Ronaldo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Why on earth did he come out for the second half? The way we’ve managed players has been so amateurish this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. There are occasions when you might have to risk a player who isn’t 100%, but it feels like we keep getting it wrong and never really learning from the mistake(s) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 He came back from 1 muscle injury on boxing day. He gets injured with another muscle injury again less than 2-weeks from coming back. It's got to be linked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsays Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Ah, damn. Along with Bruno and Gordon I think he is our most important player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Well if nothing else I guess this forces us to pay the Phillips loan fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) A fit Joelinton is as big a miss as Bruno is for us, even against the mackems the only time they got anywhere near our box was after he had gone off injured . Longstaff and Miley both playing together in midfield just isn't good enough at this level . Edited January 12 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I'm absolutely sick of these injuries this season like. I mean, where the fuck is Barnes, Anderson, Willock etc as well. It's a joke now like. Serious questions need asking of our medical department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This is shit news. We will struggle in games with our current midfield available, just like we have been doing. So frustrating that these injuries to massively important players is so relentless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a weird break in a weird place but took the gamble on it healing with no surgery and he has clearly had set backs due to muted dates been and gone and the quote from a journo to say he was back on grass. Not sure how much toe surgery would have kept him out but he's been missing since Sept? So not sure its just been a massive fuck up medically speaking. Edit: Just checked and it was early Nov they said he was back training on grass clearly hasn't gone to plan. Edited January 12 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Certainly an element of me being pissed off. So sorry for the hyperbole. But this could really derail our season. Our midfield 3 is slow as fuck and looks really flat and imbalanced without Big Joe. Can’t rely on Willock to be fit this season and Tonali getting banned has royally fucked us. There is no athleticism there. To make matters worse, I don’t think Longstaff has been at the levels of last season and Miley is understandably a bit tactically naive. He gets caught out miles out of position a lot of the time. Gets drawn to the ball and loses position, I think. Throw in Bruno starting deep, but also needing to drive us forward on the ball and press off of it. We end up with a 30-40 yard gap between our midfield and defence. Not that we are spoilt for choice with the options we have. But I feel like it would be suicidal carrying on with the same tactics with the current midfield 3.
