It projected two perfect circles on the wall we were facing. One of my mates in a deep voice piped up This is the voice of the mysterons. It broke the tension. And you're all wrong the prettiest of them all was venus in fireball XL5 Always had you down as a Griselda fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I assume Diego is o.k as think it was classed as a "small injury" before Leicester so two weeks rest should've fixed that. Not sure we'll see Kons for Everton but hopefully he's o.k for the Young Boys game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 So you’re telling me Konsa is out, along with Bailey and Cash? And maybe Ollie? But…it’s only three games into the season. I thought we had all our bad luck last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You expected to have no injuries in a football season? 4/5 players out every month is pretty much standard for any team. 2 players dropping out with ACL in same month, yea that's next level.

Pinebro Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Isn't bad luck when we have many injuries every season Some of our players are injury prone, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have "many" injuries. About average, some teams had more, some had less last season. Also I wouldn't say we have many injury prone players. Perhaps Bailey and Cash are worst in this respect.

You wonder whether it's something to do with Emery's training and whether it needs to change because so many injuries this early on isn't right. I think it's more like 5 than 3 (Bailey, Cash, Carlos, Konsa, Philogene). You could even argue Watkins but he hasn't had a proper preseason so we'll excuse that one. With Kamara and Mings still not ready for the squad we have like 7 players out which is certainly unusual this early on in the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted Friday at 09:26 Share Posted Friday at 09:26 If I'm not mistaken our numbers don't include Emi Buendia as his injury occurred before the season started . So that would increase our count by 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted Friday at 09:33 Share Posted Friday at 09:33 I don't think games missed through ACL'S can be attributed to Emery's training. More a smaller squad with lots of games. Early season injuries are also fairly common I imagine as the body is trying to get back up to pace of proper 1st team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for 9/10 players last season. We are a season behind Newcastle who ran their players into the ground in 22/23 and paid the consequences last season. Due to FFP we aren't allowed to sign a decent backup, so we've tried to increase the squad size wherever possible. Meanwhile Man City have 2 quality players for each position, except Rodri.

Not in Konsa and JJ's case as it happened on International Duty. Edited Friday at 10:03 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
