Dias out, 3-4 weeks, muscle injury!

merry christmas

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

At present our defence has been a shambles.
Eds has made a few erratic choices in play.

Gvardiol and Lewis ,both whom I like have been caught in possession out of position in midfield and are pushing forward too much.

Akanji has had a few mares too.

I m happy with dias and stones back there but I think we ought to cement a regular defence until we get back to winning ways.

We owe villa a match from last year. Fingers crossed blues.

Not sure if you noticed, mate, but that’s the whole problem, we have been unable to field a stable back 4.

Two of our best performances of the season were at Chelsea and West Ham.

Despite the injuries we have, only Dias and maybe Ederson are missing from those line ups.

Walker, Rodri, Foden, Stones and Gundogan didn’t play in any of them.

Ederson, Akanji , Gvardiol, Kovacic, Bernado, De Bruyne, Doku, Haaland, Lewis played in both

Grealish in one and Savinho in one.

Well with Dias out, Pep has got the excuse to play both Lewis and Walker again, Gundo probably in midfield again too, good luck boys.

Have we ever had such a terrible run with injuries?? What are they doing in training and conditioning?

Side effects of 4 in row

How about we play our defenders in defence rather than in the opponents half,worth a try?

We tried that a bit last week but it still didn’t work! The defenders have just completely forgotten how to defend .

 

[handsofstone]

Tbf Pep has not tried to mix it up, yea we have injuries but maybe tweak the style so we aren't so exposed...

Maybe that could do something instead of blaming injuries

What is the definition of insanity again?
