2 man midfield
Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
Mad that we spent 33% of our entire budget on a guy who we don’t need and can’t stay fit.
It is not him who is getting the "hate". He is just collateral victim. It is criticism towards manager and Murtough who decided to sign him while even we, common fans, knew that it was stupid signing. It was so obvious to anybody except to Erik and John.I really don’t understand the hate that Mount gets for no reason at all
They all skip the warm up sessionsHow did Mount get injured again? He didn't even play much since he was last injured. The feck are we doing in training picking up so many injuries?
I think a lot of it isn't necessarily hating on the player, but more frustration at the decision to spend 55m on a non-priority position when there are gaping holes elsewhere in the squad.I really don’t understand the hate that Mount gets for no reason at all
Yeah pretty much this. It's nothing personal against him, it was just a weird weird signing who so far has proven to be pretty ineffectual and it actually kind of mirrors Sancho's early days at the club. Hopefully it won't continue that way and he'll get a lot better.I think a lot of it isn't necessarily hating on the player, but more frustration at the decision to spend 55m on a non-priority position when there are gaping holes elsewhere in the squad.
Well that's kind of worth commenting on, especially as we spent 55 million on him. It's still very early days and the situation isn't entirely his fault but you can't blame people for being a bit underwhelmed or puzzled by the signing. It does generate discussion.Strange how so many people have commented on a player they deem to be pointless....
More balanced at least.Well it's going to be a McTominay-Amrabat-Bruno midfield now, so it's not exactly an improvement.
I think we might see a McTominay - Hannibal - Bruno midfield.Well it's going to be a McTominay-Amrabat-Bruno midfield now, so it's not exactly an improvement.
One year ago it was early days for Antony. Two years ago it was Sancho. Didn't really work out.Well that's kind of worth commenting on, especially as we spent 55 million on him.

Wasn’t he injured a lot woth Chelsea?Tweet

It's bizarre to say the least. Opinions change fast around here. I think he will do well in the long term. Circumstances have gone against him since he signed for us. Squad is all over the place with injuries and out of form players right now. Some posters are fickle as feck.I really don’t understand the hate that Mount gets for no reason at all

Mainoo!I think we might see a McTominay - Hannibal - Bruno midfield.
He had one fairly big injury at the end of his last season there. Otherwise not at all, and in fact had barely missed any games for them since breaking into their team. Basically just a game here and there.Wasn’t he injured a lot woth Chelsea?
He can’t help injuries but feck me this signing is tragic on so many levels.
I don’t think the sort of niggles that would keep someone off the pitch for a day or week would even get a mention. I would say 2-4 weeks is the usual time frame for any “minor injury” that gets brought up at a press conference. Hoping for 2 but a risk of 4. That would be the norm for any grade 1 muscle or ligament strain.One report saying a month - ETH and everyone else is saying he has a minor injury - which I interpret as a day or a week rather than a month.
If you want me to lose all of my remaining hair then yes.Anyone else think it'd be a bit of fun to see a McTom - DVB - Mount midfield, just for the hell of it? If only we had prime Cleverly to slot into that McTom role. So much space invading.
Imagine it worked.
Bald Fraudness is the first step towards becoming a tactical mastermind, so yes, get it gone and achieve your potential.If you want me to lose all of my remaining hair then yes.
You don't get this amount of injuries and niggles through bad luck. If you push their bodies to much, too often, injuries will occur. Who's to say our medical/training staff are pulling their hair out as ETH ignores them? Its all just wild speculation as none of us ultimately know.Guys it isn't training methods. It can't be. As much as we knock the club we will have a bunch of highly trained professionals on the medical/training side. Imagine how bad the medical and training side of things would have to be to cause this many injuries. It's not feasible.
It's a mixture of bad luck and naturally injury prone players.
Take the latest two. Pellistri's injury was jist bad luck. Mount was injured loads last season at a different club.
It's really not, we spent a big portion of our budget on him, pointless or not it'll warrant discussion.Strange how so many people have commented on a player they deem to be pointless....
Nah. What you’ve claimed there is wild speculation. Putting it down to injury prone players and bad luck is rational speculation. There’s an important difference.You don't get this amount of injuries and niggles through bad luck. If you push their bodies to much, too often, injuries will occur. Who's to say our medical/training staff are pulling their hair out as ETH ignores them? Its all just wild speculation as none of us ultimately know.
All I see is players returning from injury and being started game after game. It'll happen with Shaw, he'll come back and immediately start every game then get himself injured again.
Nah. People are just making excuses to defend ETH and fall back on the "it's bad luck". It could easily be that ETH is simply over training them no? It could easily be that he makes them start too often after injury? That's not wild speculation, it's common sense. Instead we complain that it's bad luck. It's just people turning a blind eye.Nah.

Every outfield player we signed in the summer was injured or barely back on arrival and our preseason was pretty crap even by our own poor standards. Add those factors to the 62 matches last season (more than any club in Europe's big 5 leagues) which happened to have a World Cup shoved halfway through and maybe this isn't really so strange after all.It has to be our training. Maybe too much intensity which is causing all these injuries, it surely can't just be a coincidence that so many players are getting injured?
Genuine question, with all these injuries is Donny available? Surely he should make at least the bench now. I lost any hope with him making it here a long time ago but we are desperate for bodies.Mason van de Beek
