Also, wish these knobheads and the club would have saved their back patting PR bollocks for a few weeks from now
In the last three weeks almost the entirety of our spine have picked up injuries (VVD, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah) plus Firmino being out longer than expected and Allison having a lucky escape during the FA cup (saw the physios do the ligament tests on him).
Not to give them a let off but the last couple of months especially have been next to impossible to stave off fatigue and injury.
Fixtures every 3/4 days on average, champions league semis, cup final that went to pens. Considering all that, our injuries could've been much much worse. How many players do we have that have picked up little muscle injuries during times like these in the past and been out for weeks, not just a game or two?
All in all, I think we've done very well, and bodes well for next season when we'll have 5 subs in the league to further cushion the squad. Thats the annoying thing for me, Real have had a couple of weeks since they wrapped up the league plus they've had 5 subs all season, which has been a season long advantage for them. Another case of the premier league fucking over their own teams in european competitions.
