Which is where it becomes a piss take. Injuries and suspensions are part of football and shouldn’t be considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 31 December 2021 Share Posted 31 December 2021 Don't see AFTV enter the online social spaces as much as it used to, such a shame On that note and the problems many teams have had with re-scheduling, the virus and European Football, Arsenal are in a very good position to make the most of their position. Young fit squad, with confidence and their old head and downbeat "captain" seemingly on the way out bodes well. Really interesting with Lukaku too. When he signed there I'm sure they made this video, which is ridiculous now, where he's on about his destiny being at Chelsea, how it was wrong he left and how he so loved the club with images of him as an awestruck youngster going around Stamford Bridge - to five months later openly going on about returning to Inter Milan after a £100m transfer 5months ago. It's mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Matt Posted 31 December 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 31 December 2021 Fully behind this, there has to be far more transparency, too many clubs just deciding to impose their own ‘winter break’ or simply cry games off because they have injuries. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple solution would be to treat the rearranged fixtures like you used to have to in an FA Cup replay. If you sign any players after the original game, they aren't eligible to play.

Plenty of talk on here about the intensity of training being a factor. Maybe so and it may be me, but the tackling seems to have a got a lot more reckless this season. Every week it seems we are seeing more and more two footed tackles. I’m sure there are stats which will prove otherwise, just my perception.

Ultimately, teams should only be cancelling games for COVID cases, then utilising development squads to back fill spaces for the injured players. In some ways, the added breaks may help us, as our mass of injured players might be back. You could see why teams would get annoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 1 January 2022 Share Posted 1 January 2022 Leeds not playing Liverpool is a clear example of a club wanting a game called off…..shipping goals….Liverpool next up…..no thanks…..similarly the title race could well be over by Sunday, making a far more attractive fixture for Leeds, plus Liverpool could be without Sadie and Mo… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every week it seems we are seeing more and more two footed tackles. I’m sure there are stats which will prove otherwise, just my perception. I think you're right. Re reckless tackles, I thought that the new leniency was in order to allow reasonable contact, especially in the penalty box, so as to discourage diving at the faintest touch. Instead it appears to allow more "roughing up" and dangerous assaults all over the pitch. And as for hamstring injuries, they are rife and especially among our squad, and it's particularly noticeable immediately on return from an injury. I've done yoga for many years and now attend regular Pilates sessions. This is similar to yoga but concentrates very much on the core muscles in the abdomen and also very much on increasing strength and flexibility in the hip and leg joints. It is interesting that teachers of these exercises agree that high intensity leg activity, and football is always cited among the worst, promotes very tight hamstrings. Indeed, some of the exercises are specifically aimed at making the hamstrings more loose, strong, relaxed and flexible. It sees to me very believable that footballers, especially if they partake in very strenuous training sessions, are going to start matches with their hamstrings and other soft tissues in the leg joints extremely tight and ready to pop at the first action that severely overstretches them. Indeed, I would imagine that those parts of the body, if toned by exercises such as Pilates, would make the leg joints more resilient against heavy knocks and awkward landings.

Actually, I don’t think he has given up on the league at all he must believe that the team are capable of reaching an average of 2 ppg from back end Jan when most will be available. (As was the case first half last two campaigns) that could have us in the 55/65 area which may be EL qualification at the upper end cups will deal with themselves - the lottery of the draw as ever. He rarely plays a weak side in any case (given the available players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe's Fox Posted 1 January 2022 Share Posted 1 January 2022 (edited) Ederson is literally the most protected player in the league. He's a mentalist.
