8 - Pedri

[MonteCuler]

It's mainly because of shit squad depth.

Somebody else pointed it out before on here... with this number of injuries almost any team will have shit options tbh. When all players are fit our squad depth is actually not that bad. But this is simply insane, I don't know if a single first team player has not sustained any injury this season.

What on earth are they doing in training? Someone from our fitness staff clearly needs to be fired. The worst part is that the only top-tier teams that had a free summer are Barca and Liverpool. However, we now have much bigger issues than those teams that played in that ridiculous Club World Cup. This season is definitely going to be a disaster.

I thought medical staff was doing great job last season but seems they were just pretty lucky. Or they planned it but only thought of short term and 1 season

Perharps everyone just gave all of their energy, their best into last season and they have little left for this year.

It is a question of luck

It is a question of luck

if only 2-3 players were injured, I would agree.

I don't think so. We have a very young squad and we are still in October. Something was done horribly wrong during the preparation for this season. Additionally, players had a long summer break so they had more than enough time to recover. IMHO there are only two possible scenarios:

1. Our training sessions are either inadequate, horribly planned or too intense so players are exhausted.
2. Players were fooling around during the preseason and now they are paying the price.

I am 99% sure that this has nothing to do with bad luck. There are too many injuries for that.

The DM should be by far the best off the ball defensive player in the team. De Jong will be box to box, more defensive oriented also. Pedri is the CM-AM.

This means both Fermin and Olmo should be on the market. Casado also. Everyone almost. And the DM should be a hit. Can't afford to fuck it up.

No such DM exist right now or is available. Unless you're going for Rodri who has his own injury problems now.

 

[jamrock]

Sign rodri just off vibes & faith..

Pep will do us a favor.

 

[JamDav1982]

Real are waiting on Rodri if doesnt renew.

Should spun them after their balondor behaviour but they want him.

Or see out contract and join Barca!

 

[DonAK]

CB, FB and ST are bigger priorities anyway. We need two CBs with Christensen leaving in the summer.

This squad simply cannot handle another low activity summer. So the board need to find a way somehow without fucking us over in the future. Will be fun to see......

I alluded it in another thread.

The Barca starting XI last season could contend with any team in the world - which is also the reason why it was driven into the ground.

It gave us a lot of success but we are paying heavily for it this year.

This is the result of an unbalanced squad. An great starting XI with virtually no depth.

Why are we paying for it this year?
You think staying healthy and having luck in one year will automatically bring you injuries next year?
Last year the teams with injury problems where bayern and real madrid, this season they have no troubles.
Maybe the preseason was not good but this has nothing to du with last season

 

[JamDav1982]

Who of the injured player were done into the ground last year though?

Garcia wasnt at Barca.
Gavi didnt play much.
Christensen didnt play much.
Olmo wasnt fit enough to be driven into the ground.

That leaves likes of Lewa, Pedri and Raph who on minutes played are not dramatically more than a lot of other players at top clubs and also got a full summer away from CWC in way others didnt.

Folk say Koundes form etc but he was out from middle of April until the start of this season injured and that in itself is rest for the body as cant do anything.

Maybe we should say last year we didnt lose the important players except frenkie but came back before final periode. Bad luck were just balde and kounde against inter

So my opinion is clear it is just bad luck that the important players are injured
