WooJung Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Typical, he's been one of our best players in the last few games and of course he gets injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be in contention for Europa final if we make it as going by last season that's 10 days after the final league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Unsurprisingly, we lost all control of the midfield when he went off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Most worryingly is he seems to need a couple games to get back to speed, we only have 3 league games and hopefully 3 Cup games left. If he's out for 2 weeks, that's 4 of these games gone. Hopefully he just got a kick in the bollocks and a bit of deep heat will sort it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Big loss if he's out, he's been very good recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His injury was the turning point. He’s been visible fantastic recently but the quality of someone like him is the things he’s doing off the ball to kill space. Massive turning point in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Losing Emi and Youri hurt us yesterday. We just need to hope we can get them back ASAP. Given the start he had here Youri's gone on to be a very important player for us this season and been a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Not great no matter the severity. Probably why he was so angry. Potentially missing a cup final after so many pivotal wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no stage in that game did we have control of midfield. We may have competed a little better when Youri was on, but Chelsea’s midfield pretty much ran the show for the majority of the match. Injuries and lack of squad depth are costing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having Tim rather than Diaby might’ve helped more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we didn't have control of the midfield however, we stopped Chelsea taking control of it with Youri in there. When Diaby came on we gave them full control imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a pity if after such a good season, our lack of options costs us right at the death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's at the worst end of a groin/abductor injury (i.e. 6 weeks), he'll be ready for the tournament even if he's not quite match fit from the start. Obviously though I hope he's back for us to play some part in our last few games, otherwise we have McGinn and Luiz as our only senior central midfielders which is really cr*p luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
