Ric Flair Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 At what point does Brendan seriously have to look at how they train, prepare and recover for games? His injury record here is a disgrace and it's quite amazing how well he managed to do here but it's now taking its toll. Schmeichel Albrighton Amartey / Nelson Vestergaard Thomas Soumare Tielemans KDH Maddison Perez / Lookman Iheanacho Hope we have the likes of Chris Popov and Maswanhise on the bench but I bet we won't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox1980 Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 Why have we not tried harder to get this game called off. We must be struggling to field a team as it is. I see Liverpools game is called off today they always seem to come up smelling of roses don’t they? Then we got to play them 48hrs later and that will be our 3rd game in 6 days and they will have had a decent break. Fear the worst these next 2 games! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying it awhile that new training ground has something to do with it. Whether it’s training schedule or pitches something isn’t right but u would think they would know that with all the specialists/scientists etc at clubs these days. Is it just luck??

It's not just the training ground, our injuries under him were quote prolific prior to us moving in there so I'm more inclined to look at that and also his track record at others clubs which is bad and the common denominator is Rodgers and his training methods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been thinking the same about the injuries for some time and believe the problem goes deeper than simply Rennie leaving. The injuries started kicking in about 9 months into Rodgers tenure here and it wouldn't be the first time a clubs injuries have increased after a new manager comes in playing higher intensity & pressing football (compared to Puel) but not for it to go on for this long. Training intensity, conditioning and sports science (methods and staff inc Brendan) all need looking at. Players being rushed back from injuries would be down to the physios but why are we picking up so many injuries in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they won’t let you continue to use covid as an excuse, week after week …..you have an outbreak and you have postponements. Surely you then have to sort your covid crap out. also, we still don’t know how many players had covid and how many were isolating. 30 minutes ago, Fox1980 said: Why have we not tried harder to get this game called off.

Fearing the worst today but let’s hope pep messes his tactics up and Daka gets a few goals. I would say Vardy but apparently he played 20 mins with a tight hamstring against Liverpool so can’t see him playing today🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where you’re coming from but if you were a liverpool fan ahead of Wednesday night you’d have been saying that Leicester have had ten days rest …. we’ve had a clutch of players who missed ten days training because they weren’t vaccinated. That’s a self inflicted problem. If other clubs don’t have this particular issue then that’s not their fault ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 26 December 2021 Share Posted 26 December 2021 Feel genuinely sorry for anyone travelling to Manchester today. Possibly going to be as close to Stoke away that dreadful season as we’ve been for some time. Genuinely fear this will be a biggest defeat we’ve ever suffered….. There will be no holding back for city today, it’s a golden chance for the to get three points and batter their goal difference. Anything less than 4-0 will be a victory haha.
