    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Ghanian media reportimg that Kudus has refused medical advice to have surgery in order to attempt to play in the world cup. Just a reminder that you can make assumptions about the medical and fitness department. Most clubs use external medical consultations for serious injuries anyway. A...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    It likely is true. Name another club where x2 of their first XI never kicked a ball all season, where a third and fourth didn't kick a ball since January and whose first and second choice left backs managed 19 games between them combined. Thats just off the top of my head.

    Cryptocurrency

    It is more the implication routinely peddled that crypto is inherently dodgy in comparison to other methods of storing or transferring value. It isn't. Criminals are using it because it is there. Not because it inherently favours illicit activity.

    Cryptocurrency

    On this "crypto helps criminals and sanctions evaders". Criminals and sanctions evaders hedge their bets. They use every method of storing and transferring value known to man. Crypto services are now regulated for financial crime prevention in FATF compliant countries and have been for years...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    Yeah i thought the same. Tries to insinuate something shady going on that the jounalist has unearthed but half the article is quoting open remarks made about it all on platforms like LBC. You finish it thinking "not sure what the killer point here is"

    Those finishes are any level finishes though. The real difference at PL or higher championship level would be first touch and hold up play, speed of thought making up for lack of speed on pitch and the confidence to do that second type of finish routinely. One of the things that made Kane so...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    depends what sort of break clause there may or not be in respect of relegation. If there isn't one, it would take a huge financial commitment to get him out of the frankly eyewatering contract we threw at him

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    You can only get so much when you have Maddison, Kulu, Kudus, Odobert out, plus Solanke, Richarlison and Bergvall not fully fit. Plus no fit natural left back and your best passer out from the back Romero out. He has now lost Xavi and Solanke. Hard work will have to be enough. And if it isn't...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    It isn't about how many forwards you have on a pitch. 4 or 5 forwards starved of service when the defence is getting overrun doesn't do anything. It is about achieving the best balance to start keeping possession and creating chances. You have answered your own Q in the post - his selections...

    Xavi Simons

    poor regime can make you more prone to injury. Genetics can make you more prone to injury. 2 players could have the same stress put on the ACL and one goes and one doesn't

    Xavi Simons

    If your body isn't in the best condition you are more prone to injury when putting it under stress. Don't know who it was but someone was commenting on the players fitness under Frank and how there appeared to be signs of improvement under Tudor. Pure speculation but if the team had allowed a...
