Injuries have always been part and parcel of the game and always will be.
However, I'm absolutely convinced modern boots lead to more injuries than older style boots. They are like slippers in comparison and have little protection in tackles. As an analogy you wouldn't wear slip on shoes on a building site, you'd wear proper boots in case bricks or other building materials fell on your feet.

Some of the long term injuries though would surely come down to overplaying. Aguero, KDB, Rodri etc were playing 50-60 games a season then going on to internationals after and in between the season. Success plays a part.

Back in the 80s, those leather boots we all wore gave us solid protection when you took a proper whack on the foot—thicker material meant it could absorb a decent hit. But fast forward to later years and the tech in today's designs, with all the fancy cushioning and lightweight builds, gives way better overall protection. You're less likely to pick up niggling injuries, apparently !!, and they’re made to keep you quick and stable.
I think players have far more injuries in other areas than in their feet,,thigh muscles, knees etc

We have just seen an unprecedented period of success. You've already stated that our medical team have been there throughout? Stop looking for problems that aren't there. Some of our shithouses who seem to cry off at the slightest knock need to take a fucking look at themselves.

The manager has ZERO fucking excuses this season and if we lose tomorrow he can pack up and fuck off.
