I'm sick of goals we have conceded by the ball going between his legs or worse him deflecting the ball into the net.  It's got to be at least six goals that were similar.  Oh, and he normally has his arms tucked nicely behind his back.  That fecking helped Sven. 

I'm not holding it against Sven, but this does seem to be true for our whole back line.

 

I dunno, do we concede more than other teams between our defenders legs? I might just be noticing it because they're our players. Or is it a defensive technique issue?

It’s not a medical team failure. He had a scan 2 weeks ago at the Dutch specialist that confirmed everything looks fine.

 

My personal opinion, and it’s just guesswork, is that he is playing within himself… tentative due to worry of it happening again. He’s had some really poor performances in the last few weeks, but you don’t become a poor player overnight for no reason.

If it's not fitness, then yeah I guess we have to really help him get his head straight. He seems like a lovely guy, but I've never really got the Robocop/Der Kaiser vibes off him - he seems like quite an introvert at heart. Not the first into a punch-up.

really casual play for the second goal. arms behind is back and just flicks his head at the ball.

ffs man, have your arms in a natural position and at least he'd have been able to get a more aggressive header in.

Aye he'd have taken the net off with his header if his arms were natural.

Was screaming for him to come off before the corner. Of course it him who then proceeds to jump to head the ball away and land on it again.

 

Love the players commitment to the cause but they need to be a bit smarter and get the trainers straight on when needed.

Fucking hell. Same knee, I take it?! 
 

I know they have more data than us and a lot more expertise. They probably want a player of that age to avoid an op. But that is terrible management.
 

Could have been back and had a full pre-season. Now he’ll be back at the end of 2024 if we’re lucky and the need for a centre back has just got even greater. 
 

Seemed like when he came back it was clearly still ailing him. So a strange call all round.

Jesus fucking Christ. He’s not been right since he returned but this is the exact injury they thought would be better off “healing naturally”

 

Absolute blame on the manager and the medical team for this. They got it so wrong like countless other decisions this season.

We'd expect nothing less.

You are fucking kidding me. They missed the initial ACL injury, which meant he played with an acl injury. Had a break and let it rest because they wanted to avoid surgery. He then came back to play and now presumably it’s finally gone properly. So does that mean any summer money allocated for a winger or whatever now must be spent on a CB?
 

Well we could all see he wasn’t at his best and questioned if he was really fit. Here’s your flaming answer.

And if he had made it through the next 10 games unscathed, we'd be praising the manager and medical team, yeah?
