Horrific injuries this season not helped by players getting injured in first half of games as well never seen anything like it and now Ake again terrible terrible luck this season on that front..

Interesting from Lescott midweek to a question about it not being as stressful for the players not being in the title race. He said he spoke with someone in the club, and the players just aren’t use to being where we are this season. He said injuries and tiredness seems much worse when we are not winning. Goes down to mentality like a lot have said.

Of course. Ake off again.

We play once a week now. No need to rest anyone

I actually didn't mind the line-up.
We have opportunities to actually get some rest into players we've slogged for 4 seasons, maybe clear up some of the repeated niggles.
Then bloody Ake did himself again, and obviously the performance has been way off.

If you’re getting injured as frequently as Ake, then it’s not bad luck.

Something more significant wrong if you’re unable to string more than 2 or 3 games together without getting injured.

He should be nowhere near a football pitch. We can all see it. I have no idea how he is being declared fit to play.

 

[I'm Blue]

Right stop fucking about and put this game to bed.
COME ON CITY!!!

 

[Barcon]

Still on track to reach my predicted score.

I like Ake very consistent player when he plays but another who could be moved on ..

 

[paulchapo]

Ake off.

 

[TFC]

Ake off in a shocking turn of events :(

Ake and Stones need selling this summer.

Hard to believe there's a market for injury prone 30 something year olds.

 

[Don Karleone]

Another game, another injury

 

[super_city_si]

File Ake under John Stones

 

[I remember the kool kats]

oh, oh, Akes cracked his hairstyle again!

 

[jrb]

Such is football

Yeah.
Ask Slot.
Quadruple, Treble, and the Double gone.
Don't disrespect the opposition and the FA Cup

 

[cookster]

That's Ake out for weeks..

 

[GazM]

Anyone seen Philip Foden?

not since last season

 

[heslops barnet]

It makes it more fun mate. The amount off flapping is hilarious.

self-deprecation

 

[super_city_si]

Miles offside that

 

[RayCTID]

We are doing well even with them taking a shock lead. Just got to wear them down.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Ake is even more fragile than Stones.
