    My honest reaction was to start laughing out loud as I read that. Is an arsenal and a chelsea fan co-authoring my life story?

    so the (non attacking) cm options are limited to gray and palhinha until they join the others? when’s sarr back?

  3. DerekStephano on

    What the fuck happened to Deki? Went from being nothing too serious to almost missing 12 months at this point. Solanke was the same and he’s been out for half the season. Maddison and Dragusin seem like the only ones who are having a normal recovery.

  4. We could actually go down. The next few prem games West Ham & Burnley are must win. Our games after those two are tough. We are in big trouble

    3rd season in a row with a major injury crisis, and at the same point in each season. Actual negligence to leave the squad short like this every year.

  6. 3-4 weeks before we even know if Deki can train on grass is bleak man. So optimistically even if he is ready for that, it’ll be another few weeks before he’s fit enough to make the bench, let alone start.

    I know injuries don’t follow strict timelines and doctors generally have to make educated guesses at timelines, but god damn I have a hard time believing this is the best possible sports medical staff we can buy…

  7. Jesus Christ. Forget for a second about quality of performances, Kudus and Bentancur have played nearly all our minutes this season. Missing those two (especially Kudus) for a significant amount of time is going to really fuck us.

    Bissouma has been banished to laughing gas la la land, Sarr is at Afcon too, Bergvall fucked his hamstring.

    Archie Gray, you’re our only hope.

    Don’t get me started on Deki. Had a shot 10 days ago, we’ll see if we can wheel him out onto grass in a month!?!??! WTFFFF

  8. I am not usually one of those “Spend some fackin money Levy” types, but seriously ENIC needs to just pull out the credit card and go shopping. We are playing like shit and half our would-be starters are injured. If not now, when exactly?

  9. Like are the physios just really really bad or what is the problem at this point? So many players getting injured all the fucking time

    Kulusevski is done for the season tbh.

    There’s absolutely no way we are seeing him.

  11. Haha wow, what a mess, I’m mentally checking out of the season once we get knocked out of the FA cup on Saturday, it’ll all mean nothing

  12. spursgonesouth on

    Wow. Maybe we really will see if Frank would have done any better than Ange with the injury crisis.

    This season is in freefall.

  13. Why do we buy players who are never injured and then lose them for entire seasons to injuries? Is it our medical staff? Or our coaching? It’s been like this for years.

  14. We’re in big trouble now.

    How many fit CMs do we have? Palhinha and Gray to play double pivot for several months? Bloody hell.

    No starting RW, 2 fullbacks, barely any midfielders left… we need 3 or 4 signings in January.

    EDIT: Forgot Sarr will be back later as Senegal will probably win the AFCON. Also forgot Bergvall done his hammy too…

  15. Almost a year after the initial injury, Deki still has pain and is receiving a new injection. His career is over, right?

  16. Bervall looked bad too. He thought he was going to be out for a long time with that reaction.
