Think every team does that. We don’t know the details. In hindsight it’s easy to say ”he shouldn’t have played”.We've been playing players who are carrying knocks

I know, but surely that should be their training, I hope they aren't overtraining during the week as well.We've been playing players who are carrying knocks
The CB's didn't play a huge amount of football as such. Not more than most anyway.Or maybe, just maybe, it might also be a result of the fact that last season we were the team that played the most football in Europe, with a winter World Cup in the middle. It’s also not like we’ve seen a surge in muscle injuries in the first half of this season across the top 5 leagues
They should be training extremely hard and there should be no excuses. It’s all about toughness. Like running 15 km in heat, or lifting weights for several hours, that will teach them.Right, our injuries are all down to bad luck and not down due to the wonderful training sessions that the manager carries out.
You did, you headhunted him from Arsenal.Did we not get a new medical guy in this season or am I imagining it?
He's made us worse ffsYou did, you headhunted him from Arsenal.
You’re welcome.
That guy must be a fecking lemon.You did, you headhunted him from Arsenal.
You’re welcome.
Funnily enough, since he left Arsenal have had the least injuries in the leagueThat guy must be a fecking lemon.
There is definitely something array with our training all these injuries to defensive players. I think ETH's chaos ball is asking too much of our defenders.
The CB's are up and down the pitch like full backs in this system. They can't handle it there bodies are not used to it, and it's showing.
We could try maybe trying to give them rest periods in games by having some controlled possession but no get the ball up the pitch rapid/push the defenders up/give ball away trying to force something/ initiate narrow press which gets bypassed have the CB'S charging back towards there own goal again. Rinse and repeat. No wonder the defenders have been dropping like flies.
I'd rather Arsenal get the points to help them to the title than City to be honest.For feck’s actual sake. So now we don’t even have one fit centre-back. All six of them are fecking injured. Beyond a joke.
What's his name?You did, you headhunted him from Arsenal.
You’re welcome.

Correct99 minute high intensity games that we fail to kill off. Lack of rotation. Lack of tactical nous has us running around like blue arse flies to compensate. Over training. Crap facilities. Old players, especially at the back. Slow players, especially at the back. Shaw's leg.
It's lots of things really.
Nothing to do with the coach or his staff though. 100% to do with the club structure…Another muscle injury in training
Yup. It’s a perfect storm of shit.99 minute high intensity games that we fail to kill off. Lack of rotation. Lack of tactical nous has us running around like blue arse flies to compensate.

Same here. Arsenal winning the title is the lesser evil.I'd rather Arsenal get the points to help them to the title than City to be honest.
Our season is fecked anyways.
They should have enough to beat us. Not that I'm hoping for a loss but they're very close now and they will be highly motivated to give Arteta his first PL title. We are in the shitter currently and there's nothing going for us.Yup. It’s a perfect storm of shit.
Same here. Arsenal winning the title is the lesser evil.
No other top team plays as open as us and leaves there defence so exposed causing the CB's in particular to do so many high intensity sprints. Other top teams largely control possession and territory better. Giving there defenders realitive rest periods leaving them springing back towards there own goal less.This is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous takes I've seen yet.
There is no excuse for a player not having the stamina to get up and down the pitch, CB or otherwise.
Fitness has been an issue for several years now, if this is the growing pains to go through to get them up to scratch then so be it.
Ole tried it on his second year to have them pressing with high energy, we lost 3 or 4 players all olin the first half against Liverpool. For too long it hasn't been good enough, and whether it's ETH or someone else, the players need to get themselves up to the same standards as the other top teams.
Those damn O'Driscolls!
Damnit, we should have kept Ole inita friendly reminder of what was occuring 3 years into Sir Alex regime, we had police coming to Old Trafford to remove season ticket holders who wanted "Fergie" out.
Ten Hag has been in his position just moving into two full seasons (714 days).
To put into context, Arteta, has been Arsenal manager since 2019, Arsenal should have booted him after the second year right ? As that what alot of the brain dead Arsenal fans wanted, right ?
Same thing here, fickle fecking football fans, worse of the worse, no idea how to control their emotions of "want daddy want".
Yeah, one can say Ten Hag has made "mistakes" who fecking hasnt.
But the drivel some people come up with here, my God, take a look at yourselves, take a look at the person inside, understand things take time.
And one last thing, in the beginning of the Fergie era, there were no sugger daddies, if there was a suger daddy it was us, a self created sugar daddy.
Do I really have to say this ???? Last 10 years (and earlier) the amount of money that has come into the game, that never existed before, which has come to teams that never had such funding, would have no effect on United's dominance ??
You got to be living in cookoo land to compare the era when Sir Alex dominated to today .......
A very nice piece here: Facing Manchester United: Opponents tell us what it’s like to play against ‘the big gap’ - The AthleticNo other top team plays as open as us and leaves there defence so exposed causing the CB's in particular to do so many high intensity sprints. Other top teams largely control possession and territory better. Giving there defenders realitive rest periods leaving them springing back towards there own goal less.
Do you not think it's a bit strange that we have had an constant defence injury crisis basically all season, despite the fact we actually have pretty good numbers squad wise in the defensive positions.
Or is it just 'bad luck'?
You say this like it's the same squad of players.This is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous takes I've seen yet.
