Lmao. I remember Kompany being furious in the 22/23 season because he had a few players out who got injured because they landed funny on the pitch-side astroturf some stadiums have. It’s probably some mechanical reason for why players are landing funny and doing their ACL recently. Boots, pitch etc.
I think game is being played with a lot of change of directions than it was used to be, less fouls, more speed in gameplay results more sprints to left, stop and sprint to right that loads pressure to joints, it is very similar to basketball after they removed hand-checking rule, they had their share of ACL too.
He stayed down after their player took him out and the physios came on. It was the main reason there was so much added time. He eventually got up and came back on after we’d taken the free kick and even made an effort to chase a pass but was obviously limping so asked to come off about three minutes later.
Well to start a conspiracy... Maybe millar and belloumi had grade 1 acl tear that fully ruptured after trying to play on
Did he, I thought the first time he indicated he wanted to be subbed but then changed his mind and told the beach he was ok... Then went down a few mins later and they came on.
My mistake then, I could of sworn he went down, indicated he wanted to be subbed, but then indicated he was ok and carried on for a few mins before going down again
Bit longer than three minutes, more like ten. Despite hobbling around he still managed to get onto a pass and hit a shot past the far post. At the time I was surprised he stayed on, he was very obviously struggling.
Cool, a combined £7m down the ****pan. Don’t bother reinforcing with loads of money in January. Save the money for Summer unless we can get cheap but quality loans somehow.
If we go down, we go down. But I don’t want us chucking a load more money at what’s shaping up to be a wasted season already.
