages games, how it doesn't rotate players and what we even saw "backstage" in the Amazon doc. But beneath the surface Howe hasn't historically bought players who might be overworked. If a player has a niggle, he will test them at 125% of their max in preseason. If a sub comes on for 5 minutes and doesn't demonstrate exemplary fitness, they don't get another opportunity (which spectacularly backfired wth the injury crisis). At least one person at the club was aghast but the sports science team are all Howe-appointed "max out" bros and refuted medical challenge (although apparently they are finally beginning to relent with this latest Joelinton issue - as he was the latest example of a player previously flagged at being at risk getting injured, they are now re-examining the return to play protocol). But this is not the first instance of this, of course, most prominently with Jacob Murphy when no one was listened to by management and predictably lasted all of 5 minutes. It's not terminal or anything but as I have more subtly implied previously, management needs to evolve off the pitch as well as on it over the summer. Your primary (only?) strategy to compete can't just be outworking opponents across three/four competitions - it's unsustainable. Particularly with questionable quality in even the first XI - which is just a reality of FFP we need to live with, and address over time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 I get there are probably questions to be asked about the injuries and the rehab etc but why does the Murphy one keep getting mentioned as a mistake As Howe explained at the time, if Murphy was operated on immediately the recovery time was estimated at 3 months, by not operating it made no difference to the recovery time, it was still 3 months But by not operating there was a chance we could have gotten some games out of him, it's something the medical staff and Murphy were fine to try. Obviously we didn't get much out of him but if they operated immediately he still wouldn't have been playing all these games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe needs to find another string to his bow this summer, or i fear next season will be his last. Both him and his medical team have been found badly wanting this season it’s looked like amateur hour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
