It may have been covered, and probably isn't surprising, but can anyone recall the last time we had a fully fit squad?

Sadly no. Bony, Fernando, Clichy, Zabaleta and Fernandinho were all injured or only just back from injury.

By the time we got to Palace Silva was out too.

It's a good post, literally can't remember when we were fully fit.
 
Its been a long time since we had all our squad available for a game

Delph was unavailable as well and of course KDB didn't start the season with us either.

I think that's right. Jesus. I give Pellegrini some stick, but not having all your players available for what will be over a year (dependent on Vinny and Nasri) must be difficult to manage, even with our squad.
 
I've just posted in the Nasri thread that we haven't fielded what many would consider our strongest team (whatever that might be) for any consecutive number of games. Other clubs have had injury woes and it would be interesting to compare, not just the number of injuries, but which players are involved and who ends up playing in the back four, the defensive mid, attacking mid, and striking department. It would be pretty nigh impossible to analyse what effect in terms of points it might have had.

I think the problem this season has been more down to poor refereeing than injuries.
 
Because it's almost impossible to get all 25 players fit - perhaps a better question would be for how many games has the first choice XI been fit in the last 2 seasons?
 
Both are fair points. I don't think we are alone in suffering from injuries, or that they are directly responsible for a number of points dropped: there are a number of reasons, but that wasn't the point.

It would be interesting to see how long it has been since Pellegrini could name a first choice 11 but it would also be interesting just to see what his first choice team would be anyway.

Hahahahaha! Fully fit squad? Hahahahaha!
Welcome bit of light relief this thread.
 
I'm sure all our European players will be back fit near the end of the season, just in time for the Euros, so i'm sure we'll have a near fit squad for the run in.
 
We currently have just Kompany and Nasri injured. We are pretty much full strength but I don't think we've once fielded our strongest team.
