Injuries

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Navas who has never been out for a lengthy time since he's been here is now out for a lengthy time. You couldn't make it up

What the hell are we doing in training?

 

[paulchapo]

This is probably the worst season I have known for injuries and most of them seem to be long term when we get them. How on earth has Mangala,when injured,picked up a fresh injury? With the amount of games we play surely our training should consist of set pieces and retaining fitness not full blooded practise games so we pick up more injuries.

It seems that a lot of injuries (especially hammy's) are picked up via non-contact - simply an over-stretch or unusual positioning of the leg. Players training is focused on quick explosive energy/movements which increases the initial power and speed, but with a great strain on the hamstring, especially if the muscles aren't warm.

We only need to look at the NFL to see the amount of hamstring injuries they suffer, many being caused in pre-season training without any contact from another player. Probably the same scenario, as they often move in very short quick bursts.

Down to our last 14 outfield players now according to Manuel. Bony has got serious sore bones, Jesus' hammy is a three week job, Mangala has had another setback and Ginger & Nasri are out long term. Delph's calf is supposed to be iffy and Vincent hasn't played a full match for months. Not encouraging.

Our squad is aging God knows how many players we have in their thirties and we are surprised when we get injuries. Our squad is too small. When arsenal have seven or eight injuries they easily manage it as their squad is way bigger than ours. It also doesn't help that Pellegrino refuses point blank to blood any youth unless we are 3 0 up in a facup or league cup tie. This is typical city. The richest club and only 14 fit players you couldn't make it up. When we play Chelsea in the fa cup he will not play any young players meaning that we will play the same team against Kiev and Liverpool. Our tiny and aging squad will make it very difficult for us to win any trophy this season.

Injuries will do for us this season, I'm sorry to say. We really need to get to the bottom of this nonsense.

I don't get this our squad is too small Arsenals is bigger business!!!
Don't we both have a 25 man squad?

 

[argyle]

I still say our fitness team isn't up to scratch.

We have the same size squad. Everything he said is bollocks.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Patrick Roberts just set up 3 and scored 1 in a Celtic reserve game which I can't imagine is a great standard. However with the fixtures coming thick and fast and Navas and De Bruyne out for between a few weeks and a couple of months its looking like a daft loan now.

Hear hear

Thought so!

 

[kaz7]

Pep will sort out the medical team,bring some he trusts i expect

 

[mat]

I'm getting to the point that most of outer injuries are being caused by blatant shitkicking from opposition teams not being punished by blind officials.

 

[kaz7]

David added to the list,twisted his bad ankle

 

[MeatHunterrr]

we havent got any players left at this rate

 

[goatinho]

i get this of 2 arsenal fans i know....."we should be doing better with the size of squad we have"
everyone has the same size squad!

 

[domalino]

Oh by the way lads.

We only have 12 senior players now, because Kolarov is suspended. hahaha. Couldn't make it up.

 

[bluesoup]

The medical team must be on a bonus system for the amount of players they recover. Hopefully they all get the boot in the summer! Bad form of duty this amount of muscle / unforced injuries the players suffer. Or the pysio loves certain male legs to rub - just mocking ;)
