Will injuries cost us?

[jimmygrimblesboots]

What baffles me is why are we always getting the same two injuries over and over ie: Hamstrings and calf, is the warm up a problem or not being done properly ?

The club should be looking for a specialist in muscle injuries , ive no doubt our medical team are competent , but surely there is some one in the sports injury world who specialises in hammys and calfs , groins etc. , it could be worth 12-15 points a season

I would imagine we already do and use them. I can't believe a club involved in a multi million pound industry would not have already looked at this.

It's just one of those things. Most of the injuries happen away from our training ground while players are away on international duty.

in all honesty pellegrini as spent enough money to be making a good enough squad to cope with injuries but some of the so called back up players simply aren't good enough,for instance Mangala coming in for vinny is huge difference and bony coming in for Sergio well most fans would rather see one of our academy come in to replace him than bony

It was a strong side but its not a weak excuse when you compare one clubs list with ours. We have had injuries to our best striker, our best midfielder, our best defender now our best goalie and the latter apart (as we don't know timescales) they have all been lengthy absences ie not just a game or two. I hope to god Hart ain't gonna be out ages, Cabbalero is a clown

Those players have been injury prone for a while, apart from Joe. Pellegrini and Tixxi have spent millions on backup players and failed.

Yes.

So you think our results have suffered when, say, Aguero hasn't started?

When did I say that? I said it wasn't an excuse to blame poor results on injuries, as we have a great squad and should cope better.

You may have noticed a certain Leo Messi has been missing for a while, Barca seem to have coped OK without him.

Fair enough. I thought you were implying something else.

 

[avoidconfusion]

Either injuries or Peller's ineptitude

We tend to struggle against the 'top' teams when we are missing our 'top' players. I think with Silva and Aguero in the team, we'd have beaten Utd, wouldn't have lost against Spurs and pissed all over Villa.
