EPL Injury Table - Premier Injuries

Looks like a longer wait for Richy, Mickey, Dom and Romero.
But hey, we might have Oderbert, Werner & Johnson back.

14 league games left.
If we win them all, we'll finish 3 points better than last season!!
Plus we're still in the EL!!

Kind Regards,
Happy Clapper

Strange case about VDV, he was supposedly ready to come back, felt a bit unready and now out again and no signs of returning.

he is a bastard isn't he.

fans mustn't lose site of that, hire a yes man manager who wont cause him grief, reduce the wage bill massively, bring in a ton of kids on lower salaries then it would be for established players to move the club forward.

odobert, bergvall, yang min, dragusin, Kinksy, VDV. Gray, Johnson and Tel .
9 players brought in outside of solanke, Vic and maddison, the oldest of them is still just 23

Yes. I like the building up of quality youth but the squad is still too far short of experienced quality.

When you put it like that, it's a pretty crazy coincidence that this "first group" of players all had the same return time and an even crazier coincidence that it just happened to be the week after our most important 2 fixtures of the season.

Then you wonder about VDV being fine to help us past Elfsborg playing at 50% speed for 45mins and then mysteriously missed the same huge week.

Incredible coincidences all round.

45 minutes in a dead rubber ropey league game from the start - yet more evidence of absolute negligence towards players fitness.

If I spent £40m on VDV, £60m on Richarlison, £50m on Romero, £65m on Solanke etc and some bellend kept breaking them, I'd be fucking livid.
 
We can improve when all our players are fit ( if they stay fit) and wi the Europa. However for me that is not enough to keep Ange for next season. Let’s be honest our play with all fit is poor, same system all the time. Our fullbacks are so advanced and inverted they don’t offer enough support to our centrebacks and not enough support to our wide forwards. On Sunday we say 5 Spurs players virtually surrounding 1 Villa player with no protection against the Villa players out wide. That’s a coaching problem . That will continue under Ange and his staff.

Fit players or not, we won’t win the EL playing as bad as we we have been

Maybe the returning players help our performance levels improve but it’s not a guarantee. We had one of our best patches of form last season when a bunch of players were missing.
 
Can’t wait to have Udogie, Odobert, Maddison and Johnson back Sunday just to see Porro at right back still, a knackered Deki at right wing and a battered Son at LW lining up against United.

Ange needs to go now unless we get Terzic we give Matt Wells an interim coaching role ( not Mason).Hopefully he would offer some organisation to the team.
