Mitoma isn’t the only winger in the team - yes it’s a significant key loss but we have managed without him before - he’s missed 11 games due to injury already this season and was out for the international duty.
Let’s see how RDZ shapes up the team without him heh?
I’m not underestimating...
Correlation is not the same as causation - see my earlier post - there are 8 teams on more injuries than us at the moment ( key players too) and 3 with also 6 out …it has been a tough season for everyone - a shorter summer break - the 2022/23 campaign was tough because of Qatar and concluded on...
Agree - Facu was lambasted by many NSC fans when he started - debuted within a 2 or 3 weeks of arriving so of course he didn’t look at home initially - it took him a long time to settle in but his talent and potential to be an important CAM for us was never in doubt imo from the moment he...
But it is not the responsibility of RDZ to assess players for match fitness whether there was a prior concern or not, it is the medical team (which was the point I was initially responding to in #355- calling RDZ ‘sadistic’ or requiring psychological treatment for allowing Mitoma to (continue...
No it is not - It is the pitch side physio/medics responsibility - Don’t you watch football at all? When did you last see a manager rushing onto a pitch with a stretcher or medical bag when a player goes down?
As I said above, muscular/ligament back injuries very often don’t hurt until hours...
Sorry but this is utter psychobabble. Not only are you being ‘too dramatic’ but seem to have a very warped view of how the fitness level of top flight footballers are managed. It is not the manager of a club that decides whether players are physically fit enough to play but a whole medical...
Bad news but not necessarily season defining. The team was deep enough to cope well with Europe/Cup games and ELP - you only had to look at the degree of rotation in 2023 that got us through the group and had us around 6/7th in December. We managed without wingers for several months but it...
Hinshelwood and Facu unable to go 90’
Welbeck unable to go 90’
Moder unable to go 90’
Ivor still bedding in
Adingra still bedding in
Dahoud still bedding in
Apart from that - We’re in great shape 😂
