Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it must be something bad to be stretchered off with an oxygen mask on. Hope I'm just exaggerating.

Capoue being majorly over rated on here. He does nothing going forward. Might as well be playing 5 Defenders. You could see we were a better side when Sandro came on for him. He is good back up but he can't be starting every week if we wanna challenge.

Luckily we have Sandro back now. Capoue has looked good so far, but Sandro came in today and made several outstanding tackles to set off our attacks. Capoue struggled a little under pressure from cazorla too. He's not as good as sandro yet IMO but he can still improve...

He's a defensive midflieder. If he ventured forward you'd probably be saying he's a liability and doesn't do his job. He's much more comfortable on the ball than Sandro is.

That could just have been the shock though.

Things sound a bit more positive if that L'Equipe article is right.(y)

Absolute horseshit.

His role was to shield the back four for a start.

He still managed to play many incisive forward passes. Was always looking to make a forward pass.

Totally. I initially thought it was an ankle injury, so when I heard about fractures to bones I was surprised. If it's just brusing he should be back quite soon.

What a fat **** Cazorla is.

You must feel awful as a footballer when things like today happen - I mean, it was a complete freak thing, just unfortunate, but I bet poor Cazorla feels guilty anyway.

Agreed, his passing is normally very efficient and he is always available to take the ball off of the back four and start moves. A little bit sloppy with some of his passes today but he didn't have a lot of movement ahead of him, and was probably knackered considering he had little help from Dembele and Paulinho.

Agreed, it was a pure accident. The chubby Spaniard did nothing wrong apart from sign for them in the first place.

Ah but how do we challenge when Sandro gets injured after having to play every game?

We'll have to scrabble around with Paul and "clearly carrying that fucking hip problem" Moose.

Goddamn hips! Getting problems n shit. :mad:

Mercifully we have cover and even, if shit hits the fans again, Verts to come in and play DM if needs be. Can Churches also not play in midfield?
