22/23 Injuries Thread

Sounded positive on Daka and Praet returning soon but not getting carried away given our record! 

 

 

[StanSP]

I have no words. 

 

It's too hard to defend anymore or give the benefit of the doubt. 

 

3 hamstring injuries in the space of a week. Crazy. What happened in the break ?!

What did he say? Back for next match?

Just more excuses for the press to let Brendo off the hook as usual.

Posted Tanner's tweet, here is the direct quote re. Daka and Praet: 

 

“It doesn’t look as bad as what it appeared at the time. He’s had scans and it’s shown up ok. It may just be a spasm. He may be ok later in the week. We’ve got longer term injuries through broken ankles and knees. Praet is moving better. He’s starting to free up. It’s a very small squad. You see that.”

It cannot just be a coincidence all these injuries - what are we doing as a football club on the medical side?

[lgfualol]

I think Rodgers is into homeopathy and our medical team are rubbing essential oils and herbs on the players. Maddison has been going to sleep with potatoes in his socks to fix his knee.

[cruzFOX]

Rogers just aid in his port match commentary that the injuries are a result of the players not getting enough R & R. we are now skating on some seriously thin ice. Any more injuries and we won't even be able to field a team let alone a competitive one. Just flabbergasted at our situation which is dire in every way.

Not enough R&R? The vast majority of them have just had a month off. What is he on about?

He’s blaming squad size and not being backed.

He’s deflecting blame from himself and his defunct management style.

 

As ever.

[adam]

KDH pulling a muscle when having a shot before the game. The sort of injury you see at a Sunday morning park game. 

Do we not bother with any scretching exercises before hand? 

[Aus Fox]

So right now its

 

Ricardo

Evans 
Justin

Bertrand

Praet

KDH

Soumare

Maddison

Daka

Alves

 

All out injured? That’s almost a better starting 11 than the one we put out tonight.

had to chortle. Have visions of Brendan placing healing crystals on hamstrings chanting 'om' and hoping their chakras align!

He is refusing to use a big chunk of the squad.

Not enough R&R did he have them in the coal mines over the World Cup or what? 

[Ricey]

His reasoning for these injuries is an absolute disgrace. More deflection towards his mantra that he hasn't been backed.

 

Every club has 23 registered players and at the start of the season we didn't have many injuries, so the size of the squad isn't relevant. His point, in reality, is that he doesn't think we have enough quality in depth to rotate, but who's fault is that. Even last season when we had European football he seemed unwilling to rotate or use his subs, even in Europe when we had 5 subs available. He runs players into the ground and then bemoans the small size of his squad.

 

He also mentioned the fact that some players are playing too much, without enough R&R, yet most of our injuries over the last few weeks have been for players that didn't go to the World Cup and have had a 6 week break.

[CosbehFox]

Wouldn’t surprise me if KDH been playing with an injury for a long time and he requires an operation. There’s been times where he’s limping 

[Spudulike]

Pretty much standard that players get 'injured' when the team is doing poorly. 

[Matt]

I thought the narrative was we wouldn’t get as many injuries this year because we’ve not got extra games in Europe?

Have we ever had as many injuries under other managers as we have under Rodgers and his training staff

[reynard]

I've been sympathetic in the past and some injuries. like Praet's, are just part and parcel pf playing the game but soft tissue injuries and repeated long term injuries speak of insufficient preparation and monitoring.

Some of those injured are probably basically finished as pro footballers at this level though.

[Rigga]

Mad to think that during our PL winning season, we barely had an injury..

 

the last 2/3 years we have more injured than fit…

 

something isn’t right somewhere

We're back to it being down purely to luck and nothing else now.
