FFS

The Everton curse again, I said the other day that this has now been an issue under various managers and the problem seems more deep rooted, however our fitness/conditioning work is just so woeful and even as someone with a Sports Science background myself it's gone on for so long now I have no idea what the answer is.

Maybe it has something to do with the pitch surface at FF. I cant imagine the training methods continue regardless of players getting injured by it.

It's clear that Finch Farm is built on an Indian burial site. Speculation centres on the remains of one of Sam Allardyce's Chicken Tikka Masalas.

 

[blulouie]

Everton that.

 

[RomanReigns]

its fine, we've got two world cup midfielders anyway and an injured tom davies

….I’ve said so many times that the pitches at FF are ridiculously firm, there’s very little give in them. I mentioned this to the groundsman who said the surface replicates the one at Goodison & most PL grounds.

i do think that training every day on such pitches not only increases the risk of injury, it must take its toll in respect of wear and tear.

That's right, I remember.

Must be something in this.

If that's the case then that needs to be reflected in the strength and conditioning work that the players do so their bodies can cope with it with a view to preventing future injury and clearly it isn't or we are doing the wrong stuff.

I went on the Goodison pitch a few years ago and it was rock hard.

Probably cos its barely grass these days.

Premier League pitches do use real grass. However, the natural grass is commonly combined with artificial fibres. That mixture of real grass and artificial fibres keeps Premier League pitches in great condition throughout the year.

There must be something else because it’s very rare that our players get injured actually doing anything let alone playing football matches.

Oh they saying now he did it getting out of bed ? ? ?

Oh I, my GP said to me when I rucked up with a bad back in my late 20s, "have you been shagging to hard" (true story).
