Say NO to Ginger Managers
ffs why dont we put out an injury eleven in the derby all these players in doubt or confirmed out.
GK Traore
RWB Coleman
CB Jags
CB Distin
CB Alcaraz
LWB Oveido
CM Ross
CM Pienaar
CM Gibson
ST Deulofeu
ST Kone

Obviously some may get back like Ross and Jags but it is ridiculous the number we have out and the impact it could have on our season.

Can't beleive all those players are injured...fuming.
 
A lot of talk about us having a small squad but the injured list almost shows how we do have numbers. Clearly we dont have the quality in depth of chelsea or city. I am really hopeful at least a couple from that list (Jags and Barkley in particular) are fit. Would be nice if deulofeu made the bench too

Those players could make it into the Derby with a painkiller, IMO.

I believe there's an overreaction by Martinez to niggles and strains. He's a physio as well as a manager and I think he's been way too conservative in his scheduling of injured player's returns.

Agreed.

I suspect we will see Ross tomorrow. Just a gut feeling
 
The worst thing about the injuries is that we arent bringing anyone in to cover us!

Even if we loaned a couple of players until march to see us through. What is the worst case scenario? They aren't very good? Well i think playing the same team every game, both f.a cup and league will be a lot worse in the long run.

I mean the game plan could well be to contain teams and counter them with our pace for 90 minutes. If it helps us win games rather than go all out then the cost of loaning said players will not be that high and we won't have to see them after march 1st.

I think we're only allowed 4 loans per season, some rule like that.

Any cover now would have to be purchases

Foreign ones we can have. I am sure Juve, Barca, AC, Roma, Real, PSG to name a few have a squad player or two that they really arent going to miss for a couple of months. as is said no need for them to be better than what we have, just simply good enough to come in and do a job whislt we have the above players out.

We should have stolen them italians from the hammers as well. Agreed a deal to take them and instead we send them Guye and Vellios for the rest of the season.
 
Liverpool also seem to be having their fair share of injury issues. From what I can tell Agger, Sakho, Johnson, Enrique, Coates, Allen and Lucas all injured. There must be a merseyside injury bug going around!

Thats the point of a squad mate, you can't over saturate the team because a player picks up an injury and is out for 6 weeks; its why you have players who can fill in. Our long term injuries are Gibson, Kone and now, unfortunatley, Oviedo who will miss the majority of the season. The rest our general injuries what most clubs pick up, the strains, the niggles which benches a player for a couple of weeks/month.

The addition of McGeady adds versitality, Stones can cover rightback and centre back, Hibbert is also cover for right back. Barry can slot into left back if ever needed, probably Distin at a push as well with Oviedo now missing the last 16 games if Baines picks up a knock. Central midfield is probably the only place where we would need cover.
 
Won't really affect them away from Lucas to be honest. Couthino will play with Henderson and Gerrard and they will play with Stirling/Moses with the other two up front.

It is the ebnch or lack of it that they will struggle with, as will us. The game will be won either in the first 70 minutes or the last 5.
