2019/20 Andre Gomes

[Frang]

He's not a very good defensive player and he's not particularly creative. But he does do some stuff exceptionally well. He's a good player to have on the team, but he's not a starter in a top club or anything.

for me he controls our tempo … which is far too slow at times..

 

[gonetomorrow]

When's he due back? is it a broken rib he has? That's painful.

He could be, if the other players around him in a system that suited him were better.

He has always had the talent.

 

[Dozbik]

We are screwed without the great bearded one.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

We definitely miss his quality on the ball.

 

[billyblue80]

We miss him badly he keeps the ball. He could do more but he's our metronome in there.

 

[micknick]

Anyone know how much longer he out for?

 

[billyblue80]

Is he back training or what? Longest rib 'injury' ever. Unless he cracked them and the club didn't say which is probably the truth.

Silva mentioned they were taking it slowly with him and he might not be available until after the International break and the West Ham game

Well I think thats what he said last press conference before City

Bah. I guess we will need him more against West Ham but we are badly missing him now. Delph/Morgan is too similar

 

[Desaparecido]

His poor ribs must be broken... ouch

Worried about this, someone speculated about that call up for the young lad could be because he is out for a while, not sure if they play the same spot?

as has been said throughout the thread, rib injuries are painful and heal slowly since they are easy to aggravate and almost impossible to treat other than by rest ( you can’t put a cast on ribs).

Whether it’s a crack, cartilage separation, or whatever, have to wait it out.

I suffered a crack several years ago moving sacks of gravel downhill in a wheelbarrow. The wheel hit a rut, the wheelbarrow stopped suddenly and I caught the end of the handle in the rib cage. Very painful when I moved a certain way or even a sneeze or cough. No treatment possible. Aggravated it in a fishing boat when the waves got rough andi got jostled. Took 5-6 weeks to heal. Now I’m a fat badtard and not a worldclass athlete but there you have it.

 

[Ring master]

Back in training,weekend probably to quick maybe for him

 

[billyblue80]

Straight back in for me. He will have two weeks rest after anyway.
