    To be fair mate his history suggests he can't keep match fit. That couple of months stretch last season seems to be a rare isolated stretch of fitness in an otherwise injury plagued career. I think you've got a point about the Ice chambers working for him as that spell is the only time that's worked for him injury wise, the range of his injuries he's had are bizarre too, so many different types.

    Don't let him train and put him in the freezer after every game seems the only way. <laugh>

    It sounds great though if you read the sales pitch doesn't it, I doubt it's a hard sell to managers looking to use all the cutting edge tech and get every advantage possible.

    So it doesn't help with injuries but it might help keep players in shape when they're playing a lot of games.

    I think with medical equipment used by athletes people should be paying attention to empirical objective evidence rather than advertising, or good marketing.

    Everybody puts an ice pack or frozen peas on their sore knee, because it's a painkiller, the inflammation is going to hurt, so I have no issues with the principal of it, but do the peas help the recovery? No. They ease the pain.

    Using it for easing pain, perhaps it's worth it, until somebody goes in with ligament damage or muscle tears that they haven't felt due to adrenaline, then you might have a problem 6 months down the line because that muscle never healed naturally/properly.

    Maybe they don't use them directly after matches? If so then great, it gives you ample opportunity to asses any injuries to the squad first.

    Bad news. He is out for 10 weeks with a knee injury. Season practically over by then. I am f@@@ing sick on this seasons injury record.

    Yacob looks like he gets Vic's standing leg as Vic winds up to shoot, Yacob then wins the ball and blasts it straight into Denayer's wedding tackle from 2 feet away.

    Those are exactly the incidents and follow up. He also has time and space to pass the ball anywhere but chose to belt it into Deneyer's knackers.

    he has a starring role as one of the lead zombies, having said that i heard O'Shea is due a medical, if he cant increase his speed to 1mph he will be classed as dead, or as quick as pops.
