[matty1878]

[matty1878]

Resist the temptation mate.

We’re definitely cursed. Ffs

Well I think he had an illness then got a red card.

I agree on your overall point that he was a bit overused pre Christmas, but he clearly hasn't been overused in the last month. He has only started 3 of the last 6, one of which he didn't finish due to a sending off.

Its extremely disappointing, and I'm not going to defend the clubs overall record with injuries and getting players fit. But this one does just feel like a bit of horrible luck for both Jack and us.

There's been a cumulative effect on his body. He should have been played more sparingly but the manager has failed to make that decision.

This isn't being wise after the event either. I've been calling for Grealish to be played less often well before the Christmas run of games.

Earlier in the season perhaps, but certainly not recently. 3 starts in 6 matches is not a workload that you would call excessive

Another injury. We just can’t keep our best players fit at the same time. As soon as Branthwaite is returning we lose Grealish and KDH

He's played about 4 games for City in the 2nd half of last season and this season hels played 20 matches for us.

Unreal.

Same here, honestly amazed he’s been allowed to stay on this forum for so long. Monopolises threads to the point where it puts people off posting.

He’s a pathetic WUM and try not to bite.

Message I received before.

You don't know what you're talking about Dave.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

I'm pretty sure that's the reason he wanted to leave City. He's the type of player who wants to play every minute of every game and I respect that a lot.

I'm not disagreeing that he's played a little bit more than you'd want. Mainly due to the fact we don't have a proper squad.

But the injury has happened at a point where he has played only half the matches in the last month and has had his minutes reduced a lot. So it's really not a clear cut discussion point, especially about who is to blame. You could be right, but none of us know right now. Given the timing, I probably lean towards it being just terrible luck.

Jack is not a lad that will accept a rest, you might find a few out there that just happy to sit out and take a wage.

If he believes he's up to it, he's gonna play every game he can.

If you had ever played football you would understand it.

I suppose we overplayed KDH aswell after lack of gametime at chelsea.

 

[duncs pigeon]

Im now convinced the forum wum is a kopite, he's using Benitez sayings now -FACT, and he was a fan of his

 

[Chegsy]

Colour me surprised, he's blaming Moyes.

The silver lining to something rotten like this is often that you get to see the resilience and determination that some people show when faced with adversity.



Once more @davek has proven a shining example to us all of how to turn a negative into an opportunity.
