Amazed how our new signings pick up serious injuries within a couple of games , Gundogan , Jesus and now Mendy , everytime one of our players goes down injured i fear the worst , Mendy and Kompany being absent for the majority of the season will seriously affect our chances of winning trophies this season , having 50% of our 1st choice back four unavailable is not a great start to the season injury wise.

We only have 17 outfielders including Kompany , Mangala , Toure and with respect Delph.

Yes only 10 start but if you want to go deep into 4 competitions then clearly its high time our academy started producing players ready for first team football on a regular basis.

We are talking about replacements in January when one of our defenders is now gone for the season and its clear we are short of quality in depth in a number of key areas that should have been addressed over the past few windows.

One of two more injuries and we are down to the bear bones again.

If we cannot rely on youth to come in and keep the results ticking over then clearly we need a larger squad to cover the inevitable injuries that will occur on an all too many occasion.

The academy and its relevance to us first team wise is under the microscope well and truly now and if it doesn't produce quality first team players you have to query its existence in the longer term.

I dont get it, is he out for 2, 6 or 9 months?

LOL...Unless they've invented a miracle rehab protocol, he's out for the season. Should be ready for pre-season.

 

[meeesh]

We don't have the back up at LB and if Aguero gets injured for 6 weeks we will be totally buggered. Let's hope our midfield can take up the slack.

Oh shit mate,you probably in bed,like I should be,but I wish you had not said this now,after seeing the latest injury news :(

Is it wrong to have a little thought in my mind about a certain rag striker getting a muscular injury taking him out for 2 or 3 months ?

Wait until Sergio gets his long overdue bad injury....

Fucks sake, I was only joking. I think this club is actually cursed

Can we recall Angelino?

It's daft if we agree season long loan deals without a clause, such as in case of emergency/injury.

He could defo do a job for us and help with rotation

Would be equally daft for the loanee club to agree.

Times like this is when a manager earns his corn.

Pep built the squad now he has to utilise it.
