People can trot out this competition nonsense for every player but we don't have the revenue or likely FFP room to address and must look at Iroegbunam as competition for Kamara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s competition that’s needed to push a player then you’re talking about lazy entitled players who become content with doing the bare minimum and not pushing themselves. That’s not really a player you’d want on the squad. Edited February 12 by Aston_Villan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a club had as many ACL injuries in one season as us?.Jeez we can't catch a break! Let's hope it's not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I doubt it’s too serious. He looked in discomfort rather than pain. Hopefully he’ll be ok for next weekend or very soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked off the pitch and at time i thought was a quick sub as we were chasing the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) ACL can be a weird injury in that, there can be cases where it doesn’t really hurt and you think everything is ok. Okore when he did his, carried on playing Edited February 12 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Yeah don't think walking off means much. Can still be out for a long time. To lose both konsa and kamara would be devastating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich192 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Trezeguet walked off the pitch when he did his ACL, so that doesn’t mean he’s fine. It would be quite ludicrous if it is his ACL. Typical luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 12 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12 The pictures do look concerning. Would be another massive blow if he's out long term. ViLlA hAvE bEeN lUcKy WiTh InJuRiEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_82 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Its going to be an ACL isnt it Thought he played well yesterday, Mcginn doesn't look as comfortable in centre mid either so not sure what plan would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich192 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Tielemans will come in and they’ll shuffle the pack, I’d imagine, with McGinn playing centrally with Douglas. Or Unai will sense a time to give a new formation a go and go 4-3-3 with Diaby and Bailey out wide. I suspect it will be the former, though.

He's crucial to the way we play. Massive loss if he's out for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) 14 hours ago, Deano & Dalian's Umbrella said: From the position his knee went in, it could be MCL (like Konsa) or ACL (like Buendia). I've just had a chance to look at the sky sports footage and would now rule out MCL as he was rubbing everywhere on his knee apart from where the MCL is (the inner aspect of the knee). This would also suggest something deep inside the knee which you can't actually get to, i.e. the ACL. Although the position he went into is the classic mechanism of ACL injury, I do remember Conor Hourihane's knee going into the exact same postion a few years ago and me being 100% convinced he must have done his ACL from the TV footage and then he played the next game, so I'm hoping I'm wrong again.

WallisFrizz Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I guess we’re going to see what Tim is made of. Even if not starting I think we’ll see a lot of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think the system work without Kamara, McGinn and Tielemams just don’t do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
