Same. Too bad he'll be rushed back before he's ready and will get injured again because he's turned to glass apparently.

They all have and it makes no sense to me. We rotate defenders more than any other club in world football. So yes, we play a lot of games but our defenders get plenty of rest. On top of this, until recently, our defenders rarely had to do any defending. They very rarely get injured through making challenges. Most of the time, they finish a game with no discernible injury and out of nowhere, they’re out for weeks again. Is there an issue with our training?Same.

I think they're just spoiled from having Rodri do so much work in front of them. With Rodri, they just needed to smother whoever managed to get past but now they have to actually organize themselves with no cover in front of them.They all have and it makes no sense to me.

His theory made sense. He said that because the midfield is lacking, and we are still playing right up the field, the defenders are having to constantly make sprints from the half way like 5, 6, 7 times per match.
He said when players are constantly overused that way it leads to injuries which then further compounds the defensive frailties.
Made sense to me.
Might be the first time that Murphy has talked sense, forcing this style on injury prone players like Ake and Stones makes things worse.I heard Danny Murphy talk about this.

Well he didn't commit any big mistakes but it does prove that the defensive errors don't stop with him on the pitch, the problems in this team are too big.Captain and part of a defence that has just conceded 3 goals at home, yet he manages to get zero criticism over this match, strange.
I remember him saying on Instagram maybe during our horrible November run "please doubt us". I guess he wanted some reaction like City will really show itself when people doubting the team, or doubting the players.
with the mental the state the side is evidently from the number of collapses we do from the lead, and defensive horror shows, last thing we need is more doubt...

He has been horrific! I've seen toddlers pass a ball better.

Absolutely woeful. I'm going to assume he is a million miles away from full fitness though so I'll refrain from saying anything else.

Leader but not good enough, never been same player since the first proper injury he got when he was out for a long while
What the fuck he’s doing for that first goal was beyond belief

How can a guy who lives in the gym get bullied so often? Mbappe just gave him a slight push, and he was on all fours.

High line no pace, good CB not suited to Pep and I know what we have won but now when the great players we have had have no legs or injured it is exposed
when he said few months back in the media "please doubt us" to try to turn our bad results into some revenge mentality like watch how City will react to doubters after our awful period in November.
well many are doubting you now Dias, and the reaction is scary. get fit and start paying well. stop with the "please doubt us" shit.
our whole fucking defence is a big fucking doubt.
