This was always going to happen. It’s sp*rs
Is anyone really surprised, Isn’t this James Maddison’s M.O…
Play really well for a few weeks, then get injured for 2 months… Repeat.
How? Im looking and he averaged like 35 starts in the last 6 years around 40 games played per season. Transfermarkt says he was only injured for more than a month twice. It looks like he mostly missed England games than Leicester games.
Unfortunately yes, it is. Although I think most people were hopeful that our lack of fixture congestion this year would allow us an extended run with him.
I guess it’s now about showing the other half of the squad and seeing if Ange can get a tune out of the traditional underperformers on the bench.
Gio, Dier, Davies, etc are all going to have to step up massively, and we’ll see if Angeball works so well with a depleted squad.
On the other hand, this is an opportunity for the younglings to break into the team. Veliz will no doubt get minutes, and hopefully Ashley Phillips can get some time in the back line.
A serious miss for them.
Guess we see now how good they are!
The way Maddison went down looked strange for spraining an ankle. Replay didn’t show any twisting motion. Looked more like some type of an Achilles injury to me but hopefully not.
That’s what I thought too when I first saw it. Didn’t really seem to twist it, more like he just pulled up suddenly which is never good. But I thought he was walking on it after, if it was a serious Achilles problem I doubt he could. Hopefully he’s alright
You could weight bear on a partially ruptured achilles, but it could still require a few months to heal.
Tendons do not get the same blood supply as muscle, so they take a lot longer to heal.
9 possibly 10 games out for him and van de Ven. That’s going to hurt any club, and especially Spurs since these are among their two best players. Spurs should be looking for top four anyway and I think they can still get it what with no European football.
it’s joever
He probably only misses Wolves
He’s excepted back in January lol
Only wolves?!?!
Out for 1-3 months
So many injuries this season across all the clubs, seems to be impacting the Top 7 quite badly.
Apart from City of course who just have De Bruyne out and definitely aren’t taking PED’s to keep their injuries in check. Arsenal did it with ‘vitamin’ injections in the 90’s
And paid the refs as well dont forget. You just don’t have a chance do you?
It’s definitely the knock-on effects from the mid-season WC i reckon
A lot of teams had american preseasons aswell, playing on those pitches fucked over Arsenal
Yeah I’m wondering if teams will be avoiding American tours next summer especially after the euros. I think it’d be pretty cool to just do a local tour
With city’s players often flying out to see the doctor Pep has been using since he was a player (pep got caught twice for drug cheating whilst working with this doctor)
City just have an incredibly strong squad, they can sub anyone and lose very little quality.
Except Rodri apparently
True, but every team would struggle without their most important player
They also control their games and aren’t doing quite as many full field sprints to track back. Or, at the very least, that’s what I suspect the stats will back up.
Everyone does that. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry where players can make generational wealth. Anyone who thinks PED usage isn’t rife at the top levels of every major sport is naive as hell.
Always sad to see a player get hurt, he was cooking for them.
Theres always next season.
I don’t want to speak to soon, who knows maybe somehow we beat wolves and City still. But this season was never about winning the league and the fact that it’s even discussed still amazes and excited me. Before the season started I’m pretty sure most Spurs fans would be happy with coming 6th whilst playing nice football given that we were obviously working towards something. especially now that Kane has gone
Indeed, it’s been a great start for you guys. Tbh after last season, the expectations and hope this season has just been killing me
TBF, no season for you lot is about winning the league. Finishing fourth and maybe ‘putting the pressure on’ is what you’re about
Ok?
Well seeing as we’ve been in title races I’m not sure I agree with you. Nice try though you’d probably get a good rise out of one or two people on twitter where comments like that belong
Thats ferrari motto
Sad to see rival fans celebrating injuries and holding this over spurs as ‘karma’. I would never wish injury on a player, not even one of my bitterest rivals.
This has gone beyond karma. This is God deciding that “Fuck Tottenham”.
Rivals are really really desperate for us to lose, more than usual
Wolves away is suddenly looking a lot more tricky than it did a week ago
Yet again the game against Chelsea has huge implications for their season
Chelsea screwing up Spurs since 2016
Fs my FPL team is in bits now
Lolz. Karmic after going through this thread
https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/17mtk3k/casemiro_ruled_out_for_several_weeks/k7n1nph/
People celebrating his injury and shrugging it off coz it was United. Not funny when it happens to someone else eh?
…
Where do you see Spurs fans celebrating here? Are you saying it’s karma for Spurs players to get injured because fans of other clubs celebrated Casemiro’s injury?
Clown.
Cry about it
