Not really, fans guessing players need a rest, and qualified physios saying it, are vastly different things.
First of all, given our injury track record and constantly rushing players like Kane back, I wouldn’t talk about physios. Remember, physios are employed by the team, not the player. Although to be fair to them it’s not their ultimate decision to play the players in the end.

Second of all, you think Kane and Dele have had their feet up for two months lol. Qualified physio?

Yep, players play injured all the time. This season we’ve had of two players already come out and say it (Eriksen and Davies). So there will be others. Footballers are rarely 100% fit and obviously that’s exacerbated the more games they play. If people can’t see that then I don’t know what else to say.

The players aren’t robots. I mean, it’s not like the manager hasn’t mentioned it numerous times this season is it, when he’s talked about perception and reality?

Nope, I literally haven’t got a clue about the conditioning of individual players, like every fan on here...the difference being I’m just happy to admit that fact.

They just came back from injuries so not sure about that, I don't subscribe that all players need resting or a rest period particularly when they're in need of minutes to regain match sharpness, everyone is different.

No issues with our players playing this international break. They will have had a 10 day break or more. A game or 2 warm up for Liverpool perfect.

Can't do quickly I'm afraid how about two weeks or so? A couple of weeks ago Chelsea had three games in hand and people on here thought they could win them all and overtake us, just goes to show there's still a way to go yet and pretty much anything can happen.

100 percent buddy. I just personally see it as 2 from United arse and us. Of course can't rule out Chelsea just yet.

Am I alone in thinking that our recent problems are to do with whats going on in there heads .
For instance against Saints in the first half you would have thought it was a case of how many we would score.
The second half we just went missing obviously I am no psychiatrist but it seems to be a mental thing that maybe Poch can sort out before our run of difficult games lets hope so.

Robinson withdraws for Liverpool as he’s got a dentists appointment. He couldn’t obviously have it on a weekend Liverpool were playing. Shaquiri also out for Liverpool - groin injury.

I wonder if they too will be in liverpool’s Match day 18 next time they play. Oh yeah, that’s against us. ?

Wish we did this

Poch has spoken before about wanting his players playing. Sure it was in reply to Kane coming on as a sub in done and dusted games.
Players are so closely monitor now. Increased Fatigue levels that directly link to muscle injuries will be clear.

I do agree with you though. I want Dele and Kane fully fit and rested for a massive game!

I fucking love our players playing for England and not bottling out of call ups with bullshit injuries.

Sickens me that so many don't want to play for their country in qualifiers, but happily will for a tournament. I'm proud we have Harry Kane, who takes immense pride in representing his country whatever the game.

England have achance of lifting there 1st major silverware this summer in nations league. And trust me the media and country will make this out like it’s the World Cup. This is the last get together before the Nations league semi. Any players pulling out now are only jeopardising their owns chances of being involved.

So you're saying that if Harry pulls out of these games through a small injury Southgate will leave him out of the following games:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
