Deffo the training that's doing this
Yep, think you’re rightHave to think a lot of these vague withdrawals is Pep closing ranks. He did the same last September. Dont blame him
Fucking hope so.Have to think a lot of these vague withdrawals is Pep closing ranks. He did the same last September. Dont blame him
Can't believe itLewis and O'reilly allegedly injured ffs
Half the squad out.

Jesus!!!!!!They’re XXL, was thinking of putting them in the yachting section

Can you show a correlation in football between high defensive lines and injuries and provide a hypothesis that underlies any correlation should it exist?Our defenders being constantly injured is a byproduct of this ridiculously high line we play regardless of the match situation.
No, but defenders having to constantly sprint back and make last ditch tackles makes injuries more likely IMHOCan you show a correlation in football between high defensive lines and injuries and provide a hypothesis that underlies any correlation should it exist?
There’s a long standing correlation between the number of long, high intensity sprints and injuries:Can you show a correlation in football between high defensive lines and injuries and provide a hypothesis that underlies any correlation should it exist?
I like this response, way too many people posting on here these days, making statements and accusations without any effort to provide supporting context.Can you show a correlation in football between high defensive lines and injuries and provide a hypothesis that underlies any correlation should it exist?
I wasn't expecting anyone to answer my question completely because it is a significant question requiring some work. You would need heat maps to establish which teams play high lines, and then you would need to do some data analysis to find if there is a significant difference in the number of injuries between teams playing a high defensive line and in those that spring out of a low defensive block. An hypothesis might be that a high defensive line is associated with more sustained sprints and tackles that are associated with injuries. However, you might also expect those teams to be playing in a low block without the ball to have to work harder. It's not obvious which regime imposes the highest physical demands on players, or perhaps it is and I don't see it.There’s a long standing correlation between the number of long, high intensity sprints and injuries:

High-speed running and sprinting as an injury risk factor in soccer: Can well-developed physical qualities reduce the risk? - PubMed
Exposing players to large and rapid increases in HSR and SR distances increased the odds of injury. However, higher chronic training loads (≥2584 AU) and better intermittent aerobic fitness off-set lower limb injury risk associated with these running distances in elite soccer players.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
