The Mikel Merigol's Footboned Injury Thread

USArsenal

Yeah, he's going to be going against probably the best LW in the world right now. Kvara will eat him alive if he gets on the ball.

Don Pacifico

USArsenal I don't think it's that dramatic.

If anything, I'm more concerned that it'll completely blunt the right side of our attack.

Coombs

The problem with Kvaratskhelia is also what he'll do to you when he's off the ball. Not sure how press resistant Mosquera is, and I worry about intercepted back passes into the interior.

TambourineMan

If Timber's not back, it'll have to be Cala RB and Hincapie LB.

TambourineMan

I'd rather play Hincapie than Mosquera - especially because Kvara will cut inside onto Hincapie's stronger foot. Some Tomiyasu against Salah type setup.

Gurgen

Kvara is pretty much two footed so that doesn’t solve much

JazzG

Sicario2 In a previous games Summerville supposedly injured Odegaard as well.

Pepe LeFrits

Cala LB, Piero RB is probably how I'd go too

Qwiss

IBL not sure he does against a tricky winger. His biggest weakness is when he gets turned. He has good spring speed but he's slow when turned, very much a classic CB issue so I wouldn't blame him for it but against Kvara it could be a problem. Its why he picks up bookings wide as well as he grabs people when it happens.

Gurgen got schooled how? I remember Salmon being shakey in that game but Mosquera was fine.

IBL

Qwiss tbf nearly anyone would have trouble against Kvarna. In the absense of White and Timber, he's probably the best option available. Whoever plays right wing ahead of him will need to do plenty of tracking back to help out.

Gurgen

I remember him being skinned all the time by journeyman footballers. But he probably just underestimated the opposition and couldn't be arsed. Calafiori had the same. To be honest, I think he will have a difficult time against Kvara but I don't think he will be a total disaster. For me he's the only option we have now, I don't think we need to start experimenting with left footed players etc. now.

Qwiss

IBL for sure but a fit Timber is just about the best you can get to face him right now.

FEBravo

Even Timber got roasted for the first half hour or so. Then he locked him out.

Phil

Is there any hope of Timber being back for the final?

JazzG

Phil I don't think we will play him unless he can get some minutes in at least the final game of the season.

awooga83

I can't see it he'll have had no real match time you could role him out but he'll be will off it and possibly not fully fit

USArsenal

And if he's not fit, and we play him, chances are he gets injured again, and then out for the World cup. I know it should not be our problem, but its still a consideration

FantasticMrFox

USArsenal

It would be great to have him back, at least on the bench, for Palace and get a few minutes under his belt so he could play in the CL final

FEBravo

As brilliant as he is, throwing him out there cold in the CL final against Kvara does not seem like a great idea. I can see him coming on as a sub if we're ahead to shore things up.

Sicario2

FEBravo same thing happened with Ashley Cole in the 2006 CL final. Guy came straight into the team after 2-3 months out.
