Emergency Ward 10 - The Injuries Thread

[3 Stacks]

I'd imagine Jota's ribs/chest still hurt. Rib stuff seems to be a crapshoot in terms of healing.

Slots going to need to use Elliot and Endo more. Endo should have been on the pitch the second Mo's second hit the net. Flogging the 4 lads we have while leaving 2 capable lads unused is bad for business.

 

We do need to use more. Harvey isn't back to fitness yet clearly and the derby isn't really time to see how he goes. And it's clear he doesn't want endo. I'd have played him on Wednesday and I'd play him tomorrow. I'm not a fan of him either, but I'm sure he won't be out of his depth against those cunts. But I suspect endo and Harvey will get their minutes against girona and Southampton.

 

The issue is clearly the business we chose not to do in the summer.

Slot isn't having Endo at all is he...20 mins he has played in league this season - mostly being brought on for a minute or so.

Not at all. Until Grav went off after an hour or so I would have started him tomorrow as he obviously can't play every minute.

It's not even as if he's done anything wrong, noticeably anyway, in either of the cup games or his cameos. Spoke fairly highly about his character after the Palace game....was expecting to see a lot of him than we have. Oh well, turning down Marseille's 12m offer in summer looks more baffling now.

I think it's clear he wanted him gone, but for whatever reason, we couldn't find a buyer at the right price. We're paying the cost a bit now though, because he just doesn't want him near the team. But with these extra games and basically running the midfield on 4 lads, I've a real fear we could run out of steam very soon. Hopefully he at least gives him minutes in the next 2 midweek games, which can allow the others a blow. And try and get Harvey some fitness in those same games which maybe allows us to use 5 if them going forward.

Gravenberch is the worry as he's chopped and changed the other 3. Interesting he put Curtis there midweek and he definitely needs to start getting Harvey some minutes so it's 3 from 5.

Hopefully no protective boot and, I assume gym work, means Tsmiskas is close now…

 

 

I reckon Alisson, Jota & Chiesa all play at least an hour in Girona.

I think that's why I'd give him a go tomorrow. Endo, Jones & Dom.

That's what I went with as well midweek. Slot said Grav starts tomorrow so unless Grav moves up one Endo isn't starting.

[Scott_M]

Hopefully Grav can keep his nose clean tomorrow, gets himself an accidentally on purpose yellow v Fulham and the conveniently misses Southampton.

I think he would be banned for Spurs in that scenario. They changed the rules so that 5/10 bookings is only for league games.

Yeah, I agree, I don't think endo will get near the starting line up.

Kostas can't be that bad if he is allowing Dom to use him as a foot stool

The real question about Kostas is - what the fuck is going on here?

 

[Barrington Womble]

Tyler Morton injured and out of the squad for tomorrow. There's a chance he could have picked up a few minutes tomorrow with Macca suspended. Not the biggest loss, but a shame in terms of timings for the lad. 

[Binomial]

I'd much rather see Nyoni given the opportunity over Morton anyway, not that he's terrible or anything but Nyoni's potential is far greater and it's pretty evident Morton has no future a the club.

Chiesa 'ill' - the lad is a fucking joke.

 

"While it may have been hoped that he would then join the Liverpool squad in Girona on Tuesday night, he is no longer expected to travel."

He had a good Euros in 2021, though.

[Bobby Hundreds]

His name is an anagram of "I Aches" we should of known!

When is fucking Diogo "nick cotton" Jota back for a brief stint until he fucks off back into the wilderness again.

World class post. Marco Van Basten 1988 brilliance right there.

 

Anyhow, I'd gladly take Diogo back for the difficult festive period taking in the Mancs, Forest and Brentford away as well, then being off until the final 5 to 6 games if offered it. 

 

The guy is everything Nunez isn't. A world class finisher who would be especially important in highly tense situations.

You where right about everything in that post. Except having utd and difficult period in the same sentence.... They're fucking shit!

Probably get a result against City this weekend though.
