Injuries

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Couldn't find a topic on this one.

 

There has been alot of 'noise' in the media (mostly social) about injury records of City and Liverpool. 

 

Since the start of the season to today (City 22 games, Liverpool 21 games) - we've had 10 players injured missing a combined 72 games compared to City having 8 players injured missing a combined 62 games.

City point to Laporte and Sane - and granted - they are big ones. After that, no player has missed more than 5 games.

 

We have Clyne out for 22 games*, Alisson out for 7, Lovren 8, Matip 12, Fabinho 8, Keita 6

 

(*Before his injury, he was our first choice right back and was playing for England. If it was not for his injuries - the purpose of this analysis - he would certainly be providing healthy competition for our lads and giving them the odd break. So whilst we have discounted him alot. If it were not for his injuries, he would be 1st choice back up at right and left back)

We’ve won 21/22.

Imagine if we’d had no injuries at all and were doing just as well as we are.

Would you feel it diminished our achievement in any way?

More a case of disgust that we’ve dropped points

 

Klopp out!

 

Btw there’s no dig implied at Rory

Keep up the good work fella!

Exactly

 

Lots of whining and attempts of rival fans to diminish what is happening this season

 

VAR/ injuries / not as good as Utd 99 or 08 or blah blah blah

 

They’ve chucked in the towel on their teams competing and switched to all this bulls***

Don’t think we should count Clyne in our figures or Sane in City’s. Both players would almost certainly have been sold in the summer window if they hadn’t got injured

Another fair way of looking at it.
