INJURIES

I have read with interest my fellow FT comments and where we see the team being at. My thoughts are we are a very good side and with Rodgers and a bit of tweaking we can challenge the top 6 gap. Our problem will be if we have many injuries. We just don’t have strength in depth like the top 6 do and unless we get an injury free run like the miracle season it will always be a bridge too far to sustain a regular challenge.

I don’t have access to figures but I would imagine we are towards the bottom of the premier league injury stats these last few years which is a credit to our backroom staff but moving forward I think this will be our Achilles heel.

Let's hope not they usually take around 6 months to clear up properly.

The real worry is if Vardy got injured and the goals dry up. Nevermind Top 6 we'd be bottom three with our current options!

At least, had mine for 9 months and it's still not great. Fine for most of the time, but don't ask me to break into a jog for more than a few metres. :(

This is what I’m saying we are a couple of injuries away from a disaster

You can say the same about every club in the league aside from Man City. Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and United don’t have any  meaningful depth.

 

We need a centre mid and a striker, we’re not far off otherwise.

We have no real like for like to replace him either, unless we can sign a Callum Wilson, as was being mentioned late on last season - then again he's injury prone! Great to see Vardy finish in the top 5 Prem. strikers for two consecutive seasons now, in spite of finishing 9th in both of them!

It's the same for most Premiership teams I would suggest with the odd exception. There's an element of luck every year. As well as clubs not having bottomless pockets there's also quite a problem keeping the more squad players happy and motivated. Easier to do if your Man City or Liverpool at the moment perhaps.

Bit harsh on Perez tbqh. 

 

Think with Maddison, Barnes, Tielemans and Ricardo providing he'd score plenty. 

 

He's not Vardy but he's not bottom three material either.

Tbqh it would have been impressive had he known back in May that Perez was going to be part of the squad ?
