Our medical team must need a rest.

Yep but on the plus side they must be raking it in from all the overtime

As I keep saying, we should have played "crappy" Lankshear for half a game, so Solanke doesn't have to.
Lankshear would be "crappy" but that is not the point, saving Solanke from SIX WEEKS OFF is the point.

Geoff Scott is upset about several things, so he has his own agendas. The timing of all this should absolutely register as curious. Because it is. I smell rats...

Its true though. Ive got mates in the sports science team who have been furious all year that all their advice is being ignored

I wonder how much having to play 30 minutes on that 3G pitch at Tamworth contributed to Solanke’s knee injury.
As I seem to recall knee injuries being mentioned by Redknapp following our CL match on Bern’s artificial turf.

The two specific things ive been told is that he wont let players who flag as injury risk in the data be pulled out of training sessions, as has always happened.
And that he makes used subs do full training the day after matches, instead of having them on the rehab schedule with the starters, which again is very irregular.

Errr...IF your friends in the sports science team are being honest with you, I can tell you you're only hearing THEIR side of it.

Of course. Their perspective is their advice is being ignored, whereas most managers heed it.
Ange's side is that the players are wimps and pain is just weakness leaving your body, or some alpha nonsense. But no sure, he has a very short term focus - losing the next game could get him sacked. Whereas the sports science team focus is on the longer term and player welfare. But the balance has supposedly gone much worse than Conte now.

But what does that mean? Physiologically, Van De Ven is going to 'flag' as a higher injury risk due to physical build, age, and dynamic nature of combining those factors. Pedro Porro might flag 'less' as he is a different physicality. What you're suggesting is that if a player flags as being in pain or feeling uncomfortabkle in training, Ange tells them to get on with it. I have not heard that. As for the second point, subs are playing what, on average 10-15 mins? I am not sure I see a massive issue. Has this egregious 'sub training' caused any injuries?

No, as in data readings. VdV has done 20+ sprints in 5 consecutive days. Our readings show he's now top of the red, 95% likely to strain a hamstring if he doesnt now have 2 days with no sprints. *Ping*... Oh...

Listen to the pod I posted earlier
It has anges sport science guy from Celtic on it who also looked after pochs team here

OK. I'm not buying that personally. The only thing regarding him and Romero I would consider purchasing is the fact that Ange decided to gambe on both against Chelsea (which IF HE made the decision was a stupid one for sure - I said at the time it felt desperate OR he had been poorly advised). Of course, my other thought over that is WHY would they have told Postecoglu that each player 'could maybe' play? Why not say 'absolutely not for another 10 days' or whatever? Your mates are fighting for their professional reputations. I'm sure they'll want perspectives shared...

Its not been about game calls. Its him insisting they do full training, against medical advice. The problems are being sown there. It just a timebomb from there.
Everyone of us knows Porro is next to pull up with a big one, with Kulu and Sarr in close behind. Even with lay eyes we can see he is flogging them

OK mate. This has become a discussion we will not be fully aligned on, so onwards!
