What the hell are they on about?
It seems like our players are non stop injured. Looks like they fucking up big time and are the cause of this fiasco. KDB out, rushed in again?

Just took a quick look at Mendy, who I was certain is injury prone: https://www.transfermarkt.com/benjamin- ... rainer_id=

Surprise, surprise.

Well, he is not, played around 33-34 games per/season in France since he came in the headlights, almost no injuries noted. Now he came here and played 20 games in 1.5 years.

So, the obvious, what the fuck are they doing?

Didn’t one of the main physio staff leave a few weeks ago to go to Liverpool? We do seem to be picking up a lot more injuries and strains than last season.

Is this a wind up Mase, not the bit about Dave, that's irrelevant, the bit about not being arsed about our talisman from last season being injured.

Bad luck, actually terrible luck? Over-training? Nutrition? Attitude...? Take your pick, either way it could destroy the season.

Sterling isn't injured mate.

Sterling finished what DeBruyne created.

Those screamers in the last min were created by Kev? Sterling did all the work himself.

So it really isn't a windup, gobsmacked is an understatement.

A bit odd to link injuries to the staff involved with keeping players fit.

KdB gets knee injuries because of opposition players and somehow the fitness team are to blame?

Ditto Mendy , does his knee in.

As I said above, I was 100 % certain he was injury prone and we fucked up, but he is not, well, was. At Marseille and Monaco had no problems with his fitness, well, at least not the ones he has here.

I remember this: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/20 ... rn-doctor/
If anyone recalls the scandal around this at the time.
