Pilko Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Definitely think I'd rather gamble on Miley being ready than starting Ritchie or the ridiculous Schar in CM notion. I can just about cope with Ritchie in a situation like Saturday, closing out the game with hard graft for 10 minutes and giving someone a breather, but I wouldn't be starting him in a PL game unless there was literally no other option.

James Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Don’t understand how we have two player out with a lower back stress fracture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) It would be easy to assume that the increased schedule this season would be the cause, high intensity games against elite sides in the toughest competition in the world is going to invite increased risk of injury right? But the thing that hurts is a few are just unlucky freak occurrences. Burn, Murphy and Anderson specifically. Isak and Botman are unfortunate because they are key players, but it’s to be expected that with that the system we play and a big increase in minutes with the CL games that we’d run into these muscle issues. And then there’s Tonali. It just adds more pressure onto those who are fit now too, they have to take on more minutes individually now and it increases the risk of losing more players. We need a decent run of luck until we get 2 or 3 players back fit. Edited November 6, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BShearer Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 we need to get some good news of players returning because all this additional injuries can crash our season if it continues at this rate. we really need to be clever and creative on the loan market in January imo as I cannot see much money available to spend given we needed to be creative already with the Hall deal. probably need to do an extensive search on the bench of other top clubs for players wanting to make Euros but not playing much. and yes we need to explore options of loan from the Saudi league, media backlash is fixed on but couldnt care less.

That would be nice, but it seems almost every injury we've suffered is months out rather than weeks Isak is the closest with what, 3 weeks or so until ready? Everyone else is next year.

Optimistic Nut Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) If we'd just had Isak available out of all those missing over the two games v Borussia we'd be 1 point better off as a bare minimum which would have been massive.
