Ok so we are all pissed off and we are now leaking goals like never before. But why is that ? we have always been heralded as a well organised team and difficult to beat so what has changed? We have had Roy and Ray in charge for the last 4 years so no change there. The change that I can see is the quality of the players on the field . We have 9 players out at the moment which is probably why the results are poor.. I would be willing to bet the result today would not have happened had we had available for selection a fit Tomkins,Zaha,McArthur,Schlupp,Sakho,MaCarthy.
Liverpool are collapsing with only 4 injuries and they possess higher quality players than ours. Injuries to players have a significant impact on results and we are no different.COYP

Attitude the problem not the injuries

Are you sure it is not the attitude of the players playing today as compared to the players playing when we had a fully fit squad. After all we have picked up 29 points .

I guess you are right we have in our squad too many players comfortable and no desire to fight just going through the motions. Unless we have the the fully committed players on the pitch this will continue to happen. To get more points we need the injured players back.

Most players have picked up injuries and have lost speed by the time they reach their late twenties / thirties. As time passes those injuries become more niggling and disruptive which is why we're struggling so much. For the last three years we've also only been an injury to Zaha away from being relegation fodder.

Sorry but with the exception of Wilf the others are always injured at various times during the season. Most of them are now getting on age wise and recover less quickly.

It’s not an excuse....we all know these players are at the end of their careers and can’t play more than 3 or 4 games in a row.
