My opinion. It's only an opinion
I don't think Evan ever properly recovered from that Fabinho challenge. He played on manfully that season, but Chelsea smashed him out of the game a few weeks after he got back.
I think it's common knowledge among PL teams that Evan is struggling for fitness...
That is best way to understand it.
Our fortunes in the coming weeks and months will depend on a) how much time we can get out of the limited minutes players. b) not incurring further injuries.
You could have chucked Barco in the out (or part timers) pile, he's out in the same way as Adingra is.
Questions, questions
Who broke the confidence? Are they in the doo doo with the club? Why tell the press in the first place if we want to keep it a secret?
I'm saying there are questions to answer.
I think it's nothing to do with VAR breaks or the world cup.
I think it's all to do with conditioning. If you try to ultra fine tune someone athletically they are more likely to get injured. An F1 car is more likely to break down than my 15 year old...
From the article you posted. Again, there are questions to answer
Chelsea have the least total recovery time across the period with 143.5 hours, and Brighton have the most with 287.5 hours.
The trouble is that at least 6 of the players you're counting as fit are only likely to be able to play for small part of the game if that. I mean Fati might feature for 10 mins, but he's not fit.
So yes I think we're short of players. RDZ knows it. The club knows it, but missed their...
Well. It could be to do with ladders, cats or some kind of gypsy graveyard which we've built the training ground on and suffered it's curse.
But if I had overall responsibility for player conditioning i'd be shifting pretty uncomfortably in my seat right now. And I'd be trying to think of...
Totally agree with this.
RDZ luckily not as naive as many on this board, but unfortunately we couldn't land our targets.
We actually have a very decent squad which can cope seamlessly with 3 or 4 injuries. But we've been averaging 8 to 10 for the last few months, and that's when things start...
