The greatest healer since Hippocrates"Goat blood"
To add to that, even if we patched him up and he started i strongly suspect he'd be holding back and playing within himself. We've seen that before. First, he's just not effective doing that. Second, he starts getting pelters for 'not trying' and the like.Yeah BBC said hamstring and Dyche said hamstring when asked something in the presser, wasn’t talking about Patterson as his is “jarred knee”.
I can’t see anyone going off before halftime with any sort of hamstring issue after 2 years of injuries playing a week later. Even if he started, the team would be waiting for the inevitable and we’d be on plan B after 20 mins. Hoping for a miracle really. After all this time, he will know his body inside out (and that level of constant pain/symptom monitoring ruins you mentally) so it’s not like he’s mistaken cramp for something else.
The way they’ve delayed and delayed his return, potentially putting points at risk, and it still hasn’t helped him be more robust, I can’t see much hope. Summer of rehab is no different to missing 3 months of the season. They’ll start talking about ops at some point, and mystery specialists in Austria or Canada; that really will be the end of him.
In my football career (if you’d call it that) I only find a hammy twice, I was out for 6-7 weeks both times…. First few days was even painful to walk let alone anything else, awfully restrictive injuryMaybe, but have you tried to run when you've pulled a hammy? It's physically quite hard to do so!
Very true. Goodison needs to be on fire, and no good for him, the team or keeping the crowd on side if he’s having to manage something. It won’t work. It’s going to be a game for warriors. He’s been really mobile since he came back and showed exactly what we’ve missed. Really chuffed for him that he had such a visible impact immediately. If anything he’ll get sucked into the atmosphere, chase a lost cause and end up carried off and we’ll end up putting Begovic on as a false 9. Am sure they will spend the week preparing the lineup without him, but maybe with fingers crossed behind their backTo add to that, even if we patched him up and he started i strongly suspect he'd be holding back and playing within himself.

Speculating of course, but I would be surprised to see anything than a brief appearance off the bench. At the very outside.
At the risk of going off topic, I like this idea. Why hasn't Dyche tried it?Very true.

I do feel for him he is in a really tough spot at the moment, I have seen a few people in similar situations through my work and it's horrible. Do you push on and have a bitty career that's very stop/start all the time and run the risk of needing a walking stick by the time you are in your mid to late 40's because your hamstrings have collapsed. Or do you call it a day now whilst you can. Being a pro footballer is a dream for a lot of young lads though and it's not any easy decision to make.
Yeah, we get paid 150m and Dom gets 6billion.If he chose to retire in the summer (i would) what happens next?
Insurance payout to the club? Im sure he'd also receive a large payout on his contract.

Cos insurance companies love giving away free money.
He won't retire, why the hell would he.
I would be very surprised if we seen him next week myself, maybe they will throw him on the bench to make it look like he's half fit etc to make the oppo think.
