    When has the opposite been the case for us in the previous 10 seasons?

    The point is if Koscielny hadn't have fallen awkwardly he wouldn't have been injured

    He didn't even fall awkwardly, so that point isn't even correct either. And anyways, if he did, which he didn't, does not mean you have to get injured. You're just ignoring the fact that this keeps happening, which shows that it's not down to mere bad luck of falling badly (which he didn't), it's down to something else, bad training methods, and not properly looking after players. When you lose around 6 players in the space of 6 games due to injuries, most of them happening in-game, then you have no excuse of 'bad luck' and 'awkward falls'.

    There's not a training regime in the world which can be blamed for joint injuries IMO. Muscle injuries perhaps, but twisted ankles and knee ligament problems are almost always bad luck more than anything. Bournemouth have lost four players to ACL injuries this season I think which is obscenely unlucky. I doubt anyone is blaming training methods.

    We lost 2 players against Sheffield, Walcott-OXO

    We lost Ramsey against Munich a week before that

    We lost Coq and Arteta against West Brom last week

    We lost Kos today against Norwich

    That's 6 players we have lost in 4 games, when you see a pattern emerging, you can no longer say 'bad luck' or coincidence.

    Poor goal to concede. Gabriel has to do better there. Momentum shifted after that but 1-1 t halftime still favours us as we're very much a 2nd half team nowadays. Score early then kill off the game with another as the more this stays level the more it suits Norwich. We have options in Ox, or Campbell if we need to attack and Chambers and Debuchy for defence. A bit more urgency sees us win this.

    Majority of our injuries are of muscle injuries, Coq is the only one who had damaged ligaments which didn't require surgery.

    Then you may have a point, but it's quite unbelievable the club wouldn't have looked at all the possibilities to establish the cause. Given it tends to happen during matches, it seems more likely to be an inadequate warm-up.

    Well Wenger says they have, and he probably is trying to sort it out, but still it keeps happening, so something is most obviously wrong.

    So what excuse now? Our medical staff knew he had an injury risk, and we risked it, and it backfired. So who gets the blame? Nobody?

    Lol, as I said, we're a joke, it's a circus act.

    I'm standing by my poor warm-up theory. Do they tend to happen early in halves?
