that doesn't make him infallibleIt’s absolutely ridiculous that people are doubting Poch’s judgement on this. The guy has been involved in football for about 40 years of his life ffs
Man U got more injuries than us last year but I haven't seen anyone blaming Mourinho or Ole for it. Injuries happen mate, it's a part of the game and a huge reason why these days a 25 man squad is required.

That may be the case but it doesn’t mean he can’t be wrong, doubted or criticisedHe’s making decisions based on much more experience and information than any of us though.
Don't compare us to Utd under Ferguson.. It's such a massive difference in terms of what the clubs could/can offer.
A lot of the people on this site remind me of the sky / BT / MOD /pundits in that they know the reason every goal could be stopped and every way and reason a team could play better . these pundits have practically one of two things in common in that they are either failed managers sometimes many times over or they did not have the balls to go into management .
To paraphrase a saying " those that can do and those that can't go into punditry ".
You can't really call souness a failed football manager. Certainly not mourinho.

Definitely not - he won trophies managing three clubs (Souness).You can't really call souness a failed football manager. Certainly not mourinho.
Surely there comes a point when you have to question the training methods? Are they training TOO hard and it's why they get knackered quickly in matches? Always injured. It's not just some, it's pretty much the whole team last year spent time out with injuries.
But it wasn't just last year though was it. This is a problem we've had for a few years now. Other big teams also play many games and internationals. Is Poch training them too hard? Possibly. You're implying that's not the case or that it's a narrative. How do you know that he isn't training them too hard?? He may not be. We may just be the unluckiest team in the world. But something seems to be amiss with our fitness.This was due to no summer break/World Cup wasn’t it?? I thought that had been accepted as the cause of our burnout and injury record last season...?
Unless of course you are just trying to rearrange that into a ‘Poch is training them too hard’ excuse to be able to complain about...

Liverpool and City hardly ever get injuries to key players. Maybe one at a time, maybe. This has been a problem for many years. I know the other big teams get injuries, that's sport. But more often than not, they are to fringe players, not an entire first team. Our players have looked knackered, not just last year, but for about 2-3 years now, minus the odd game (or one half of a game!). We used to be the fittest team in the Prem, maybe there's a price to pay for methods used... By the way, I don't know the methods! Just from what we hear from players of how tough it is.Other big teams get injuries as well, not just us.
Last season aside which was a complete anomaly we've probably been about par on the injury front with everyone else.
