Kirchoff- injured during the Wba game(Hes an injury waiting to happen anyway).
Borini- injured during Southampton game
Kone- injured on international duty
Denayer- injured on international duty
Catts- Long term back injury
Januzaj- injured against Palace.

Moan at Moyes all you want but nobody can say our injuries arent due to bad luck.

Very true Tees, but, these players have been available at sometime this season and I'm pretty sure played in the same team at some time...yet still we will be 8 games into the season and still no wins. Moyes is a decent manager...just not a street fighter like Sam..thats what we need at this club.
 
There's no such thing as bad luck, whether they get injured during a game or in training, it could be down to too much training, too little training or just plain wrong training.

Course theres such thing as bad luck. Look at Bournemouths injuries last year!
Everyone of our players injuries are different.
I know your pissed off but your just looking for reasons to have a dig at Moyes now!

Yes I agree. Im not particullary a Moyes fan either, but saying our players are getting injured because of how they are getting trained is unfounded. Like ive already stated most of our injuries have occured during game time.

Sorry Tees, I don't accept that if we still had Allardyce in charge and he'd had to pick the same players each match that we'd have this many injuries. Allardyce is known for using all the cleverest and most hi-tech techniques to help players stay fit, maybe Moyes has chucked most of that out the window.

Ok mate, we both have a different opinion:emoticon-0148-yes:.

Bottle! Twice I've seen 50/50 balls where our full backs have bottled it!

Everyone knows how optimistic I am but I just can't be.

Pickford- Another good game
Khazri- Played well, worked tirelessly and looked the only player capable of creating anything
Watmore- Turned the predictably poor Bardsley inside out, fizzled out after Bardo went off.
Defoe- Poor lad must be starving.

Everybody else may as well not have been there and comes out of it without any credibility what so ever. The defence and midfield were totally inadequate both with and without possession.

Mate it was Sam's preseason not Moyes'.
 
Harry took us over when we had 2 points from 8 games back in 2008...took us up to 8th that season and 4th the next.
You team look poor as a unit and Moves looks shot to pieces...it's like he has never recovered from his stint at Man Utd. Real shame cos he has always seemed like a decent man who knew his football.

**** squad, starved of investment and ravaged by injury. Moyes has an impossible job.
 
I mentioned at the time when a few people were lauding over Big Sam's fitness procedure, that the cryo-chambers Sam Allardyce is such a fan of, do not allow for natural recovery, this could be playing a big part in players like Borini and Cattermole not being fit this season, there's no substitute for natural recovery no matter how advanced the technology gets, recovery relies on rest and nutrition.

It obviously doesn't mean you'll never get injuries if you naturally recover but aside from your new signings, I'd probably be looking at this terrible technique for an explanation.

Can't agree with any if that... Well... Except all of it!

Spot on bri. Khazri had a good game and Pickford is just impressing me more every game.

Even N'Dong was poor today.

As I say. So difficult to find anything To be optimistic about. Although I suppose maybe we might get a player back!

Hard to find any positives now, we have to stick with Moyes down to the Championship and hope he can build a squad good enough to deserve that shirt, too many now are not deserving
