In terms of match fitness he had fuck all, was it worth it
Bobb came back after 5 months with a leg fracture not as serious as a ACL injury in terms of recovery , suffered a set back and is struggling as we speak to get up to speed
Ake suffered repeated injuries
Last season was very bad in terms of injuries. Our physios were inundated. Current form of our back room staff would suggest our players are weak, our fitness isn't the best or we are not managing recoveries well enough. We have a big squad, we have decent fit young players with good engines yet we tend to favour certain players?
ACLs were killer injuries years ago , they finished players. Granted, advances have been made but they are the one that no player wants
Shearer had 3 decent years at Blackburn but further injuries meant that he could repeat his performances over a season as he had done. His final injury finished his career. A great player but plagued by knee and ankle injuries, certainly a a tough bastard
I think its a fair shout to question the handling of Rodri's return to the pitch. Hoping he comes back as strong as ever in September/October? but i'm not putting serious money on it

I'd say Shearer did repeat his performances over a season after his 3 decent years at Blackburn seeing as how he's Newcastle's all time leading scorer.

You'd be wrong. Scored 34, 37 and 37 at Blackburn . His best season at Newcastle was 30 and a couple of 28s. Scored 0.76 GOALS PER GAME AT BLACKBURN, 0.5 GOALS PER GAME AT NEWCASTLE. His scoring rate dropped off by 30% His glory years were at Rovers . Missed too many games through injury at Newcastle

Played with better players at Blackburn, still scored over 200 goals for Newcastle in 10 years. Unbelievable achievement

Yep he was a great forward. Blackburn had a great team at the time, but Newcastle were no slouches. Still doesnt change his scoring record and that it wasnt as prolific at Newcastle. His goal record is assisted by longevity. Aguero was pound for pound much better than Shearer, loved watching him play but he suffered niggling knee injuries. Once he got one knock the others seem to follow quite regularly. Perhaps Pep shouldn't have asked him to defend ?
