Sure, there's a very high likelihood we go through to the final next-week Tuesday but that's a terrible way to start the two-legged tie.
Could not have asked for better favorable circumstances and opponent, given the injury crisis.

Everytime you lot look like you have turned a corner, you then go and play like that.

How has Cole Palmer become your most important player inside 6 months.

You lot are baffling at the moment

mental how a team that spends almost half a billion on players has a bench like that!!

Well, that's not the brightest of comments

In our defence that is due to our injury list of 12 key squad (25) being out.

We have in fact spent over 1 bln on new players in this rebuild by Bohley - Clearlake.

every club has injuries , it happens. for eg for the last two months my club have been having to play a RB and CB as our two CM's. We spent big on a striker only to have his skull fractured early in the season, come back 2 games then out for the season requiring knee surgery. another 4 of our players have season long injuries.

thing is medical supervision is far more meticulous than ever and sports scientists opinions are pretty strong now. Injuries will continue to become more and more prevalent IMO.

Not every club has these injuries though. Chelsea have the most injuries of any club in europe the last 3 years.

where is the source for this?

for eg my team has had about 13 of our first team players missing for more the season so far than have been available for it ..... including 4 that have been pretty much season long injuries.

Again baffling given how young a lot of your players are and the fact you are not in Europe so not over burdened with fixtures.

I doubts it’s Poch’s training methods either as I don’t remember anything like this at Spurs.

Nick , `Borough had 12 out!

Spurs have had the following missing for 3 plus games this season:

Son
Udogie
Romero
Perisic
Solomon
VDV
Maddison
Davies
Bentancur
Bissouma
Sarr
Sessegnon

It’s been mental. You do wonder what impact the winter World Cup had on these players

Brighton & Hove Albion 8
Burnley 5
Chelsea 10

Manchester United 13
Newcastle United 10
Nottingham Forest 10
Sheffield United 7
Tottenham Hotspur 12
West Ham United 7

absolutley, were not on our own with this,

Our issue is we dont have a squad with enough of the needed (depth) qualities to maintain the required level of competitiveness.

na i think its its Dr's.... there is a reason why players are playing far longer into their careers than before. they are being far better managed. Players playing through knocks to deter surgery is almost non existent nowadays.

Teams above us:

Liverpool> 10

Villa > 7

City > 6

Arsenal > 7

Spurs > 12

W/Ham> 7 >

BHA> 8

Utd > 10

N/Castle > 13


Imo, the issue is the squad is light in strength in depth to compete, over reliant on young talented prospects who require positivity, & guidance.

not sure why you've put that...doesn't have any relevance to what I said.

In terms of days/games out, we've had the most injuries of any team in the last 3 years.
Was the highest in the PL in 21/22. Second highest I believe last year in 22/23 and us and man utd have the highest this season so far this season.

Can't remember where I find the average on twitter over the last few season but will have a look and see if I can find it.

Some of Chelsea injuries are for players that are generally injury prone though anyway. It seems to me that Chelsea have had a combination of the normal amount of injuries from game volume, plus the players that generally struggle with injuries.

Enzo and Caicedo must be the worst value pound for pound central midfield ever created.

How did you work that out , or are you chatting blx
