Injuries.

[lancs blue]

It may seem more than it is but I'd love to know the amount of games kompany, silva and aguero have played together in the past 2 years.

I believe if we had a relatively injury free season we'd walk the Prem.

Just hope it's not long till we see Hart, Zaba, Komps, Mangala, Clichy/Kolarov, Yaya, Fernandinho, Silva, Sterling, KDB, Aguero.

The problem for me is that our performance level nosedives when 2 or more of those three plus Toure are either injured or off form. I thought we'd overcome that with the signings in the summer but it's clearly still a big issue.

Regular injuiries to key players has been a problem for 3 seasons now..

I find it amazing after the problems we had last season that we havent brought in some of the worlds best sports injury specialists to help with this problem..

We wont win anything until we sort this out as its obvious that the current medical staff are not up to the job..

Am i right in thinking that the current doc is someone Mancini brought in ?

first title winning season we barely had any injuries. Bring that guy back and pay him weekly as much a Yaya.

I didn't think he was Mancini's man initially but he might well be. I knew he'd brought in a fellow Italian and Dr Sala is Italian. But there's nothing about him on the internet, other than the fact he's our club doctor. That worries me. In the 2011/12 season we had the best injury record in the PL. Since then, our injury record is far worse and things like this can cost you points and titles.

Seem to remember reading that one of the ambitions of the group was to have the very best facilities for studying and caring for sports injuries based at the Etihad. The concept was that sports treams from around the world would send their injured athletes here for the most advanced attention. Perhaps I dreamt this, but if I didn't, it certainly seems far off, as our place is more like M*A*S*H at the moment.

I think you'll find it's Ally Beattie we are missing, now at Burnley

That's down to the manager expecting us to play the same way despite having key players injured instead of adapting.

Jovetic and Dzeko are also out injured in Italy..... just saying.

Its obvious we have a problem somewhere, it needs sorting out ASAP..

I am sure the Doc we have now only came in after Mancini got rid of the other guy..

In my opinion, I actually believe that our medical staff graduated from Hogwarts, or RB's bucket and sponge college, than an esteemed place of learning.

Over the years as each season flows by into the next, nothing has changed my mind on that.
