Luiz used to be exposed when playing as the single holding midfielder under Smith due to his lack of mobility maybe mobility isn’t the right word he just isn’t quite as robust as Ramsey , Mcginn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season he came back he didn't look great, but the season after that one was when he fulfilled all his promise, looked quick and dynamic and pretty great. It might just be a protracted process but there's no reason he can't come back just as good. But yeah it'll take some time. It's probably a case-by-case basis and the severity of it too differs for everyone. The mental side of that injury is just as huge as the recovery period is so long and then you are worried about it and whether it can happen again whereas previously you just play without thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No forfeit...maybe a donation to VT... but I'm sure it will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Villatillidie95 Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 The good thing is we have our great contingent of south american lads who will make sure he is looked after and attends BBQ's and social gatherings outside of training, as will the rest of our team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s frustrating but I’m not too concerned as I don’t think he’ll get into our best XI when our transfer business is concluded. It’s a real shame our squad is being decimated with injuries ahead of the new season though. Buendia has his uses, no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a player, regardless of how one judges his ability, isn't helpful for anyone. BUT. I was firmly of the opinion last season that he would very much be a bench option this season IF our transfer window went well. I believe we're still in for at least one other attacking option / wide player. With the emergence of Philogene, maybe this won't be the blow everybody thinks it is. We have Diaby, Bailey, Ramsey, McGinn and Philogene who can play wide and we're likely to add another two players to that crop. It's not the end of the world. It would be much more disastrous if this happened to Watkins, Martinez, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Torres, Mings or Konsa. IMO Massive smirk on your face typing this I bet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As gutting as it is to lose Buendia for the whole season he’s just one player. We will find a replacement of sorts before the window closes.

Wainy316 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This has just made me really anxious, paranoid and terrified of ACL injuries. What if Diaby is doing his in training right now? What about Watkins? Oh no Martinez might twist his funny making a save! Mings, don't make that tackle, don't do it Ty! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh!

Actually the definition of decimated is to reduce by 1 in 10 ... so arguably its worse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Attitude, aggression, energy, commitment, talent and a willingness to run himself into the ground for his team mates, his manager and all of us. He's the personification of a total team player all wrapped up in a small but dynamic package. He may not be the "best" player on the team sheet in any one position, but he's one of the most important. I'm gutted .... We will miss you for the next few months Emi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is for squad rotation I’ve not mentioned him playing every game, I’m just agreeing with other posters that we could easily see Tielemans, Kamara and Luis all play together in some games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it isn't one Emery would have naturally chosen. I know he's a god, and sees everything, but I don't see why it couldn't work playing all three of them at the same time, and Emery is definitely capable of making it work. Absolutely, and even before Buendia injury I thought that all 3 would play against Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I go on the Newcastle - Online fan forum quite regularly, and they were not looking forward to facing Buendia on Saturday. They have reacted to news of him not being available with relief. Their comments about his injury have been sympathetic which is a credit to them. Sometimes we need to listen to the fans of of other clubs to fully appreciate how much one of our more 'spiky' players adds to our overall performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
