Personally thought he was past it for PL when we signed him as had one good game in several seasons at Barca and Bayern and didn't think it was great idea and posted as such at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the game today though he got the best reception of any player when he was about to come on. The general mood of those around me in the Holte was also that he once again showed today what a quality player he still is and that it would be nice to see him have an injury free run as he still has plenty offer. He then unfortunately again got injured. I feel for him as he can't seem to catch a break in terms of injuries. I certainly wouldn't write him off though. I love seeing him play for us. Even though he’s on big wages and isn’t the player he once was, and your head says those wages would be better spent elsewhere, I just can’t help it. He’s still fun to watch and seems like a very likeable character too. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Quite crazy the physio's helped him hobble off the pitch. Then walked him the long way around, then have 2 more helpers come around to then still let him hobble all the way around the pitch. Talk about tormenting him. 4 blokes and between them couldn't lift little phil and piggyback him to the changing rooms. He's about 10stone wet through ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Watching the game back from recording - at the final whistle it is very noticeable that Dougie shoots straight down the tunnel - presumably to see how his mate Phil is? I dont think it can be over estimated how close these two are and possibly Phil is important to Dougie's well being too. Instagram shows that Dougie is often with Phil and his family - along with all our South Americans . Get well soon Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time our good doctor has done something that hasn't passed the eyeball test. There have been a few of them. What's his **** problem, anyway? He stretched Diego's Achilles as if he thought it was a calf cramp. Watch the video if you can find it. I'm convinced he made the injury worse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced he made the injury worse. Look. We've a whole team of physios and a club doctor, and there will be hospital experts known to the club. Iim pretty sure if someone was doing something they shouldn't then at least one of those qualified people would be asking questions and flagging it up. I'm sure the hospital experts will be asking why the **** so and so was stretching someone's leg making the injury worse. I'm sure twitter would be awash with doctors and physios watching games on telly questioning what the hell our team are up to. I've heard non of that noise anywhere. I mean the Premier league is under the bloody microscope like nothing else. Probably tens of thousands of medical professionals watching at home. It's just nonsense. They can only react to the information fed back by the player. If the symptoms described after their checks suggest one thing then every club doctor and physio in the PL are going to come to the same conclusion.

De Bruyne walked off with relative ease after another hammy the other week and he's out for months apparently. But if the docs reckon only a few weeks then so be it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezzaleed Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 looked like he hyper extended his knee which I don't think is long but if its a hamstring that's also relatively mild compared to the last couple of weeks injuries fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Nice bit of a cameo I guess, but no suprise to see him injured again either. However, I thought it would be after a couple of games/sub apparances he would fall injured and I didn't expect he would only last 20 minutes or so before disaster struck. I'll say this nicely yet again. He is finished at this level (unfortunately) but many of us have been stating this for months anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having now seen the replay looks like he's got a knee in the back of his leg so perhaps just a very sore bruised hamstring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he got a knee - but it also looked a lot like Ming's injury. No, not a bung knee - but the injury coming from landing awkwardly because of the contact.

Wezbid Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Even if it's not serious in terms of months out, more weeks, just use a stretcher as to not put any unnecessary strain on a player that is obviously going to be subbed. You've obviously got to be really smart to be a doctor but sometimes common sense seems to evade the smartest of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be walking around fine. He's not broken a leg like. The doctors and physios know what they're doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
