Injuries 2024/25 | Ake & Bobb return to training

[Cobwebcat]

This competition won’t exist in a few years. It’s a complete waste of time, the poor man’s FA Cup. Sorry I know you all love it for some reason ;-)

Might also be time to move to 18 teams in the PL like most of Europe.

Hope we win 115 because we need a big transfer window next Summer.

It doesn’t help that everyone can seemingly kick lumps out of our players with total impunity.

You've hit the nail on the head.

It also doesn't help when pundits constantly bang the drum about how teams have to "Leave one in on one of them" and "Get stuck into them"...

That's their way of telling managers and players what to try to do and stop us, Yet the officials seem really happy with it too.

How about the fixture schedule.
They're fuckin players up just for entertainment.
But it won't be just us, every team will suffer

How can a club of our size and stature only have one striker?
The sale of Alverez was diabolical with no replacement.
If or when Haaland gets injured, we are totally fucked

Biggest and best squad in Europe. If we’ve several injured then them’s the breaks.

I'm at the game on Saturday and I've just polished my Puma Kings if they need me, let me know Pep.

 

[Stelea]

You can't legislate for eight injuries.

And even if we had signed two more players but had a good run of luck with injuries, we'd have people complaining that McAtee, Gundogan, whoever, weren't getting enough minutes.

Come back to me when Haaland is injured or exhausted

Exactly.

And we had £100mill+ from transfers.

How bad does it need to be before Kalvin is recalled.

If kev and rodri were fit and well, I really believe we could play the false 9 if needed quite well.
4 wingers out of 4 are now out injured, that's fuckin bad luck, another striker wouldn't make any difference in this scenario

Who were we supposed to sign that would replace Haaland at a level that would satisfy you if he was injured but would be happy to sit on the bench when he wasn’t?

It will be too late by then.

I’ll bookmark your post.

What makes you think he could be recalled?

There’s a record amount of games this season. Said striker would have got games. We’re now hoping and praying Haaland is injury free until the January transfer window at least, if not for the whole season, including international matches.

Ok, who then?

We need a Barca situation where one of the academy lads steps up. Or a couple, the academy has produced gems before.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

We need to somehow get 1 win from Bournemouth and Brighton away. 1 win and 1 defeat or draw is totally fine. By hook or by crook, just get a win in one of those games to get to the break. And completely fuck off the Sporting game. Forfeit it, I don’t care. Sack it off and just try to recover the situation in the remaining CL games.

 

[RayCTID]

We have been in a similar situation with the injury pile up and managed to work through it. A few of the youngster on show did their chances for more of an opportunity no harm.

everyone said he was totally exhausted after the last league game, and it’s october!
i’m not a sport scientist so can someone explain how they didn’t see it coming? i honestly don’t get it.

That would be a ninth injury. Again, something else that's not really possible to be legislated for.

January will see us bring in reinforcements, that's for sure. We just have to make it until then.

 

[Cobwebcat]

If we carry on winning with 8 first teamers out it will be an incredible achievement by Pep.

I know it’s not ideal but KDB might have to risk the pain. We need him, now.
