For those who wanted to know- ie me! We currently have the following officially on the injured list: K Naughton Ankle/Foot Injury 7th Oct 12 J Livermore Groin Strain no return date E Adebayor Hamstring Injury 7th Oct 12 B Assou-Ekotto Knee Injury 20th Oct 12 Y Kaboul Knee Injury Dec 12 I wonder if AVB will bring Naughton back in to LB. All this according to Physio room. Anyone feel free to comment.
If we can get Naughton/Adebayor back, it will add extra dimensions to our bench for Villa, but I would hold off on introducing them into match day team for a bit (don't change a team thats just won at Man U after all!!) Nothing on Parkers due date back?
I don't see Parker going straight back in either, who would you drop to accomodate, Sandro or Dembele?......answer...neither!
Its encouraging how we aren't really missing Parker tbh. Yeah, we probably could've done with him on saturday but we got by without. Last season he was absolutely crucial for us
Spurm - A year is a long time in football when you're the wrong side of 30, so I don't expect Parker to repeat his performances on a weekly basis as he did to be honest. I agree the throw your body in Parker of last year may well have got at Scholes and Rooney, but I'm contradicting my point in saying that. Last year was last year, a totally different team and style that is no more, its not a given Parker suits the new, time will tell.
Sorry missed Parker- due back 20th of this month. SC where do Physio room get their info if the Livermore injury is stated wrong?
