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.

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.

I am sorry spurs fans. Fuck injuries man. They take all the promise out of a positive season.

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

It's definitely the knock-on effects from the mid-season WC i reckon

And paid the refs as well dont forget. You just don't have a chance do you?

City just have an incredibly strong squad, they can sub anyone and lose very little quality.

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)

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.

Lolz. Karmic after going through this thread

People celebrating his injury and shrugging it off coz it was United. Not funny when it happens to someone else eh?

He’s a fantastic player, but injuries are his biggest flaw.
