WE ARE CURSED

100%

I have absolutely no doubt we pick up more injuries in training/outside of matches than anyone else. It isn’t even up for debate in my opinion.

I believe we suffer more injuries, on a regular basis, than most other clubs. When you look at how many of our injuries occur in training, there is obviously a fundamental problem there. Whether, as has been suggested in a previous thread, there is a problem with the playing surface at Finch Farm, or, if there is a problem in our fitness work, it is the impossible to say. There would also seem to be something not quite right in the medical department, as so many times, players are out, initially, for an estimated 4 weeks, and actually are out for 3 months or more.

Cursed and buy injury prone/not arsed players

Need Danny Donachie back with his burning sage…..

On a serious note, I do think his methods have some merit, just not convinced they / he was right to lead sports science.

This trend doesn't need to be cast away as some kind of historical mystic misfortune. It's fully on the shoulders of the club management, for years neglecting the fitness programme at the club, signing or hanging on to ageing players and relying on injury prone first teamers to start every game.

We've had some bad luck. The leg breaks in the last ten? years??: Coleman, Oviedo, Gomes, Godfrey, McCarthy. Any other clubs had this many?

Serious knee injuries: Kone, Gbamin, Bolassie, Coleman?, DCL, Townsend, and possibly more that I can't remember.

I think our run of the mill injuries are no worse than anybody else though. Once you get a bit of bad luck with the bad ones though. and then factor in that injuries occur all the time anyway. and it will start to look like there's an issue.

Anyway, you guys are mental lol I've been taking a well deserved break from all things Everton, and trying not to spend too much time thinking or talking about us. Doesn't always work like, as evidenced by me now posting, but what's inspired this thread? What have I missed? Or should I ask, who's still got 2 legs?

Does seem to have gotten worse since we moved to Finch Farm in 2007 doesn't it?

As an aside... didn't a laborer die during construction of the site?

Remember when Richard Wright got injured warming up in the area, by falling over a sign that said do not warm up in the area? I think we peaked at that point and deserve all the injuries we get.
