Sterling and carney, injured, barley played, but injured, something's seriously wrong,

It’s got to be pochs training methods carney didn’t even play against arsenal.

Barnet, why has it “got to be” the training methods of Poch?

Newcastle have had a similar amount of injuries guess it must be Howe’s training methods then? What about Utd and Liverpool? Both have had a fairly high amount of injuries this season, guess that’s also down to Klopp and Ten Hag’s training methods too no?
None of us know whether our injuries have been impact or muscular injuries etc, so not sure how the blame is laid at Poch’s training methods. It’s the medical department which says when players are allowed to return to training and what level of training they should be doing. They also advise if players workloads are too high etc. Unless Poch is ignoring their advice and having crocked players run 10km/ day before they’re fully healed I’m not sure how it’s down to him.

Players these days are just extremely brittle, didn’t see this with John Terry as skipper. You notice how Gallagher and players like Alfie Gilchrist will rarely get an injury, made of sterner stuff.

Fuser
The players workloads will be high due to the fact they are carrying half the squad who are on the sick list every game this season.
There is something badly wrong at our club at the moment.

Poch is well known for doing the gacon test. It’s an awful lot of running and the youngsters of today aren’t like the old. I read somewhere they didn’t like his training methods at psg.

Bill, you could be correct that a lack of availability and there player rotation could have had an effect on some players but the problem is it’s been a lot of the same players from the start of the season. So it’s hard to imagine it’s to many games.
Barnet, I have a theory that it’s a lack of fitness in the sense that Jose and other would have daily full on games that were reportedly harder than actual games. This is only my theory because I’m not a football trainer or medical person.

I agree Bill, my point was that it’s not down to Poch. I doubt he’d going against the medical departments advice.
27 Apr 2024 17:24:33
Fuser totally agree, it's not Poch's fault.
Somebody though does need to take responsibility for the dreadful injury record this season.
27 Apr 2024 21:10:55
My guess is it’s not a single person’s fault.
28 Apr 2024 21:13:13
Probably those married people.

God knows what that means!
