Imagine those ACLs weren't ACLs until they were told to 'run if off'.
I was specifically commenting on the past year but yeah you're right, don't forget Peresic done his as well, Romero did his MCL too!
They’ve been such innocuous challenges , odobert , Madison aswell, just the way they planted their legs , not even hard challenges . When your lucks out , it’s out. Solanke and Xavi both out and neither player was even challenged .
I do.
We sold our captain.
We sacked our Chairman.
We sacked our manager.
We sold our top scorer.
All within, what, six months? No organisation loses key people like that and gets away with it. Not one. They may end up stronger long term, but there is always short term pain.
As for us? Replaced these positions terribly. That’s just going to extend the period of pain.
You may have something here - Maddison also got little protection from refs.
Glad Lange didn’t panic in January.
Time for some mob justice.
Time for some mob justice.
He plays head down and hardly ever sees the easy quick and better pass, holds onto the ball far too long.
Players like that are always likely to get bad tackles.
I don't want free kicks, I want dangerous thru balls
So I guess he's staying in the championship.
Feel massively sorry for the guy. Despite his limitations in the PL this season, it's obvious that he cared more than most and wore his heart on his sleeve.
He'll be our new "Neil McNab" in the 2nd tier?
No team in any country gets away with that kind of poor luck and poor decision making.
And if it does it heeds to do a roots and branch analysis to ensure it never happens again, enen more than if the natural consequences follow.
The injuries will make it difficult for a lot of our players to leave
Exactly this. He has struggled quite a bit but he gives his all and he appears to care.
No one is taking Xavi, Kulusevski, Odobert and Maddison which is really going to fuck us up even more. Doubt we'll see the first 3 anytime before Christmas. We have to build a squad not counting those 4 really but we wont.
Yeh him, Maddison, Kulu and Odobert won't be going anywhere now.
We will cash in on Vicario, Romero, VDV, Udogie, Spence, Porro, Bentancur, Gallagher, Bissouma, Kudus,Sarr and Richie.
There will be a surprise sale as well though now because the cunts up top are probably pissed off they can't realistically sell Xavi now. Whether that's Bergvall, Gray or Vuskovic (I hope out of that it's Gray) I dont know.
It's actually heartbreaking. Gutted for him.
I think he does care and while he hasn't hit great form yet, he wasn't helped by often his statue like teammates and being dropped after good performances. He is a talent for sure no doubt about that. I have no clue why he didn't become a mainstay in our team after his superb sub appearance against Brighton earlier under Frank. That goal he scored like Sonny, ran all that way, kept his composure. The banger against Brighton last week. He is a very good player. Gutted for him, and selfishly for us as we can't watch him or reap the benefits of his play.
Also what in hell is wrong with our medical department?! When someone goes down after inoccuous thing like that, then they are seriously writhing in proper agony (not fake like a scum player) the last thing you do is get them to see if they can run it off. It's utter madness and could have made it worse. His career could be in the balance because of their stupidity. It's so disheartening, every facet of our club seems to have plonkers in charge. They did similar with Dragusin iirc and possibly Kulu too.

Doubt we sell 11 players in one summer tbh
We played a total of 3 games in the domestic cups this season, they aren't to blame for our injuries.
