The FA Cup is important to me & I endorse the team selection. A hamstring injury could easily happen at any time. I find your response a tad shortsighted. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Aus Fox 9,068 Posted 11 January Popular Post Report Share Posted 11 January Praet was always going to play in the FA Cup, he isn’t an automatic choice as a starter and would have been rightly pissed off if he didn’t get 90 in the cup. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My Post wasnt singllng you out...it was aimed both sides of the divide...I Lets get both fit,then give Rodgers the headache....hopefully both turn out top performers for us ,over somemore years... Poor argument was probably fair, tbh, though I was slightly above crap myself, because i wasn't in it long . Sometimes I'm just kicking ideas around without much thought. I think part of the reason we see things so differently (on FT generally) is that we are looking at different elements of the game when we watch. If you watch tennis, for example, everyone pretty much sees everything. Simple. But with 22 players, lightening quick transitions, off the ball movement, pressing, offside traps etc, you simply cannot keep an eye on everything, especially on TV. I spent quite a few games, earlier in the season, mainly admiring the geometry of Mendy's passing and positioning when he was really on. I probably missed loads of other important stuff because he was such a different DMC to Wilf, and it was novel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you have confidence in the depth of our squad to compete in 3 competitions and that we can just brush aside losing the likes of Praet for several PL games. Maddison is already nursing an injury and all it needs is for him to be sidelined then who comes in? We're back to the problems that cost us CL football ! Ok, Praet could have got the injury playing a league game or in training or playing with his dog in the back garden etc.. but he didn't, he got it against Stoke in an FA Cup match. Don't care what you say.. the PL and Europa should be the club's priorities and key players should of been rested/protected against the likes of Stoke City in a domestic cup competition.

les-tah 1,753 Posted 12 January Report Share Posted 12 January (edited) Hamza is not even an option in replacing Praet short term. Doesn’t offer anything going forward in the slightest. I’m not sure what kind of player KDH is but I’m sure its giving us a headache especially with the run of games coming up. Edited 12 January by les-tah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coolhandfox 3,389 Posted 12 January Report Share Posted 12 January Its a blow but there are probably 11 or 12 players who are more important to the team and squad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Injuries are part of the game. Of any sport. If you protected players all the time they’d never play. I’d rather be 2nd in the Prem and getting to another round of something and then having injuries. You’ve got something to hold on to. If you’re already out of a cup or half way down a league then why bother in the first place. Imagine if we’d rested a few players in the champ winning year. We’d never have won it. A perfect storm and pure luck on having no major injuries helped us win that. A disjointed season and injuries last season meant we didn’t hold on to CL football last year but we came damn close and still got EL. Also on the point of playing lower league opposition. Why not give players a run out. Let them get some form and enjoy themselves. Everyone treats sport so scientifically and calculated and whilst it has its place you have to remember that even players are people and they will want to play and enjoy their football. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
