This month is going to be brutal for our attackers. No rest whatsoever
About 10 years ago, I caught a virus that lead to me turning yellow and pissing blood.When you start talking viruses, it doesn't take much at all to upset the balance of heart, lungs, and even kidneys. Shows the resilience of the human body that it doesn't happen more often to many others
Speedy recovery Mikey!
IMO we may have to consider Kulusevski as more of a winger than we’d like during this period. To at least have Johnson/Kulusevski rotating on the right and Son/Werner on the left. Going to need to use Gray and Bergvall in midfield too. Thinking about it you realise how light we look there too, when you consider Bentancur being out but also how Gray and Bergvall aren’t really what you’d call ready there either. But hey, we all knew we needed a few more ready to go players in the squad!This month is going to be brutal for our attackers. No rest whatsoever
Yep, left short once again. It's so damn ridiculous this keeps happeningIMO we may have to consider Kulusevski as more of a winger than we’d like during this period.

You can’t be stacked to the point that this sort of thing never impacts you.Yep, left short once again. It's so damn ridiculous this keeps happening

Watching Liverpool last night without Trent and Konate . Gomez at centre back , Quansah at right back. First half all,over the place. Got Trent on at half time. Then the reserve kpr made a complete arse of a cross and cost them the points. It’s only really City who have had a squad where you can make 6 changes and not much drop off.You can’t be stacked to the point that this sort of thing never impacts you.
Solanke, Richarlison, Moore, Odobert, Van de Ven, Romero, and Vicario is an injury crisis that you will never have the depth to not be impacted by. Look at City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Utd, etc. if that sort of crisis happens it hits you.
it’s impressive we can still field Werner, Son and Brennan even when this happens and have Deki for cover.
Luck of the draw as well. The team that struggled at home to Fulham wouldn't have done much away to a Newcastle or City either.Watching Liverpool last night without Trent and Konate .

City lose rodri, and there is a massive drop off though.Watching Liverpool last night without Trent and Konate . Gomez at centre back , Quansah at right back. First half all,over the place.

Kovacic was a decent deputy. Didn’t bother them in the early games, but has done now because Kovacic is also injured . 45m Philips been a disaster ,could have played now but is at Ipswich .City lose rodri, and there is a massive drop off though.
It might have been two years ago but it's not even true of City any more either.Watching Liverpool last night without Trent and Konate . Gomez at centre back , Quansah at right back.

Not much training between games these days. At least I hope not.I would think the main issue is that the injuries build up as a knock on effect. The more players get injured then the more others are over playing. Losing Moore is in addition to losing Richarlison and Odobert. So Son and Johnson don't rest much now and are more at risk of injury. Why are we suffering so much? Are others rotating more often than we do? If you rest those key players more it gives a better chance. Then again VdV and Romero get rested in Europe and still injured. So is it something to do with our recovery sessions and intensity of training between games or the pre game warm up I wonder.
But yet so so predictable yet is always the managers fault that we don’t win things when ALL of our managers are ALWAYS left short under Levy/ENIC.Yep, left short once again. It's so damn ridiculous this keeps happening
Such a shame for the kid as he would have got loads of football in this runAnge getting pissed off with questions about Mikey. 17 yr old boy and doesn’t like discussing his health. Should be back by the turn of the year. Might need to play under 21 till he gets his fitness back
Would be my assumption too. Very difficult to predict a return date because there is such a variation in recovery times if that is the diagnosis.I’ve not heard but I assume he has glandular fever?
I had that as a teen, wiped me out for the best part of a year. No appetite, no energy. Was told no contact sports for a year too, as the spleen can swell and if it’s knocked can be very dangerous. If he has it, I feel for him, it’s really not a nice thing to have.Would be my assumption too.
