Having an ongoing row with my Arsenal and Spurs STH pals…..their injuries are to ‘far more critical players’ apparently :facepalm:
i have some sympathy with Spurs on this.
Despite our level of injuries, with the exception of Lamptey at LB, we haven't been playing players out of position.

Our injury crisis was far more impactful last season as teh injuries/absences were concentrated on our wide players.

However our injuries have prevented us from developing any consistency,
Pretty sure we haven't played the same starting line up in any more than 2 consecutive matches (if that)

A bit, but it has really stopped Fab allowing partnerships to develop and start a more or less settled XI…….I’d imagine a midfield pair of, say Wieffer and Baleba, along with Pervis and Mitoma on the left, Welbeck and Rutter up front etc would have seen us pick up several more points.

At least we built a stronger squad (learning from last season)

Maybe when people go on about how Fab has 'lost the dressing room', maybe this is what they mean and it's literally players not being in the dressing room because they're injured?

:wink:

Or we've opened a second dressing room to accommodate our massive squad and Fab keeps showing up at the wrong one
