Same thing I assume with Murphy one (player electing to come back early in the hope his shoulder doesnt pop out), with this player asked if he can continue and player says of course then they realise its a mistake asking to come off. In a live game got to listen to the player the most but yes that extra 10 mins may have been the difference from 2 weeks and 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we will play the same tactics, with players that are ill-suited to the system. Resulting in us finishing bottom half. The injuries have fucked us, yes. But this seems like the cherry on the top of a shit flavoured cupcake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we obviously scored in those two mins. Be lucky if he actually ran about for more than 45 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 6 minutes ago, Aiston said: Our medical team continues to be a joke Harsh to claim they are a joke. It's a mix of blame between medical team, the players and Howe imo. Most likely scenario is that the medical team has advised that players can play, but are not recommended to, players being willing to play and Howe playing them out of desperation hoping they get through without getting injured, and its backfired spectacularly, amplified by a few freak injuries and a long term suspension. Biggest injury prevention method we had was rotating players more frequently earlier in the season before fatigue set in and increased the risk of injury. This is the main thing I'm hoping Howe has learned this season and that he changes his ways next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That's a massive blow to our hopes of climbing back up the league. He's a really important player for our midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 ffs this is a funking joke at the same time so predictable we'd keep picking up injuries while the other 10 or so injuries are still out and the way it's going, without a proper break and the same players going again 3 times over the next 7 days... expect more injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah all guesswork, but if you have to come off after 60 seconds or so of the second half, I’m more inclined to think it was bad enough where he shouldn’t have been on the pitch.

Guest Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Not ideal but how about a return to Rafa's 3-4-3 for a bit? Burn, Botman, Schar back three, Livramento and Trippier wing-backs, Longstaff and Bruno a midfield two. Just means we're not hammering poor Miley and we've still got a little bit of flexibility in there rather than none if we're playing all three. Bruno mightn't even have to start do deep since we'd have Schar capable of playing and passing the ball out and we'd still have cover at the back.

Eveready Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Initial fear was a quad tear by the way he kicked his leg out then had to readjust for the landing after being pushed. Know a few bodybuilders who’ve torn their quads by missing a step and not being prepared for the impact. But hoping he’s just strained it. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is longer than 6 weeks.

Not a bad idea, but it does seem unlikely that Howe will move off our standard system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I think we will just have to accept that we will have 10+ players out for the rest of the season. Players gets injured once again over and over, and some of them last forever while we get new injuries. Edited January 12 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
