Its his own fault then?! I was sat opposite and cant say he was being particularly stupid in the positioning of his knee in that tackle. It was a tackle.

More important is that he seems to have a history of injuries?

I was over for the game and was sat in 242. Consequently, I was looking down the touchline when he made the tackle. The best thing I can say about it was that it wasn't a thing of beauty or elegance.

Hopefully this injury is not a serious one, but in any event if we are so reliant on this player as is being made out on this thread then we will win fuck all.

This is going to be a long season and we will pick up injuries, some serious some not, but they will happen. Any club can have exceptionally bad years where they lose alot of key players and that is reflected by a poor season compared to what was envisaged. However a normal season will see some injury set backs and the best teams will have players who come in and step upto the plate. Part of football and the best sides will find a way to over come injuries to key players.

That is very true,i just wish we would stop getting our defenders injured though
 
Praying it's not as bad as it sounds. Absolutely criminal to not sign a back-up left back this summer.
 
Is there any substance to the storyline he's out for the season? All I can see that's been confirmed is he's gone to Barcelona to see peps doctor.
 
Will be a medial ligament strain. I've had one and I was out for 8 weeks. He's younger , fitter and has access to world class medical treatment so I reckon a month?
No op required

Problem with that is that back ups are usually not as good as your first choice so probably no better than Danilo will be. Top full backs cost a lot of cash as we have found out this season.
 
We don't play with a left back! We play with a left midfielder who can cross the ball, but get back down the line of the opposition send S someone down there. Very few teams have actual right wingers, so the need for a left full back is more historical than current. This is why Pep keeps trying left midfielders in that position. If they can defend a little, but can get forward and put in a cross, then they're good enough!
