Premier League 23/24: Gameweek 36 (May 3-6)

[Gooner Zig]

We will never have the same luck with injuries. Saka, Ødegaard, Saliba, Gabriel and Rice hardly missed any games. To have your 5 best players fit all season is a freak luck and we have to take advantage this season. This squad is not deep enough to survive the injuries our rivals had

All of those guys are historically durable players.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Pep will be around for a while I think. Where else is he going.

To PSG once City get demoted to League 2

Until they not. You can’t ignore how lucky we been with injuries

You're over egging the "luck with injuries" schtick mate.

You're over egging the "luck with injuries" schtick mate.

Fact is not schtick. Taking everything as attack and acting all defensive is just weird

Our injury record isn't purely down to "luck" as you seem to be implying.

What is it down to?

A loss for Sp**s today should rule them out of CL as it means Villa will need 2 points from 4 games - They are also playing before Sp**s today, so it could all be resolved today.

I hope Liverpool thrash them.

I imagine training methods, playing style, nutrition and monitoring play a role… Assembling a team of players with good injury histories also plays a big part. There’s a very strong autocorrelation when it comes to certain types of injuries.

For example it doesn’t surprise me that teams like Liverpool and Sp**s that prefer end to end chaotic games have more muscular injuries than the other teams.

Luck plays a part of course, but it’s not “just luck”.

Peak Klopp's Liverpool was quite durable. They hardly had injury to their first xi. Yeah they've become injury prone in recent years. It used to piss me off how the likes of Salah, vvd, Wijnadum, Firminio, Mane, etc used to play 60 games a season without a single knock

Ironically, it was their bench players that usually got injured.

I think some players are genetically predisposed to injuries while others are not.

Only time that XI played together was in the CL final funnily enough

You right some players are more durable than others. But there are also some injuries that’s just from bad tackle like bentacur injury from Marty Cash who did a number on him.

Brighton and Sp**s win( runs into bathroom for a wash) pls

You're a villa fan now?

 

[GDeep™]

You're a villa fan now?

No. Just want Sp**s to lose.

Yeah. But most injuries are non-impact ones.

Some players are quite prone to these. But some players are so prone to imapct injuries too due to the way they play like Wilshere.

Some are just bad luck like you said.

Felt like they were playing that xi every game. Of course salah got injured in the SF in 2019. But this is surprising. But tbf I think it was matip that was constantly injured.

 

[Rasmi]
