They need to toughen up sometimes.
I ran 17k with crippling ITIBS this morning. Nothing is broken or damaged, it just hurts. Take some painkillers and crack the fuck on lads.

Robben was famously another who refused to play unless 100% fit.
Unless this is for a big one-off game, it's a fucking stupid mantra.
The older you get there’s always a niggle and you have to play through it but if something is going to get much worse then you have to miss games. I found muscle injuries nearly impossible to play through. You can deal with tightness but any sort of tear and you are fucked. Other types of injuries you can get through training and games with painkillers but it only gets worse until you rest and rehab.
Man, that's a non sequitur...what's that got to do with the post to which you replied...the one without 1 statistic in it?Statistics are incredibly potent as a tool. But that's what they are, a tool. Nobody would trust you simply because you wielded a hammer, but with statistics some people would let you fuck their wife if you showed them it was statistically beneficial.
There's a crisis brewing in the sciences partially because of how powerful and simple statistical analysis had become. More and information is being produced by less and less skilled scientists (just on the basis of availablity). I've worked on a few publicized medical studies, both systemic reviews and clinical, and it's been really enlightening as to how the shiny exterior and academic valour is in reality paper thin.
In essence: the groundwork is terribly imprecise and then is made to look very pretty by a team of people who often don't know or understand the core material.
There is usually one competent person leading the entire thing, but they are so bogged down by trying to get grants and have their stuff published that they aren't really involved.
Deary me, I'm ranting again. Anyway... Sorry, Ryan, but you won't make it here. I have a study on your hammies with a p value of 0.001. Pack your stuff and the security will escort you out of the premises.
The post I quoted was a reply to three graphs showing the closest player to Udogie on the market is... Sessegnon.
Which was refuted by the quoted post. I just added on with some thoughts on how statistics are poorly used, as was the case in the original post.
Edit: I'll admit it was ranty!
Gotcha...those graphs were probably ignored/blocked on my part. Crack on.
Well, in his case I would understand. With such tactics he managed to have a decorated career, despite being injury-prone.
If he played, he was almost constantly unplayable.
Wish Sess had 1% of talent Robben had.
I’d put his talent at about 1% of 2021 Groningen Robben.
Man had “a reaction” to playing football.
Sess is now physically allergic to playing football.
All seriousness that summer when he bulked up to play wing back for Conte still doesn’t sit right with me. Always wonder what that was all about and how much damage he’s done to his career forcing muscle weight on.
Let’s hope Sarr never does it.

Epic rant.
Not sure this thread was worthy. Could’ve dropped this piece in a bunch of other threads and it would have worked much better.
If you think he bulked up then,then look at him now!!
We all saw his cameo the other week. He did not have the athleticism of a professional footballer and he looked so far gone that I doubt he can recover.
It literally looked like one of us had won a contest to get into the side.

Still wouldn’t have put him on! He will never get on the pitch for us again.
Were a club way too big for him. Imo has until end of season to prove himself unless club already have had enough and will sell him by end of next week.
Out of curiosity what on earth has Sess got that Ange would like?
Ability.
The only ability he has is disability.
