Agreed it's looking very thin... If we can get through today with a point or even better 3 then the International break is very welcome to try and get some of them back training again.

Could possibly see Hughes and Riedewald starting in the middle I reckon which will be interesting. As poor as the team performance against Man Utd in the League Cup was I actually though Riedewald did ok.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

What the hell is going on in training? Two more injuries to Ward and Doucoure. How are we going to compete with no holding midfielders and no creative attackers.

older players are more injury-prone. So that explains Ward then.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

I blame the conditioning coaches. Too many hamstring injuries mean that either they're not being warmed up enough or they are doing too much work on the quads which is causing an imbalance in the legs and the hamstrings aren't strong enough to cope.

This is it for me. There is too many now for this to be just bad luck, the club should be reviewing its preparations for both daily training sessions and match days.

The problem is then compounded by Roy's reluctance to use subs and have the same benchwarmers given some precious match time. Again, one of those yesterday - Jairo - was not match fit enough to complete the match and the problem compounds itself.
