Injury Updates

[RandomJ]

There's no need for him to be playing so much football so soon after coming back from injury. We have Delap who is scoring goals at youth level and looks a talent. Why not put some faith in him while we slowly bring Aguero back to match sharpness? But no lets just start him in two games back to back in three days and get him injured again.

not signing a striker last window is looking more foolish by the day

I assume we have a very expensively assembled sports science team. I’m an idiot and even I know you don’t play a guy 3 times in a week that’s been out for 4+ months.

Maybe we didn’t have money after fixing the defensive issue? I mean we are in a pandemic...

I think we all know that there's money to spend. It's not as if we're skint and after selling Sane and others we didn't have a big net spend.

Going into this year with injury prone Aguero and with Jesus was a poor decision in my opinion.

Some people might not want o hear this. But Aguero might be done. jesus is probably our first choice now. And getting him competition should be a priority.

The management at our club clearly don’t want to hear that. Mismanagement of the highest order not getting someone in last year to push and support Sergio.

Even little Burnley have 4 strikers, why we only have 2 is criminal

Gabby is just as injury prone , we need to buy another in the summer

Is it perhaps because we only play 1 striker while Burnley play 2, just a wild guess.

Feel sorry for Sergio. Can't quite catch a break this season. Hamstrings as we know take a while so hopefully Jesus can make a return soon. We seem very fragile with injuries at the moment. Anyone else a little nervous seeing Kev coming back today ?

The reality is that Aguero is spent. He is not even 50% the player of just 2 years ago. Time and ageing can catch up suddenly and frankly, other than holding the ball up, he offers very little now. Given a chance he will still finish better than Sterling but he has neither the speed nor mobility to find those chances.

There is nothing worse or more frustrating than to watch an icon wither on the vine, but this is the reality of what has happened here. Coupled with the demise of Fernandinho, we really are witnessing the final knockings of a once great team. It was a truly unique decade, but if we are being realistic we must also concede that we are now entering a phase of relative mediocrity, and that any future winning team will require time to evolve and without the correct quality, leadership and management it may never arrive.
