2018/19 Andre Gomes

[Tipp blue]

Hoe bad does bruising have to be before you cant play football? Imagine calling into work and telling them you cant come in coz you have a bruise. Modern football is sometimes laughable.

Hope he's back for the derby. We could cope without Gyfi but Gomes would be a massive loss.

We simply have no replacement or formation change to cope without him.

Be arsed seeing Schneirderlin or Davies in the derby.

Don't know about that,can't see Bernard closing down like he does which will be vital if we want to get anything out of the game.

Anyone ever notice how bad players never get injured.

Cuco Martina is indestructible.

..it might be a ‘dead leg’. Regardless, the club are doing exactly the right thing.

He's made a list of underrated players by The Guardian. Former Blue Shane Duffy makes the list, too.

I was reading this without my spectacles and couldnt quite make out the "pp" part of your nick. Thought it was a t.

Anyway, enough of that. Im pleased him and Iceland are staying behind.

Depends where it is, have you ever had a badly bruised foot/ankle and tried to run on it never mind play.

Its not exactly the same as some fat spud calling into his office job sick is it.

 

[Baines' left foot]

But then we’d have to bring Davies in.

Might as well play with 10 men!!!!

 

[Bob Latchford]

We need both back and playing asap
Both have been massive for us in recent games.
I think the midfield balance we have at the minute can not be easily replaced - It’s probably been up there with the best in the league...

Hopefully not too serious

I have had bruise foot that stopped me walking for three days from a studs on the top of the foot. Swelled up like a balloon. Had xrays, nothing broken
Not sure I would have been fit for international duty, even in the 1960s.

Well there was that time he took an almighty tumble in Europe mate.

Personally I always thought it was a mistake letting Duffy go.

It's hard with all young players to make that decision, but especially defenders.

If you look at the players 21 or younger on the clubs books at the moment, in or around the first team squad or on loan. Virgina, Kenny, Holgate, Feeney, Robinson, Connolly, Davies, Baningime, Dowell, Onyekuru, Lookman, Vlasic, DCL, Richarlison. Most of these players are not yet ready to be regular starters at a premier league club, but I would wager nearly all of them will be playing in the premier league, or an overseas league of a similar standard, by the time they are 25/26. I'd also be surprised if more than 3 or 4 will still be with us at that age. The rest will have moved on, either because they weren't good enough for us or they wanted regular football which they weren't getting as part of our squad.
