Exactly and it was more accepted to play injured. These days players don't wanna play with little niggles that are probably in their minds 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Game was tougher then, arguably. Seems we have much to learn.... Much less running in those days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's more knocks they would play through. They wouldn't have played with calf/groin/hamstring tears or pulls. Link to post Share on other sites

Far more soothing than the old shiny Izal. Like wiping your arse on tracing paper! Cut to ribbons! Link to post Share on other sites

MrEdwards 602 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Rhodes mentioned 4 day match prep, could this be driving injuries? He stated there will be less time out on the training pitch under Pulis when the games are coming thick and fast. Link to post Share on other sites
Shetland Owl 1,318 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This has been an issue (not tissue) for years and no one so far has been able to pinpoint the problem Link to post Share on other sites

Different training methods, different coaches , different methods and finally different players? The only one constant is the pitches? Just a thought Are the pitches a constant, though. I have often wondered what sort of pitch is laid at the Training Ground? Are we training on a different surface to the Desso at Hillsborough? And is there any connection or discrepancy between the two? Link to post Share on other sites

It's a long watch but really interesting. Initially thought it looked crap and with a Man U fan and Russian journalist behind it, has all hall marks of a conspiracy theory. However, it's all pretty basic and believable. Marginal gains has alot to answer for. Interested in @scram 's view as always and someone with great insights into the game. Doping/Cheating has some obvious extremes but there is a very murky gray area in the middle. Like he says, ultimately managers/players/owners, and especially the fans, don't care if they win...sure we'd be the same. Also like his point re journalists are too much part of the system to either spot or say anything critical about it, as they risk their privledged positions. Not just about this topic, you could argue that about all most all journalism now, sport and everywhere else. The story about the gymnast at the end is so depressing, but totally believable. Wonder who the footballer is he mentions. Not read original article but off to dig it out now. Other sad thing is, if your trying to link it to our injuries, we haven't had any of the performance benefits so we can't even cheat well Thanks for posting Link to post Share on other sites
