Again, it must be asked: Why the fuck did he play a full 90 minutes?

Madness.

This thread has quickly exposed who the c****s of our support are.

The same ones jumping on the back of one of our greatest ever players are probably the same who cry whenever a player doesn't show a bit of loyalty to the club.

Classless.

Spot on. Twats, all of them.

Or you could both disagree without calling them twats or cunts yeah?

The obvious answer is that it was what was decided upon prior to the match. I'm sure there was significant consultation between VK, the club, the physios, etc. and after his month plus of full training with the squad, his behind closed doors friendlies, etc., it was determined he was ready to go the distance again. If a CB can't, they're really of no use to a club as it is truly a position you cannot make a sub in barring not having a choice. This was a stress test which he sadly failed.

Typo correction.

Gutted Vinny can't be relied on anymore. He showed his class the other night in the time he was on the pitch.

This is demonstrably not true, Firstly it was a rather unimportant EFL match for which we used reserve and youth players, secondly Pep has substituted both Ota and Stones in recent matches.

Because of the way he plays the game when he doesn't have too much time on the ball he will always be putting stress on suspect legs.

I have seen decent players in other codes and in football minimise the risk or in some cases overcome this problem by changing the way they play the game and being better aware of what the legs can and cannot cope with.

Vinny has always been lauded as an intelligent footballer but he is not so when it comes to knowing his body.

As many have said he cannot be of much value to the team on the pitch if he is likely to not last 90 minutes or a run of games in a position that requires 90 minutes.

I think some of the subs turned up late, another had a hangover. One forgot their subs.
Another had to leave early for work.
Another forgot his shin pads.

This is arguable the most professionally ran club in the country.

My bet, Vincent wanted 90 minutes in his legs and felt fine.
He had a long conversation with Pep mid way through the second half. I guess all was fine then as we gave Diaz a run out.

The medical staff will have ok'd it.

We don't even know what the issue is, certainly not the extent.

It's Guardiola. Google "falling out with medical staff at Bayern".

He was just trying to beat the traffic rush. Jeez, give him a break.
