Looks more serious now.

Looking at these photos, I doubt we will see him back much before Xmas. As for EH, why on earth was he not subbed off after scoring five? He was obviously not bothered about the double hattrick because he let that Rangers player take a 90th minute penalty.

Obviously cannot legislate for the numbers of injuries, but does Pep's insistence on small squad numbers not exacerbate the issue ?

He does like working with a small squad but at the moment we have 17 foreign players, 3 club trained players and 4 association trained players. The only players that are unlikely to be used are Ortega and Phillips. Bertinelli will likely get done bench time like Carson.

Why have we got the most injuries in the premier league. Is it down to pure bad luck or the coaching staff and training.

We have a lot of players on internationals and bad luck.

It's not so bad at the moment because I can see light at the end of the tunnel for every player.

There are clubs like Spurs who have lost quality players for the long term. I am hoping that Marmoush's injury is a matter of weeks.

I am glad Haaland scored 5. That boosts his confidence. I want him at the World Cup too.

I understand that but if injury numbers are unusually high, as they were last season, the impact upon selection options becomes far more obvious/critical.

As I said previously, it was a hypothetical question due to Pep's operating preference and squad number rules.
 
Fucking hell the season could be over before it’s started if we get bad results in the next few games

The squad planning looks a total mess

What's squad planning got to do it?

It's just bad luck that Foden, Cherki and Marmoush are all missing at the same time. We can't have 4 players in each position just in case of injuries.

Well ignoring the farcical right back situation which could undermine the whole season for a moment, our sole “backup striker” who has actually been playing on the left wing anyway cos he ain’t really a striker is now injured, so any issues with Haaland and we really are fucked on the goals front

Haaland wasn't moving great at the end of the Norway game from what I saw.

Hope Pep has a word with the coach! Absolutely no need to play a full 90 when theres a derby coming up and they're like 8 nil to the good.
