It took about 15 minutes to get to the tunnel. It looked really scary. Edit: More seriously about 10 minutes.

More embarrassing was the lack of stretchers and medical help. Not just Coutinho but the Calvert Lewin situation too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Can't rely on him simply his body doesn't hold up that's why we need to upgrade and sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I am guessing as the home team we should be providing stretchers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special shoutout for the **** idiots who let him hobble off instead of getting a stretcher. What's the **** point in the additional risk to a player clearly struggling? Not the first time we've seen this circus from our medical team. Thanks for your expert insight about what the injury was and how it should be handled. Assume you are a doctor of some description? I should write to the club with the benefit of your expert opinion about what our top quality highly trained medical team are doing wrong. I'm sure they'll appreciate your input and allow the current staff to apply for clowning roles at Zippos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to balance himself but the shove in the back sent his momentum crashing. Yeah, I've no idea where these hamstring theories have come from. From where I was it was pretty clear the petulant Everton player just shoved him in the back out of frustration causing him to plant his whole off balance bodyweight, at speed on a straightened extended leg. I wouldnt be at all surprised if it isn't another ACL or some kind of serious knee injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had to be carried off the pitch in agony with hamstrings. But playing again in 4-6 weeks. But Coutinho could really do without hamstring issues at this stage of his career. Good news if it’s not more serious though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right you are. You see it week in week out with all clubs. These are highly trained professionals, the very best in the business. I think they know when it's OK to limp off and when a stretcher is needed. If you want I have give you a montage of Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Madrid, PSG, Bayern players being limped off the pitch between physios. Assume they all operate as a circus too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as every other game that any time he gets space he shoots wayward or weakly to the keepers arms Congrats literally the only person in the world who thought he was poor when he came on. I thought he was making people eat their words, and looked quick and mobile. 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
