Why can’t we just defend deeper until our injury crisis is over?

We'd just be under siege most of the time because we can't even play out or clear the lines properly.

That's 13 out of 22 senior players. So closer to 60%.

Shocking when you see it like that.

Honestly has to be up there are one of the worst injury hit squads ever lol.

Well that isnt what I was doing, but you know that really.

Minimal post count from posters who have been around a while, but who only post in times of crisis or in response to a poor result, very often indicate a provocateur, or heaven forbid, a rag.

I’ve been around since 68 lol , just started posting a bit more .
In PEP we trust , he’s been let down by Taxi and some of the players we let go are staggering.Pep never game any of them much of a chance to grow into the team .

 

[JewelZee]

Can you name a manager who can get effective performances out of a squad where 70% of his players are either injured or unfit? Anyone at all

So that we're clear, I said we can't put it all on Pep, but you believe he is blameless in all of this? Hey, if you say so...

 

[Lavinda Past]

Switched TV off when Villa scored their second.

Predictable, passive, pathetic. If these players are 100% behind Pep and his system, I dread to think how poor they'd be if they ever turned against him.

It's Groundhog Day every week. 10 or 12 new players needed over the next two windows.

Not all injured at the same time though

 

[Roachy]

And if its bad surely they should be fighting to get points on the board pre any deduction, alternatively they have lost all faith in the club management including Pep.

It's a weird one. We only see what happens on the pitch and hear the odd bit of tittle tattle. This is a problem at the minute though.

I have serious doubts about some of those "unfit" players.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Change the players

Why not both?

Change the tactics for the personnel available? Blasphemy!

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Back in the treble season there were occasions when we could get over 20 shots on goal. Now we sit around 10.



We just look predictable now to the point where everyone else has adapted. Not convinced simply bringing Rodri back in fixes things either.
