Injuries - 2023/24 | Ederson cleared to return to training (p 146)

One of the most infuriating things about the injuries from the internationals is the uncertainty of it all.
Because the games were friendlies, players are told to come off if they feel the slightest twinge. A lot of the time, nobody knows if it’s something minor and every chance they will be back in action the following weekend or if it’s serious and potentially season ending. Chances are it’s something between the two extremes but the waiting for concrete information is what kills you.
John's on the plane - with his injury issues, his job for England is to play qualifiers (preferably avoiding the minnows) and tournament games. Friendlies are for fringe players - other than immediately before a tournament. John has to be wrapped in cotton wool for us all to see the best of him - like a few other exceptional players. I'm still boiling that he started the two friendlies.
 


If Jack Gaughans latest piece is to be believed we may end up fielding

Ortega
Lewis Dias Gvardiol Ake
Rodri Kovacic Foden
Bernardo Haaland Doku

Which is the worst case scenario, and I’d back that team to beat Arsenal at home.

Has summat happened to Bernardo?

City have to manage his game time, and for the bucktoothed **** to start him twice in quick succession is a disgrace. It shows that the waistcoat wanker cares more about getting a result in a friendly, than looking after the wellbeing of his players long term.

He's a ****.

Where do people get this idea that City have to carefully manage Stones’ game time come from?

He just started 6 games in a row for us. The Copenhagen game (which he played in) was the first City game he’d not started since he returned from injury.

When Stones is fit, he plays every game for us, and that seems to be the way he and the club are happy with.

Conveniently forgetting about him sitting on the bench the whole game against Chelsea and Brentford in the last few weeks. His minutes obviously are managed by the club, only a knobhead would argue otherwise.
