The Havertz's Knee Memorial Injury Thread

Sicario2 He hasn't been called up by Japan since last year

Funny how injury prone Partey has suddenly become fit when he is in the last year of his contract.

Claudius

Just glad that White is getting operated on. He hasn’t looked himself for a long time. As much as everyone likes to go on about how we have too many defenders, White has had to play non stop for 2 years due to the Timber, Cala and Tomi injuries, and Zin’s indifferent form.

We need him back to full end-to-end intensity.

Qwiss

Claudius we wouldn't have too many defenders if they were good enough and not crocks.

Burnwinter

True but it's a shame White didn't trigger whatever injury has necessitated this surgery before he sat out the Euros.

I'm reading Calafiori is definitely back in training (see here for example) so that's a blessing.

USArsenal

Maybe there's a reason our defenders (especially the wide ones) end up being crocks. Arteta's preferred style of play requires them to sprint up the field to be involved with our setup play (overlaps, etc) and then sprint back to defend... Over and over and over again. That takes a toll..

Just a thought

Claudius

USArsenal everybody works hard in this system. It’s not an easy way to play. That’s why most teams can’t keep up with us.

USArsenal

Claudius Yes, you're right. But its also why we end up getting injuries (last season's anomaly aside, where our core players somehow managed to avoid injury).

Qwiss

Claudius working this hard is going to lead to inevitable burn out though. Its why he needs to rotate more.

Claudius

Agree with all of this. Liverpool went through the same. This is expected.

Coombs

Claudius I'm confused. If it's expected, we should have been more prepared, no?

Coombs

Surely that’s exactly what we did by signing Calafiori…

Sicario2

goon

So we try to cover injury prone full backs by signing an injury prone full back? Make it make sense

QuincyAbeyie

I guess they assessed Caliafori's injury as a freak accident. Whether that's right or not I have no idea.

QuincyAbeyie

Trossard subbed off after 37 minutes.

USArsenal

Is the site down, or is just no one discussing anything? Lol.

Coombs

USArsenal I feel like we need a Tolly book club

Burnwinter

USArsenal Just an absolute snoozefest in the international break

Claudius

Burnwinter even worse than it being a snooze fest is that it’s the third international break just 11 rounds into the league. I think it partly explains why all the teams look so bad. Managers barely have time with their players. Every few weeks they’re gone for ten days to play Nations League

Burnwinter

Claudius

The constant thresher of international fixtures is bloody stupid. We literally just had the Euros, and that's why all our England players are half broken a quarter of the way through the league season.

And if it's not that it's sticking the World Cup in Qatar in the middle of the season.

I am not against international football, but the standard's low compared to the Prem and there's just too much of it. The qualifying matches should be more focused on the year prior to the major tournaments (AFCON, Euros, Copa America, WC etc), not just going on all the fucking time without stopping.
