Pep should have rotated him more, especially with a decent backup in Danilo warming the bench on most days. Injuries are inevitable if players are made to play 90 minutes each game.
Disagree. It’s better not to assume injuries might occur. just play and get the maximum time before it happens bc an injury will come regardless.why guess

You are referring to impact injuries which are not under Pep and his medical staff's control. Pep himself has admitted the injuries to Stones and Kyle Walker have been due to being overplayed and fixture congestion. He could certainly have prevented both injuries, but Stones had no backup, so he did not have a choice but to play him. Walker's case is different though.
He has got more in him to i think, watch this space next season. I fully acknowledge he is playing at a supreme level already but i do think he has another 10% in him. He is primed right now i think to have some sort of other worldly season next year or even second half of this season.
Please take my comment as a compliment to him also, i am defo talking about fractions here you must understand so don't kill me hehe. For someone i can see as being simple the outright best (Zabba 2011-2013 if not better), i can see more coming.
I think he can improve in the attacking department a little but that has definitely been effected by Mendy’s absence.
He is 27 and entering his prime.
I attribute his latest brain farts and slips to fatigue as he has played almost every game.
Hopefully he is back soon!!

Why is this funny?
Coz when other teams do it to us all I read here are folks whining and calling them cheating ****s for wasting time.
Either we accept this is a part of the game and everyone does it, or we condemn everyone who does it.
Personally, I've never whined about time wasting. I think it's silly. So I'm within my rights to find this funny.
The question then is this.... Is there a double standard from some of our fans?
P.S Andouble...this isn't specifically about you. Just quoting the post that has the video.
Unless that is, the " they are ****s for wasting time" syndrome applies to you :)
spot on Dax, double standards indeed exist

But then you have people like mossideblue and bill who have a fancy wobble if anyone is rotated as they think we should always play our strongest side.Pep should have rotated him more, especially with a decent backup in Danilo warming the bench on most days.

Why shouldn’t you? You’re the best manager in the world and the players want to play....also you want to win trophies....at what point does guessing when injuries might occur come in to play? You don’t have time to factor that imo.

Soft muscle injuries once players go into the red zone.Why shouldn’t you? You’re the best manager in the world and the players want to play....also you want to win trophies....at what point does guessing when injuries might occur come in to play? You don’t have time to factor that imo.
46% rise in them in December from November across the league.
It’s physiology. Listen to Pep talk to the beeb after the Watford game. He’s screaming it and he does factor it in. That’s why we have a huge sports science department and they have their bloods and other things taken daily.

That’s a great post. I’m looking for feedback and I got some. Cheers.

You don't find that funny? Monty Pythonesque if you ask me.
As for complaining about time wasting, everyone does it when they have a lead late in a game, understandably so. It's when it happens from the first minute of the game that it grates.

Hardly breaking news, is it?
The fact that Walker is here and has almost unanimously won everyone's backing when so many were against the signing and had at least a mild disliking for the bloke (myself included) just goes to show how quickly opinions change.
Check out the way Zaha gets roundly condemned by many of us but we'll stand by Sterling when their legs turn to jelly as they get into the penalty area.
Double standards and blinkered perspectives are part of the tribalism of supporting a football club and I'd seriously question the level of passion within any supporter who doesn't occasionally succumb to such trivial hypocrisy.
It's a funny fucking clip.

It occasionally gets to me but rarely in football and certainly not in this example. Like I said, we all hold double standards (apart from you Daxbot).

Sorry, missed you saying as much.
All I saw was you questioning why it was funny.
haha
Love that clip. Nearly as enjoyable as Bernardo Silva and Sterling playing one-twos off Ashley Young's legs for the last few minutes of the derby.
Must admit, I was sceptical about signing Walker at the time but he's proved me completely wrong. He's been absolutely brilliant. That clip is the icing on the cake.
Did we get confirmation whether he is seriously injured or not?
Will here tonight at Peps presser.
Was still limping noticeably after the match had finished.
Lets hope it is just some tightness in the groin but I suspect he might not be available for a while.
