What’s worse is when you only have 3 reliable centre backs and you play them all… 1 injury and you’ve got major issues when competing in multiple competitions.
I mean, also, could you not just play Romero or Dragusin out of position or Udogie or a youth player or a central defensive midfielder.

I get that VdV is better than all of those but to have Dragusin replace our best centre back because we willingly put our best centre back at left back midweek when he was feeling it is stupidity.

He did his hammy this time last year covering for Romero. I'm not saying he wouldn't pull his hammy anyway, but if he does it in a league game at centre back after a midweek rest with 11 men on the pitch you can take it better.
 
if hes out for 6 weeks he could have a new manager when he comes back. high line without him is a recipe for disaster and this aussie moron doesnt know how to adapt.

Postecoglou needs ti abandon or adapt his high line obsession.

If not VDV will need to think if his body can cope with the demand, albeit that pace is his obvious asset
Wow.

Loads of people get injured during tackles too. Let's ban them!!

:mickyarm:
 
Can't help but think our high line and dependence on his pace is hindering his all-round development (injuries and all).

He's a very good young defender with a high ceiling, but his box defence, aerial presence and positioning need a fair bit of work.

How involved is Ledley with our coaching department??
 
It’s officially official that our fanbase are mutants. Players can pull their hamstrings at any time whether they’ve played too much,too little or a normal amount. And laying the blame at the manager for a player getting injured is quite funny. Was it Ange’s fault that Werner pulled his groin?

Sign quick players... But whatever you do; don't let them use their pace!!!!!!

Why didn't we hear any of this crap when we had Kyle Walker? .....Aaron Lennon?

I think most mutant fans are applying a risk assessment

Clearly exempt to non-mutants

I’m with you though, I think we should play our best 11 all the minutes until they’re broken physically and mentally …. In principle I don’t even agree with subs

It was just unlucky, he could of pulled it against Palace at the weekend or in the Carabao.

We have a little bit of depth there its not the end of the world.

I don't think we are consistent enough to make the top 4 in the league anyway and would rather be through in the cup and in a good position in Europe when he comes back if it is a month or so layoff.

It's not just about our consistency though when it comes to where we finish - it's others above and around us

Last 5 Games

November 6th, just one week earlier. incredible really , hopefully it's nowhere near as bad and we also get an appropriate LCB in the window

Yeh. Brilliant thinking.
Dragusin does not play enough and we have Davies to use as CB + Vuskovic joining next season = lets sing more, more more !!! yearight.

We might have added a fullback, but it was thought that we have Udogie-Spence on LWB and Porro-Gray as RWB.
Yesterday VDV only played because Udogie is coming back from injury and needed some rest AND Spence was injured.

So it all was just matter of unfortunate circumstances.
We could have kept Donley in the squad, but doubt he would have played ahead of others mention.

So shit happens, nothing too much in that.
