Injuries.

I see the medical staff getting lots of grief but what if Pellers is wanting to train in a certain way and then play a certain way which just means we get more injuries. Perhaps the medical staff are just doing the best they can in a shit situation.
 
i don't recall a massive amount of injuries last season - united and arsenal had it much, much worse. the situation right now is bad, but to criticise the manager is reactionary. also why are people criticising the medical staff? they treat injuries, they don't prevent them.

Off the top of my head, Kompany was in and out the side, all our strikers were injured at one point, Nasri was out for a significant length of time. And the medical/fitness staff are supposed to work with the coaching team to try to ensure injuries are prevented as far as possible by ensuring they're not over-training, are warming up and down properly and that they get adequate recovery time from any injuries.

A good doctor puts his duty to the players ahead of that to the manager and will often piss the manager off by standing up to them when they train in the wrong way or try to rush players back. That's what happened between Mancini & Dr Batty and probably what happened between Mourinho & Dr Carneiro.
 
And any decent physio will tell you that, with the resources we have, soft tissue injuries are generally avoidable. Certainly in warm-ups. It's getting beyond a joke and needs sorting out.

If you Google Dr Max Sala, the current doctor, there's nothing about him (apart from the fact that he's our team doctor). Nothing about his background or experience. That tells me something to be honest.
It is a worry. The players should be told everything to the nth degree to the point where they're sick of being told about how to live their everyday life, not just how to train.

It is important (and i'd like to know what, if anything, they are told) that they are told how lie in bed, how to sit when you drive, how to lie in the bath, how to sit when watching tele, how to walk, what footwear to wear (all this away from training), do they sit down too much (legs bent at 90degress too much has hamstrings in a flexed position too often), when you're sat on the toilet or a chair eating do you have flat feet or just toes on the floor (being on your toes when sat down puts the calf muscles in a state of flexion too often)...individuals should have specific warm-up and cool-down procedures if they suffer from certain injuries...do they?...what are our masseurs like?, what is our cryo and hydrotherapy like?...
 
injuries happen, that's a fact of football, stop whining and get on with it.

we've spent plenty of money on our squad to cover injuries, we do have a brilliant squad, when things have eased a bit we will be absolutely fine.
take a look at the squad,take a look at the "first team"

zabba-sagna
kola-clichey
komany-demi
mangala-otamendi
Sergio - bony - wonder boy
kdb ,sterling ,
silva ,nasri
navas
toure,fern,ferna,delph,
cant be arsed going through the rest :) but you get my drift,a lot of our "second team" would be first choice in most of the prem teams. we are struggling a little but when things start to bite on other squads we will show our strength in depth.

Ultimately though, the manager got their own way in those situations as both Batty and Carneiro weren't at the club for long after they started disagreeing with the manager.
