When you see how out of condition our squad looks most of the time, compared to the opposition, it's not surprising really.
This used to be a huge problem at spurs, to the point where Redknapp had to keep a second set of 11 players and still couldn't get by with 3 senior strikers and about 72 centre backs with an average age of 35.
Don't ask me how, but it's an issue solved (for the most part) by Pochettino. I think it could be argued that perhaps the fitter you are as a player, the smaller the likelihood you'll get injured? Just postulating, as fitness is the biggest change he brought in.
Of course injuries still happen, but they seem to be exponentially fewer in quantity and duration these days - but as has been previously mentioned, you tend not to notice the injury list of the teams you don't follow with such detail.
Eh?Wot?
Is he still on the books at City being paid handsomely for being "Home grown" and just turning up for photo ops pretending he's a city squad player?He does look like a proper simpleton...
Not so sure. Lamela and vertonghen and now Kane have all had big injuries this year just off the top of my head.

I seem to remember Saha doing his hamstring in the same game Yakubu did his Achilles when we played Spurs in 08.
There was also the Pistone fiasco around 06, just weeks after signing a new 2 year contract he injures his cruciate ligament and then never played for us again.
Dodgy injuries are part of the fabric of the club.........Move along now.....nothing to see here!
I think it is something that gets managed/handled outside of managerial roles in some ways, and perhaps comes down to the facilities or attitude towards medical/sport sciences.
